Post #2

Over the past two weeks at Escuela Vieau I still haven’t really seen a change in my relationship with the staff but I feel like I have really started to connect with the kids. A lot of them like to approach me and talk to me as much as possible. For example, they like when I teach them common French words and phrases and they teach me some Spanish. However the woman I work with never allows them to talk but rather makes them do their work in silence and when she does speak it is always in Spanish even though she knows I can’t speak any and does not ever tell me what she is doing or what she needs help with. The kids have actually told me that they don’t like her and really like when I come. It makes me feel good that they like when I am there but I don’t feel comfortable working with someone who won’t talk to me. My goal is to still try and get her to talk and be more open with me.
