It's Almost Friday

I can't believe that Friday's almost here, and my classes are still just the best thing ever in life. They are attentive, willing to learn, and talkative (but in a good way--it means they're "engaged"). I am speaking completely in French to my 3rd year students, and it is amazing that they are understanding me...I am the only French teacher that they've had, and so it means I have done something right. It's amazing that I leave each day with a smile on my face bigger than the Kool-Aid man. I just start cheesin'! It's pretty tiring getting up so early again, but it's been worth it this week.

I think that is so awesome that you speak to your French three students only in French. My Spanish teacher in high school definitely didn't do that. That will help them out so much in college. When I taught English in ITaly we spoke only in English from day one (for beginning English) and it can work. Students pick up the language so much more quickly that way.

I’ve been out of school for a long time but French was one of my favorite subjects.
