MY FIRST DAY! :)

On my first day of internship, I was excited and also anxious about meeting the people with whom I would work and also to meet the children. I was worried for nothing because the two women with whom I worked with were pretty welcoming.
 Regarding the children, the first 15 minutes of the day, they were suspicious of my presence, but after that, they started to ask me a few questions as: ‘’What is your name? ‘’, ‘’What are you doing here?’’ and my favorite one; ‘’Can you play with me?’’. I was really happy to see that they appreciated my presence.
 As as the day went on, I made a few observations. I realized that the children had the ability to sing songs, whether in English as their first language or in French as a new one. I was very surprised, because even I have trouble doing it. In the class I was, there were two children who spoke neither English nor French. I was wondering about how they could integrate well with the class when they were hardly able to communicate with others. I realized that it was hard for them to understand women when they asked them to do something. It is at this point that I realized the importance of doing gestures when we speak because it helps to get the meaning when we speak to someone who does not understand perfectly the same language as ours.
 What I found interesting is that the majority of children who were there came from other countries, and despite the fact that they did not have the same culture; they had almost no trouble communicating together and get along together.
 I am proud to say that while the children learned the words to describe the temperature outside, I also learned a word; foggy. I did not know before that ‘’brumeux’’ in English was that.
 We learn a little every day and this is why I really like the place where I am. I cannot wait to see again my little new friends.
