Tonight I was able to see and talk to the 17 kids in my first grade class through Skype!! I was on the laptop screen in the classroom and then on the BIG (Smartboard) screen for about an hour while the kids came into the classroom in the morning. Each child had a chance to say his/her name and I got to speak to each one for a few minutes. We talked about the weather in Delhi (RAIN, RAIN, RAIN), brothers/sisters, losing a tooth, favorite books, birthdays, star student of the week, home countries, pool parties, scootering....
It was a pleasure to talk to each one and finally put names with faces! I look forward to being in my classroom, meeting my class for the first time, and actually teaching... I know teachers are supposed to be excited for summer break, but really... I've had enough!!
Karen,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you guys were moving to India until you confirmed my friend request on FB and I found your blog!
I want you to know that we will be praying for the visa process and safe travel when the time comes!!
