well, no where to go but up....

First day actually at an elementary school today. The tour was fine. It's an interesting school. There's a specialized athletics programme, and even one specifically for basketball. The floor of the gym was actually done by the guys who did the floors for the a lot of the US college teams. There's also a weight room, and staff that are certified as personal trainers. My first thought, I wish my Omonogawa boys could be here, they would love it. I could just imagine if Nobu and Mr. K were here, they would be in heaven.
The class I watched was a review class, probably so my mentor teacher (MT) could go through stuff with me. It was a bit strange being in class today, different yet oddly familiar. The smartboard was definitely new. And apparently, I write "7" the same way as my MT, where we cross them. So, once the kids started working, I just started to go up and down, the way I normally do. They're doing math, and of course, one kid asks me to help with one of the questions. For the life of me, my brain just couldn't process the the darn thing. And I could tell the kid was not impressed...at least I got the other questions. Not even my first day, and I've already had a brain fart.
