Teachers I Salute You!

Ok so I have been teaching English for Centro Britanico at a little school called "Casa do Mickey" and I have two classes on Monday and Fridays.  My first class is at 10:30 in the morning and I have 9 kids between the ages of 3 and 5... WOW!! It is wayyy more difficult than I ever imagined.  I mean I have kids running around all over the place and Im trying to keep control of them with my broken Portuguese and speaking about 5 words every class in English - I think they helped me with my Portuguese more than I helped them with their English, but anyway my first class was CRAZY to say the least.  One of the kids had to go poop so I had to leave the class for a minute to take the kid to the bathroom... when I came back, all the kids were running around with scissors in their hands and had emptied out all of the containers with crayons in them.  It was like Arnold Swartzeneggar in Kindergarden Cop HAHA!!! It was crazy... My second class at 2 pm luckily only has 4 kids and is much much more calm, but still takes a lot of energy out of me.  So after having taught these kids for 3 weeks now... I can tell you that teaching takes a lot of skill and talent and Leo is fortunate enough to have had great teachers in the past and has great teachers now... Teachers I salute you!!
