Ca y est!

Well, survived my first days of classes still intact. Teaching is exhausting! I have 8 classes, with 3 different levels. The kids are pretty cute, and for the most part, well-behaved. There's only a couple classes where the kids talked and whispered and moved around, but luckily, those are the classes where the teachers are very involved in disciplining the kids.

I have tomorrow off, which means I can lesson plan for the next couple of days. If you have any helpful hints for fun games to learn basic English, pass them on!


Also, this past weekend, the other assistant and I went to Paris! It was fabulous, of course. We spent most of the time in and around Montmartre, which is by far my favorite part of Paris. There's so many good restaurants, bakeries and things to do. It was the Fete des Vendanges, which is a throwback to when Montmartre was a big vineyard and wine-making area. It was a really cool street fair with different booths for the many wine regions of France as well as traditional foods from those regions. There was also a parade and fireworks! It was fun to see the city so alive and full of people.
