Here's a quick update on what I've been doing with my class. Spring is our general theme for the month. We've covered flowers, bees, butterflies and caterpillars, and frogs. What I love (but will hate come June when I'm still in school) about May in France is the amount of holidays we have. I haven't had a full week of school since the end of April. Granted next week the rude awakening will come, but who cannot love a being able to sleep in and bum around in pajamas on a Tuesday? I feel like I should be leaving for summer vacation any day now. That being said, I've had a ton of students missing which has gotten to be quite frustrating in terms of the upcoming evaluations.
We have our school show coming up in June which should be quite interesting. My class LOVES to sing and jump around during circle time in the classroom but I have that funny gut feeling that come mid-June they will become very very shy about a song they ask to sing 5 times over.

Fun quotes: "Katie, est-ce que je peux aller downstairs?"
One of the
clothespin bees that we made fell down in the middle of circle time: "LOOK, IT'S FLYING!"
"Maitresse, j'aime bien quand tu te maquilles./Teacher, I like when you wear makeup."
While my class may be all fine and dandy, the administration side of things has been nothing but stressful and exhausting. To be explained in the next post if anything gets resolved in the next week. If it doesn't, it unfortunately looks like this American might have to leave the country of
fou de fa fa, grèves, and all things delicious. So cross those fingers that something may work out so you still have something ridiculous to read once in a blue moon :)
