First day of school!

When i first pulled up to Calf Pen Meadow I didnt see any windows.It was right next to a liquore store so i didnt know if that would have been the school. It just looked like a brick building and i couldnt even find a door. Finally i parked and walked around the school to find a door. After my 3rd time being there i just walk in and go to the classroom I am assigned. The kindergarton classroom children are very welcoming and happy we are there. My teacher is also very happy that she has extra help. But my first grade teacher is a little different. She's groucy and yells at the children alot. The school's environment isnt as welcoming as i thought it would be. I couldnt find the office the first day we walked in there, it was right around the corner. Also theres big brick stairs and it doesnt look much like an inside of an elementary school. The kindergarton children are learning how to rhyme and sound out words. I observe the classroom and see if they need any help for a half hour. Then i take 3 children outside in an empty classroom and help them with there letters. After another half hour i move to the 1st grade classroom. They are learning how to put words into a sentence. I also took 3 children out of the room and gave them one on one help. I loved all of the children i was working with. They all wanted to learn and were very friendly children. So far, my experience has been great!
