The visit went quite well. I have a working schedule:

8:30-9:10 Third grade
9:10 - 9:50 Fourth grade
(run home and get some lunch)
1:30 - 2:30 Fifth grade
2:30 - 3:30 Sixth and seventh grade
3:30 - 4:30 Eighth and ninth grade
4:30 - 5:30 Tenth and eleventh grade

The younger students always scream when they see me. It always catches me off guard the first time. My regular day to day hardly involves screams of loving welcome.

The first day is always the most awkward when it comes to the older kids (grade 6+). It’s like seeing distant cousins that are about your age after a while. You know them but it’s weird to just run up and be super friendly all of a sudden. We announced the class times to each class. The younger kids are always hyped but as they get older their enthusiasm takes a hit. I am actually afraid no older students will even show up :P but to be fair for the past three years, while the first day is rough, students do get themselves to class.

The priest/principal was not there today but I will be able to meet him tomorrow before classes start. These first posts are supposed to be boring — the real fun begins tomorrow.

Until then!

    Hi! I'm Samalya. When I'm not running about cramming for school I sit on my laptop and (attempt to) make a curriculum to improve spoken English in rural Sri Lanka!
