First Observation Day!

Today was a very nice day! My host teacher does not teach until 1:45. I am not supposed to walk to or from school by myself. My teacher told me to just walk with my professor and come in later today. It was great. I got to sleep in, which is sleeping until 6:30 after that, my room turns into a snuna. I went to breakfast then came back to my room and laid down, then got up look at my lesson. I followed that up with some laying around before showering and eating lunch. My professor and I headed over to school to meet with my host teacher and talk about the lesson, which the host teacher told me to come early. I get there and she tells me to take a 10min break. I think we looked sweaty and over heated. Then, I did my lesson. It went okay. It was a very simple topic, which in the U.S. I would have only spent maybe 30mins, but I obviously cannot just come in and tell the teacher what I will be doing. I took her advice and somehow made this a 80min lesson. Sandy, my professor, said I did a good job, but she could see my frustration with it be such a slow lesson. We talked about how this is all a learning lesson, learning to be patient. Not something us student teachers seem to be use to. After we got back, I sat in my room trying to cool off. Then we sat outside and chit chated. Shortly, I will be going for dinner. Tomorrow Sandy is coming in again to watch me. It is nice to have a chance to teach, but it is very different. There is too much down time for my liking. It is strating to make going to school dreadful. Oh well! Check out the pics of my teaching!

Also, this morning, after breakfast, I opened the door and stepped into my room. I thought I felt something drop on my shoulder. I looked at my shoulder, and, sure enough, there is a little gecko. He quickly jumps on the door frame and hids. Don't worry. I took his picture.
