First Day of Classes

Today was the first day of classes, woohoo!!!!!
I love the students, all of them were really good today. I hear some of them get worse as the week goes on =)
I have each class just once a week for 80 minutes, different! Struggling to learn names! Especially when they are like Loongoa, and Wheevsha, and things like that =) I will have year 7 and year 8, which is 10 year olds to 13 year olds.

When we first got to the school, we saw that our window was broken into, and there was a board over it.....
There was glass all over the instrument room, and one guitar stolen. Si, uno guitaro.
So, that was my welcome to Tamaki Intermediate.

Its going to be alot of fun teaching ukulele, and choir.  I also have guitar, drama, and computers.
Most of the kids have a New Zealand accent, there are some with a Moari/NZ, British, Israili, African, or Somoan accents. The New Zealand accents sound so proper, and I must admit it is so cute hearing in a little voice. (We'll see how I feel about that later)

  1. I teach a lot of British tykes (2nd-5th), and I love hearing their accents too. I just want to ask one to say, "Charlie bit me!"
