Another experience

First impressions

Children’s World Academy is a very dynamic, welcoming and friendly place where it is very educational to work there. It is a professional work place where the children and the workers are kind and happy to meet you. 

First day!

In general on a first day of an internship I don’t talk much and I observe a lot but because I needed to do my blog tonight, I tried to talk as much as I could. Also, today was the school evaluation day so teachers, educators and all the others employees were very busy and they framed me less during this first a little stressful day. Even the children asked me if I was an evaluator. During lunch, it’s difficult to talk because we don’t have much time. I helped a grade four educator than the children played soccer in the gym before they went to the cafeteria to eat. In the afternoon, I went to help students in grade four to do their homework. I helped in math and in French. Math was quite easy because it was basic questions. French was more challenging than I thought even if it was basic words. I needed to find the right translation and it was really difficult. After they finished their homework, the children went outside to play different games. Even if it was a stressful day for everybody, they were all welcoming and friendly. I was also surprised that I understand 100% of children’s English. I didn't see differences between my language and my culture and theirs yet.

Language structure

In three hours, I didn't have a lot of time to learn new words but I discovered:

[  A referee (un arbitre) (During lunch time, a student from grade six came to be the referee during the soccer game.)

Misunderstanding

I didn't have big misunderstanding like I had on the phone with my host but the secretary asked me to directly go to the daycare office. Than the daycare coordinator told me to take a visitor badge at the secretary office. It was an intern misunderstanding and what I could learn about it is that we need to communicate so everything would be clear as water.

At the end of the day, a child put on my nails 3D sparkles stickers. 
It finish my day with a big smile because I love sparkles!
