This is the first week of the new job and it is going pretty well. I have yet to be late and have been returning from lunch break promptly at the designated time. The kids are still getting used to me being their new teacher. I can see them testing me to see how far they can get. I stand my ground and repeat myself, each time my voice getting firmer and louder. I haven't had any too defiant acts, but I am anticipating one soon. The odds are in that favor. Right now I am in the awkward limbo between newbie and regular. Some things I don't know about the kids but am learning as I go.
It's really cute because I will be reading, or painting, or playing with a child and then they stop and look up at me for a few seconds. I often wonder what they are thinking at that moment. I look back and give a goofy smile and the child laughs and goes on with what they were doing before. What do you think they are thinking? I wish I could read their minds.
The kids are still getting to know me and still ask me my name. It's funny because one moment they will say my name and the next they are asking my name again. I wonder if it's just a plow to talk to me. After all I am kind of a big deal.lol I am still waiting for my first hug. I haven't received one yet. That will be the day I will officially be their teacher.
