Am I Teaching English or Learning French???

That is the question I ask myself everyday I teach. The kids couldn’t wrap their heads around that fact that I don’t speak French. :) So I learned colors, numbers, basic sentence structure, and many random other things in French. I guess total immersion can sometimes works both ways.

My first week of teaching I taught “Baby Club.” I thought this sounded like a TON of fun. But then I was told it would be 12 kids ranging in both age (3 to 5 years old) and level. Did I mention I taught 6 to 7 hours straight! Lets just say that I have a new and HUGE amount of RESPECT for my mother. She did 7 kids under the age of 8 or 9. She seriously must be superwomen! With that being we still had fun during the week. I had three Asian kids, Riki (Japanese), Selyna (Chinese), and Yerin (Korean). seriously adorable kids!

The kids favorite activity was reading The Hungry Caterpillar and then having a food scavenger hunt. They were stinkin' cute caterpillars.
The school puts on show for parents the last day of class. However, I didn’t find out about this until thrusday. It's a good thing we sang songs everyday. So we sang Hello song.

The second week was much easier! They had trouble with the Baby Club teacher and I ended up gaining two students, including my favorite, YERIN! Combine that with the two that added and I had 12 students in the morning and 13 in the afternoon. Ranging from 3.5 years old to 12 years old. Luckily the youngest students had a high understanding of English. We ended up learning a lot of games and doing a lot of competitions. However, their favorites were making Fruit Salad (Yummy Yummy), Don’t Eat Pete and the Easter egg hunt. Funny all the favorite activities involved food. For our Friday show, we preformed the 3 little pigs. They did great and we had fun. One more week of teaching. I’ll let you know how it goes.
