First Day of School: First Lesson "Fly By the Seat of Your Pants

So today marked my first day. Naturally I had the first day jitters and was up by 5am. Since I tend to have most of my creative thoughts in the morning I added on to my lesson plan to spice it up then headed off to work. Apparently on Saturday after I spent almost 4 hours moving and arranging furniture, the guy who cleaned my floor decided that he would pile all of it up on one part of the room. My first task therefore became to rearrange my room before the kids got to school. I arrived at 7:15 and damn it the school bus was on time so they arrived at 7:30. Since when did buses actually make it to school on time the first day??? Luckily the principal aka the Nun wanted to have some private meeting with the kids so she bought me enough time to fix the room back to the way it was supposed to look before they arrived.
I greet all the students in the cafeteria where they were having their meeting and shook all of their hands. Of course there was one girl who decided that her hands were too dirty to shake my hand *sideeye*. The nun was like "it looks like she isn't one for shaking hands" so i replied as I cut my eye at her "looks like she's about to learn. Shaking hands is polite". Right then I knew she was going to be my problem child. So after, I took the boys into class for their first lesson. Yes we did work on the first day of school. LOL. Class went flawlessly. They were very attentive, extremely engaged, and very respectful. They didn't even notice that we spent 1hr 30 minutes on math lol. Towards the end of the math lesson one of the other teachers gives me the message that I would also be teaching the language arts piece too. WTF, I only prepared for the math class and you want me to teach a 1hr class on the fly. Well because I'm the shit, I pulled together this lesson using two poems. One about a man who gets mad because someone gave him the wrong clock and the other about the destruction of the world. From that we talked about reading with accuracy, speed, fluency, and comprehension. Now to say this lesson went perfect would be a stretch because the girls joined in my class. Let's just say they were not so easily transitioned back into school. Attitude was on 10 and they tried for the longest to avoid participation until they realized the lesson wasn't all that boring and it was something to which they could relate. Then we all were recruited to move limbs. The kids had to move all these limbs to the street. I felt bad so I helped for a little while but I had on Cole Haans, slacks, a dress shirt, and a bowtie you know that was very short lived. The rest of the day turned out pretty well and the girls finally realized that I wasn't as evil as I may have seemed. They all have lots to accomplish because the deficits are so great but I am looking forward to the challenge and am blessed to have such ambitious and courageous young men to work with (i don't have to teach the girls anymore...for now lol).
