International Week

So far this week has been a lot of fun for the students of Grange Hall.  On Monday they got to see all of the different languages their teachers studied while in high school and college.  On Tuesday they wore t-shirts with other languages on them.  I was really impressed with the ones the kids made themselves. 

And today we had a scavenger hunt in resource.  All along we've had parents visiting our classes telling us about how they use other languages in their jobs or about the countries they are from.  One parent taught himself Japanese as a child and now runs a successful business as a translator.  Another parent has learned 7 languages in her lifetime and has lived in many different countries. 

I'm looking forward to the rest of this week and what it might bring.
