First lesson in my life.

Hello there. I think I like what happened to you when you gave your first lesson to your students. I think it's really like that. You would feel uneasy at first but when you were able to see your students already, you would become at ease. Maybe this time, you were already able to cope up with your classroom environment. It's also so good that you could really appreciate your students. Just enjoy teaching them. If you do so, they would also enjoy studying with you. You can do that. Keep it up and Happy myLotting. :)

I understand what you feel because that is also the same feeling I feel before during my first day. I know it's just at the beginning.But as time passes by that feeling of nervousness and akwardness will gone away.

Hi, Even after so many years, even I can't forget my first day in my class room among 45 students! I was prerpared to teach geography and gone to the class room with much confidence and a little bit of scare. As it was my fist attempt, I also was nevrous and as expected some of the boys were played a trick. The boy asked me the height of Mount Himalayas and he asked me how we will take the measurement and who did it? Oh, it is a pain and I was not knowing any of questions to be answered. I explained the same the way I though and it was right also. However, I got puzzled for few seconds and one of the boy stood up and asked me, Sir, do you want a glass of water! Oh no! I really done down, but what to do, I should not express it. Any way, they are grown up students aged 15-17 and really could have read my mind. Anyway, I managed to handle the situation, but as there were 20-25 girl students I got really jammed and I changed the topic with a trick of movement and managed the period. Oh! After few days, the boys came to the staff room and said sorry for it and I said that it is ok, I need an experience for my whole life to remember, and yes, even after 25 years also, I still remember the whole 1 hr. period and the studetn Tomy, my friends brother. Now he is the US and working as a senior manager in a leading computer software firm.

Congratulation!! I admir teachers! Coz they can get along with the students who are lovely and young. And I think teachers' state of mind can be younger than others. I have a good friend who is also a teacher in senior high school. Come on! Hope you have nice time with your school kids.
