How do I teach school?

Is it anything like writing a contact report, a creative brief or arguing with clients?

So today was supposed to be my first day as a teaching assistant for the English class in Samara´s elementary school. I arrived at the school and the teacher never showed up. Apparently she is on bedrest, but by the way people are talking about it it sounds like she is possibly playing hooky. Starting tomorrow I am going to be the head teacher in English classes for grades 1-6 until she returns...
The school asked for lesson plans which I have been working on today (when I wasn´t at the beach, of course!!). The plans consist of games that I have invented as well as ¨head shoulders knees and toes¨ and singing the ABCs. My lesson plans are hand written on scraps of paper and in English, so I´m not sure what they are going to do with them.
If anyone has any ideas about how to teach school, send them my way!
Other interesting news in the jungle is that my friend Beth came to visit for 5 days. We saw some waterfalls, beaches and had monkeys throw mangos at our cabin all night long.
