1. Shortened classes
2. Presentation at 12:30 of singing and speeches by some of the students and teachers
3. Free lunch
4. Chatting with my colleagues, in Bulgarian of course which actually seemed to go well.
Plus, my counterpart was ill today so it was my first day solo (though another English teacher did come in case student behavior became out of control). I had first hour so I left my apartment at 6:40 to get to school by 7:15. With 5A we reviewed day, month, and food vocabulary and then played a fun game (we had 2 hours today). With 12 we looked at TIME magazines and chatted. With 6A we reviewed food and school vocab. During the 6A class hour (homeroom) we talked about opinions and then I read "Why war is never a good idea" by Alice Walker to them. They seemed to really like the book. There isn't a lot of picture books here for children and I don't think they are read to very often. It was a pretty good day though I'll be excited for my counterpart to get back so I can start doing speaking tests with all the kids as I had planned to today.
And here are some photos from last weekend when I visited another volunteer:
