highlights of the day

1. CP class with my 6-y-o's. they just started learning vows and consonants.

there's "so", "sa", "su", "se", "si", "sui"...

an example of the sound "si" in these phrases: sirop, la piscine, six.

the teacher was going over these with the kids.

when they were at "la piscine", the teacher was telling them that on their way home, they'll see a direction sign, that says "la piscine".

one kid yelled out "j'aime la piscine!"

the teacher didn't even look at him, kept a straight face, "moi aussi" and continued on telling other kids how "c" is mute in "piscine".

i just cracked up at that point.

2. during break time.

kids will come to teachers to tell on other kids how they're behaving badly.

2 kids got into a fight, the boy was trying to strangle the girl, not pretty.

then their class teacher came, in the middle of the story.

heard the word "strangle" and looked at the boy, "charming personality, elliot."

she then shut him up and sent him away not wanting to hear any further explanations.

3. my kids got so excited by mr panda, whom i introduced them to today.

thanks to lu, this mr panda is generously given by her.

mr panda got so much attention, when i put it away after class, the kids all said, "goodbye mr panda" without me asking!

4. my naughty 7-y-o's all came to the blackboard after we finished our alphabets today.

"je veux te faire un bisous!" zoe asked.

yes, sure, go ahead.

"moi aussi, moi aussi." the-girl-who-never-shuts-up-or-sits-down-in-class jumped up and down.

then before i could pack my things up and leave, 6 kids were in line to hug and kiss me.

awww, how much i hate them when they're doing random things during class.

and how much i love them when they're just being themselves.
