I am teaching senior II, which is sophomore level.
I have 16 classes with about 50 students in each class.
So the class size is a little smaller that anticipated but I was given a few more classes than expected. So it still works out that I have about 800 students.
The students were very excited to have a foreigner for a teacher.
I introduced myself and passed around some pictures of my life in America.
They are very interested in every aspect of the "American Life"
One student asked me if I can help them study for the SAT's so I can help them get into an American University.
I will keep you all updated when I have some more free time.
Here are some pictures of the school and apartment.
Please remember me and the new relationships I develop.
A few thousand students at another school. The opening ceremony.
Bedroom and closet.
My apartment...it's a little empty, but it's a work in progress.
My apartment building...I am in the building on the right...4th floor.
