School started today, and I think things went pretty well in both my English and Maths class. I only had form 1s today and they are currently quite shy, but seem very nice. There are 27 in the class right now, but it may grow as large as 50 by the end of the week!! This should get interesting, especially when we don't have anywhere near enough books. Soc. Studies without books to read and no way to do research should be fun.
Names are also a challenge, seeing as now I don't just have to learn them, I have to learn how to pronounce them!
All in all things started well, certainly better than my first day of teaching in NYC, when I accidentally thought my student Shaniqua was a boy!!
