First Day at Celebration School!

Soooo today was the first day of teaching at the Celebration School and it was really good! Everyone we met was very very friendly and welcoming! The school campus is beautiful! Everything is set outside so there are no hallways, just open areas. My teacher and the class are wonderful! The kids had made me a whole bulletin board full of "Welcome to Florida" cards and greetings. We had a question and answer time where the kids had written down a few questions (many of them were 'what's your favorite color' and 'how old are you') so I had a chance to share a little about myself with the kids. I had also taken down buckeyes to give to each child and when I gave them out the kids were amazed and asking a bunch of quesions about them! So the buckeyes were a great success! I hope that I get to know the kids very quickly and that everything goes well. I'm a little nervous to work with Florida standards seeing as how all I know is Ohio :/ But it's all about the new experience right? Right.
All of the people we met today were so friendly and welcoming! Steph and I met our supervisor and she seems very nice and very willing to work with us.
Even though the weather here is amazing, my allergies are KILLING me. I honestly feel like my head is going to explode! But hopefully with all the allergy meds I'm taking I will start feeling better soon!
More updates soon :)
