This morning we met Filomena at the school. She walked us to the market. We were all really excited to see what this market was all about. I bought a few scarves for family members at home and a sweater for myself. After the market we walked back to the school. Today was awesome. We spent our first day in the classroom. Filomena brought me to a third grade classroom. The teacher didn't speak any English, but the students asked me a few questions in English. It is amazing how much they understand English even if they can't speak it. I really enjoyed being at the school. The children are so smart and keep saying "Americano" when we walk by. I am excited to do the post test with the children on Saturday. The fifth graders read the English passage very well. This was a great activity to do and it will really help in the future. I also learned that the in Italy student go to high school for 5 years. The teachers also loop. This means they have the same students Kindergarten through fifth grade.
I thought we ate a lot until we got to the teachers house for dinner. I was expecting a small apartment and was thinking to myself how are we all going to fit? we walked in and this apartment was large and very open. The food was amazing. I am so thankful how sweet and generous all of the teachers have been. They treat us like we are their family. It is amazing how they try so hard to communicate with us. Today, Tuesday I got to spend the morning in an early childhood classroom. I was super excited. I was in one of the teachers that has been with us room. The children were so talkative and kept telling me ingles. I wish I could communicate back with them. For lunch all of the teachers prepared food for us. They all cooked something from home. It was great to sit and talk with all of the teachers. I had a long conversation with Giovanna. She speaks Italian and a little English. She is so sweet. After lunch we met a student from the high school. We are going to all hangout on Thursday she would like to speak with us about school. I took a very long nap today and it was great. We are getting ready for library read aloud tomorrow night!
