We had 12 children at school. School is in the church
building. Everyone arrived and was talking at their tables excited to see each
other again and start a new school year. We started the day by praying and
singing songs to God. We split up the younger kids from the older ones. Carline
and I took the four younger ones. We sang “Good Morning, How are you? Very well
thank you, and you?” in French and English. Then we practiced shaking hands and
using the phrase in a conversation. Carline sang some other songs with them as
well.
After eating and recess all the kids come to one table and I
taught them colors in English. There was a song in one of the books Carline has
and she gave me legos to point to and ask what color each one was. The kids
seemed to be understanding and not just repeating after me. We also sang the
Good Morning song with the older kids and added, “What is your name? My name is…”
and everyone went around the table to introduce themselves. The kids learned
other things today from the other teachers; they aren’t just learning English. Overall
it was a great first day of school!
