Started off by wearing jeans, flannel shirt, cowboy boots, and my new H&M coat, ah, I felt so country and so at home! I've been dying to wear jeans but today was the first cold day we had and I LOVED it, it was fun to finally feel the season change.
I got to school and greeted all my students (:
Then we split up into groups and headed out for our field trip!
I held hands with Axel, my autistic buddy who I work with individually each day, and Simon, who wore the cutest scarf and jacket today! (:
We skipped, and kicked up leaves.
This weekend is the Bon gout d'aquitaine, the area's big farmer's market! We went to a place at the market where the kids learned how to make bread, and the different kinds of bread and all.
- While we waited for the Baker to be ready for the presentation, we practiced our song, "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes" and learned how to count to 20 in English. -
Bread is a BIG DEAL in France. They are very strict about not wasting bread and "if you are not going to eat it, you give it to the ducks so that it returns back to nature."
And of course, we got to taste it, it was fantastic! (:
Then we walked back to school and continued as normal!
At lunch I went for a walk after I finished eating, (they have and hour and a half for lunch here) and went back to the market and walked around, it was really fun! I love seeing so many things on display. While on my way back to school I heard English and my ears perked up, ah, the sweet sound of English! (:
It was a hippie-ish looking couple, dreads, dig it, and I asked where they were from. She was from Scotland, her husband from France, and they live in Greece. Talk about random! But it was fantastic to speak English with someone! She was really nice! (:
I went back to school and we went through our normal activities, math, writing, reading.
Recess! I played... "hide-behind-the-tree-then-run-out-and-tickle-Axel" haha, it was fun, and I loved that he smiled so bright!
After working some more, he was totally finished for the day and didn't want to do anything else, so we colored frogs, and I wrote him a note telling him how smart and nice he was, he kissed it and put it in his back pack (:
I'm going to miss my class when I leave.
Then I ate cake.
Then I drank chocolate milk.
and ate more cake.
OH FRANCE.
Then I came home and did some organization in my suitcase (I can't wait until I get to pack!)
TRIED to make a video for Kalli's birthday, but it didn't work, stink! So I'll have to do it tomorrow. But in the process, I discovered that I remembered the password to my old Photobucket account, and found all my pictures from like 6th grade-sophomore year, I loved seeing picture I thought I didn't have anymore! (:
Then we ate dinner and laughed about the fact that I can NOT pronounce the word "grenouille" Frog (:
Tomorrow is my last Saturday, we're going back to the market (yes!) and then going out to dinner at a restaurant that does traditional french cuisine!
5 days until I get to pack!! (:
6 days until I see my best friend in Denmark!
16 days until I hug my parents!
17 days until I have life conversations with Derrick at Jump off Joe!
17 days until I see my beloved Brenna, Dani, Joshy, etc! and get my job back! YES! (:
