Why do I hate Mondays? Why? I could tell that I was in a cranky mood when I woke up this morning, so it didn't surprise me that I wasn't too keen on taking a lot of talking in my class from my students. 1-1 was their usual wonderful selves (take the sarcasm and run with it), and just to keep me on my toes, 1-3 decided to make 1-1 seem like they were off of their game today.
I don't have a lot of time to spend with the first grade teachers on Mondays, because I'm always preparing for the orphanage after school. I spent about an hour down there just hanging out and cutting out my new month signs.
My host mom picked me up from school and took me to the orphanage. I love walking up to the building and having little kids wave at me from the bay-esqe window! I started with asking how they were today. LOL! That was fun! These kids know NO English (and apparently neither do I considering I originally typed "no NO)! I'm working on that with them obviously!^^
We learned the letter C and filled in that page of our mini books, then cut out and made color turkeys (their feathers were all different colors), then I read them the ChickaChickaBoomBoom book, because they love it so much. They're catching onto the days song I'm teaching them, too! I'm super excited when I come back and they actually remember something that I taught them the previous week!
The girl that sits in with me to help translate drove me home afterward. She is only 22 and super nice! She is a college student. We couldn't talk much, because of the language barrier, but we had a small conversation.
I mostly just relaxed when I got home and finished up a workshop for my project in January.
