Hallo Ricardo!

Just finished the first full day with all of my students, levels 1-4. I think I 
lost about 10lbs in sweat from all of the circle activities we did, I think Noe 
probably did too. I went well, very well. Only in 6th period, a first year 
class, did I have to continually remind them: "Englisch verboten!" Now the real 
challenge is sustaining things and keeping it fresh and interesting.

Hello Everyone,

My first day is complete! Granted, I didn't have Spanish 1 yet, but let me tell 
you that my Spanish 3 students ROCKED today! It is a beautiful thing when you 
don't have to push much for "solo español"! Granted, I did a little tiny bit, 
but for the most part, the students were staying in Spanish and communicating 
near the level at which they last tested. It is a fabulous day, though I am 
utterly exhausted.
