Today our students got to experience a typical Wednesday at a French school, which means only morning classes! The English teacher that Mr. Garcia and I are staying with actually doesn't teach any classes on Wednesdays, her 5th grade daughter doesn't have school either, and her daughter in 7th grade unfortunately broke her knee cap in dance class on Monday, so we were all able to spend the rainy day at home working and playing games.
One great thing about being in Vire for this exchange is how small the community is. Although our group only constitutes 17 people in a population of more than 13,000, every time we've gone into town we've seen at least one Webb student out and about with their French family.
Tomorrow Madame Smith and I will be interviewed by a journalist for the local newspaper about our trip to Vire, and the students will be spend their last day at school with their French correspondent.
(By the way, if you're wondering why I'm the one writing most of these posts, rest assured it's because our students are doing what we asked of them--limiting their computer time in order to spend quality time with their families and make the most of their experience!)
