Friday- Last day in Paris!

Since my second graders are receiving their First Holy Communion on Saturday the day I leave, today we went to the church that they were going to putting it on at. It was right by the Arc de Triomphe! Can I tell you that people in paris drive absolutely insane!!!! The people on the scooters are completely crazy. After church we came back and our teachers took us out to lunch! We walked to some place close to the school. When we got there, the teachers were like, "Would you girls like wine with lunch?" The four of us literally started laughing...but they were serious. It is their culture. So we had wine with our omelets! It was so nice of them to take us to lunch! They are all so sweet and I am really going to miss them.--- SIDE NOTE: In the morning my teacher pulled me aside and told me she broke two teeth by trying a piece of chocolate. (crazy!) Anyways, she asked if I could take over the class at the end of the day because she had to go to the dentist.--- We had show and tell after writing workshop. The students show and tells this week was awesome. One student literally brought a rock and said.."I found this rock today on the playground, I really like it." Then another student said, "Antoine let me borrow this little toy figure, and when i first saw it, I loved it." HAHAHA Show and tell is the best. My teacher ended up leaving for the dentist during it and I had the kids till dismissal. I gave them all hugs and wished them luck at their First Holy Communion. So sad, they were all so good and I just love them. Definitely going to miss them.

After school, we started to pack. Then we had our faculty dinner. Our table was definitely the best. If I haven't mentioned, my teacher is absolutely hysterical! Jennie's teacher made sure that our glasses of wine was full every minute of the night...AKA we all got pretty drunk. Even the teachers which is great! Colleen and I ended up eating DUCK! yes DUCK! and it wasn't bad. It was pretty good actually. Then our teachers told us it was duck glands... EWW. Our dinner lasted 4 hours! It was so fun though. The whole night we were laughing and having fun. I am going to keep in touch with Yolanda (Madame Garnier). She is an amazing teacher and I have honestly learned so much. She helped me face my biggest fears as a teacher and I am so grateful to of had her as a mentor teacher.
