On my birthday I spent the morning observing the 4 yr olds class. The group lessons included prepositions (in front of, behind, etc.) and the fruit of the week: the "fig-banana" (as distinguished from "banana", which is "plantain"). I was enjoying watching the children during class and patiently waiting during a transition when in walked the entire class of 3 yr olds followed by the 5 yr olds, each holding a drawing they had made. I suddenly realized that they were all being lined up to face me, and that I was about to enjoy a very special birthday celebration. After singing "Happy Birthday" in French, then English, each of the six preschool teachers gave me a handmade card and a kiss on both cheeks. Then I received a kiss and a crayon drawing of a flower from each of about 45 5 yr olds! (58 children are enrolled in the K-class)
What a lovely day!!!!
