With these blogs I have specified responses I have to write about. The first one is "What were you unprepared to handle in your assigned classroom and how did you respond? What strategies did you use to figure out what you needed to do?"  Since I went inland with my class in our first week, my experience was a little more different.  The biggest thing I came into was having met my teacher the day before and not have met any of the students.  Getting to know them was the main issue I had with my first week in class.  Since it was a field trip and not a classroom setting, everyone was far more relaxed and were having fun with their friends.  I wanted to try to start talking with the students and get to know them but all of them were speaking creole.  This barrier took me a while to catch up on, but eventually I was able to understand what they were saying.  I wasn't able to start making connections with them until the first night when we were all relaxing.  After spending time with a few of the students some would come and talk to me during the second day which opened up the other students was well.  The second night is when I got to know a lot of the students better.  We had to stay in cabins and my teacher and I stayed in one with six or seven students.  We had fun talking, it helped that the teacher was there, and then we went up for dinner.  It was after dinner when they started playing music and since I had told a couple of students that I danced, they demanded proof.  I started dancing and the students got really excited and started to have fun with me.  I spent the rest of the night talking with students and it continued the next day.  I also met a student that initiated an idea for my service project while I'm down here.  More on that later.
