Traveling to Szeged

So I finished my first week of teaching in Mako. For the most part it has gone well. I did have a little trouble with my lesson yesterday though but I taught the same lesson today and I think I made the necessary changes. Teaching here is very different from teaching in the United States. First of all the students only have a limited knowledge of English, so directions have to be very simple and clear. I am still working on that... Expectations of students are also different. Having only been here two weeks, I think it is going to take all of my time here to figure out what my mentor teacher expects of the students and how I can adapt those expectations while I am teaching. I have one more week of teaching the students in Mako. Next week I will teach them about the days of the week. I plan to read them the Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. We will also learn a song about the days of the week. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to hearing them :)

This afternoon I traveled to Szeged by bus. Later today I will be going into the city with a University student to explore. Tomorrow I will be in Kindergarten classroom for the morning and in the afternoon the 10th grade would like to have tea with me :) I will go into Szeged again with another University student on Friday afternoon. There are a few other things I will be doing but I can't remember. I am pretty busy, but I like it that way. I will only be here for a little while so I want to do as much while I'm here as I can. I will update you on what school is like in Szeged in a day or two!!
