The First Days of School

It is officially back to school! The first day is always the best - the kids are fresh and so am I. We are excited to start the year and jump in to new learning. This year, I wanted to go with the idea that I'm a guide on an adventure of learning Spanish and everything associated with it. After two years, I think I've finally got this whole elementary thing down and my welcome letter is finally cute!

The first day of class can be extremely scary for my 3rd graders, as they've never taken Spanish before. From the moment they walk into class, we are Spanish only. In the past, most of the class was spent talking over the "huh" and "what is she saying?" and other minor freak outs. This year, though, they were right with me. It was incredible! At the end of class, when I asked them how the y felt, many said they were nervous, but were so excited to be in Spanish. :)

I can't believe this is the 3rd year of our program. I'm excited for this year to see where my 5th graders are and will end up and see how the language needs change as they gain more and more experience.
