Elementary School

Hello Everyone!
This morning I got up at 8:30 to get on a bus across town to the elementary school that I help out at every Tuesday at 10:30-12. I basically teach my kids (I have 5th grade!) English with the help of the teacher there. It sucks to get out of my warm comfortable bed on my days off, but once I am done with my class, I feel so good afterwards! Those kids are so adorable and so smart too! My first couple "lessons" were so easy for them. They start learning English right away, so they grow up learning to be bilingual which is pretty cool.
I usually make worksheets for them to fill out/draw on with fill in the blanks and pictures. Today, I drew out a picture on a sheet of different people doing different things and they had to make sentences themselves in the present perfect tense about what is going on. I have to say that I am usually not a perfectionist about the mini sketches that I do for these worksheets, but every time I hand one out, the kids always shower me with "Che bello!" and such in admiration at my ability to sketch little things on a scrap of paper or on the chalkboard. It's pretty cool. I really love that part of my week! Photos to come. I never thought I would have to deal with "permission slips" ever again, but I need to make ones to take photos there. lol.
Thanks for reading!
