With sixteen students and twelve nationalities ranging from French to Turkish, from Mexican to Lebanese, from Belgian to American, from Spanish to Senegalese, from Togolese to Brazilian, and from Korean to Burundian, why wouldn't I love teaching first graders? Well, there's always the bouquet of languages that I love, too.
I'll name a few:
French English Arabic Spanish
Fula Kirundi Korean Turkish
Did I mention that we also
Hear Portuguese and Togolese...
Do you still wonder
Why I love teaching these?

Jane! What a gorgeous bouquet of faces you've got there! I've taught kindergarten and second, but never first. Loved it! I have the bigger guys now, and amazingly, the first grader is still inside each one of them, and it peeks out at me all the time. It's that little gleam that I hope will never go away! (I think I have it too!) Thanks for following my blog. It's great to be able to talk to one another and to make friends outside our classroom walls!
