First Day of School

Posted on August 25, 2009 by Jill

Today we had our first day of school.

This morning we had opening ceremonies. The seniors marched in carrying flags representing their home countries, faculty and students spoke and prepared us for the year ahead.

During lunch, the other instrumental music teacher (Katie Roberts) and I went to the nursing home next to BFA and set up times for us to bring students over to perform. Amazingly enough, we did this all in German!

In the afternoon, the students went to each class for 7 minutes to find the room and meet the teacher. I now have 3 students in orchestra, but there are many more who would like to get in if the scheduling can be worked out. I am excited that the students are finally here!

Tomorrow will be our first full day of school.

    How exciting! It must be so great to see and interact with the actual students, after much planning and anticipating! I’m similarly looking forward to my first day of classes and choir in 2 and a half weeks.
