French Camp

Today was the first day of French Camp. It is only for one week from 9-12:30. But you pack a lunch and eat it there. This is the first time K has packed a lunch for something. She was excited about French Camp last week but as it got closer she got less excited. By this morning she did not want to go. Her friend from preschool did it at the same time so that helped. She at least knew one person. She was nervous during the drop off and she cried after I left. I stood outside the door. We stayed in the music shop for 20 minutes and when I peered through the window, she was fine. When I picked her up she said she liked it and was happy. She said she did not make any new friends though. She was sitting by herself during lunch. Hopefully, she'll enjoy the rest of the week. We all need a break. C was much better having the morning with just me.

We're trying this camp to see about French classes for the school year. This teacher is very good at teaching language (so I've heard from numerous parents). I'd like to continue Spanish but I don't think she is learning much. I'd like to do Japanese or Chinese but I have not found that opportunity yet. Anyway, I'm beginning to think getting semi-fluent in one language is more important than playing and learning basics in the language of choice.
