First Day of School

Whew. Gym, Latin, and German. I've never really been a teacher before and I think it will be a really interesting experience. I felt sort of silly today, because you all know each other, and you know me, but on TV and in movies, on the first day of school the teacher goes on about themselves and the class. It seems as if you are taking Latin you would know that we'd be learning Latin. How much can you really say about that?

I've been busy getting ready for the new school year. I won't be teaching you German out of a book, but I spent a lot of time learning about teaching Americans a foreign language. I realize that not all of you are American but I figured that would be my starting point. FOr Latin, I looked at a lot of textbooks, but we'll be using Wheelock, and Richard LaFleur's Ovid reader. I don't know how Ali talked me into teaching dance with her, but I think it will be rather fun, really.

Good luck in your first week.
