Week Two: Monday

Today I reported to the middle school around 9am, and helped Ms. Greenly sort out some papers and worksheets for the students to do. Today was a lighter day for them since they just got back from Washington D.C. and are very tired. It was nice because I got to know the students  a little better and got to talk with them. The highlight of today was that I got to lead one of the classes in a sentence activity called human sentences. They seemed to really like it and think it was fun. It was also fun to direct, I could tell I really had their attention. It was nice to have them listening to me. Other than that, Ms. Greenly loved the project idea that I came up with, and we are going to have them do it next week! All of my hard work over the weekend planning it payed off. It was a relief to know that I had done it right. I hope that the students don't necessarily see it as too much hard work, but I hope they think it is fun and interesting to learn about different people, places, and food in France. I'm excited to help them and share my own personal knowledge of France that I gained from living there. While one of the classes seems a but uninterested and bored, the second class at the middle school is always fully engaged and energetic. They seem like they really want to learn. I'm excited to continue being in their class!
