little british accents

I had my first day of work last Friday at an adorable little school called Katherine's Primary. I taught the reception class, which in the states would be the same as pre-k. The kids were either 4 or 5. I can't even begin to describe how cute they were with their little uniforms and british accents!

It really couldn't have gone any smoother than it did. I had an assistant in the morning, an hour and 15 minute lunch break (can you believe that?!) and an assistant in the afternoon. I had one child in the class with special needs. He hadn't been diagnosed yet but it was clear that he was mentally not on a 4 or 5 year old level. He was almost like a baby. He was SO sweet though - gave me lots of hugs and held my hand almost all day!

I'm really looking forward to teaching another few days this week. With my visa, I am only able to work a total of 20 hours a week. But between that and my course at university, I know I will be really busy!

Also, just want to say hi to my family and I miss you guys lots! I'm especially missing all the fun in Disney World. Hope you guys are having a blast! :)

Lots of love,
Kristen
