First Day

My first day at St.Vincent de Paul exceeded my expectations. The environment and community at that school is extremely welcoming. Many of the teachers commented that if we ever needed anything, then just ask. It is a great staff that would love to see us succeed. As for my classroom, I don't think I could have asked for anything better for a first block. My associate wants me to think of her classroom as also my classroom, so that made me feel extremely at ease. The students are very social and everyday they never cease to amaze me with their creativity and eagerness to learn. My associate has given me the opportunity to teach a few lessons before the block actually started and I am thankful for that. That allowed me to feel more comfortable and less nervous for when the block starts.
Any nervousness I had that first day was soon gone and I am looking forward to spending the next month at St.Vincent de Paul.
