Continuing with a theme from yesterday's blog post, I wanted to write about how impressed I am with my students this week!
I've noticed that they are starting to use more English with me--without forcing it out of them.
Yesterday, a group of 6th grade girls passed me in the hall and asked, "How are you?"
I told them that I was good and that it was Thursday--almost the weekend.
They replied, "I like the weekend. It's my favorite."
Today, we expanded on this conversation.
Once again, they approached me and asked, "How are you?"
I said that I was doing pretty good and asked them the same question.
To which, they replied, "Fine. It's Friday! Almost the weekend!"
Me: "I know! I'm so excited! Do you sleep in on the weekend? I usually sleep until 11 o'clock."
6th grade student: "No. I wake up at 9 o'clock. Saturday's my favorite day. I don't like Sunday."
Me: "Why?"
6th grade student: "Next day I have school."
I was so pleased to have them speaking to me in English--especially in the hallway where students don't really think about speaking to me in English!
