Yes.. I am a cafeteria lady.

Hey all,
I am getting settled into working and thought I would share a typical day with you. Luckily some of my students, especially my home room class speak a little bit of english which sure helps. I usually arrive at school around 9:30am and greet my 4-6 year old kids off the bus. I help them change then serve them a snack for breakfast, which typically consist of some milk and bread. I then have class from 10-12 in 40 minute sections. I teach math, science and english. Try teaching math to kids in a language not their own.. it is fun to say the least. Then "Luis the lunch lady" springs into action and serves them lunch. I then eat with them, or atleast eat what I can. Lunch is very "interesting" (posted some pics, don't ask me what it is.. the only thing for sure I know is "rice") Then I have class from 1-3, and load them up on the bus. Finally I have older kids (1st -3 rd) grade in the afternoon from 3-5. Not too bad a schedule, but anyone that works with kids knows how they suck the energy out of you like tiny little energy sucking vampires. They are tons of fun though and continually make me smile... for now........

Kids, Class and Lunch
