ÖĞRETMENİM

Translation: teacher! I heard this about 2 million times today! Yes, it was my first day as a fully certified teacher and all I can really say is...I need a nap. I didn't realize how physically expressive you have to be when you are trying to communicate with 4 year-olds who don't speak your language! It was an exhausting day but I feel like I got very lucky with my students so far. Nobody really cried much and for the must part they listened to directions. They are all very smart and knew so much more than I thought they would. I have one little friend who is fluent in both Turkish and English, so he was a big help. I forgot how much I love all of the little hugs and holding the little hands! I've missed it! Well, like I said, nap time!

Here's a picture of my little Koala Bears!
