Today was brief, eventful, and fabulous!  Finally having kids in the classroom made everything come to life and seem completely real! 

One thing I learned today was to work on lesson pacing.  I planned a powerpoint to introduce myself to the class in Spanish.  Unlike I originally thought, 6 slides was clearly not enough.  Apparently, I speak in Spanish just as fast as I do in English.  Who knew?  I think it is a good lesson to learn on Day 1; however, because now I know that I need to over plan in case I fly through something that I think will take me extra time.  Although that I'm sure it will probably happen again, at least now I know firsthand that over planning is better than under planning!
