Hello kindies. I just wanted to send you a little message about a place we went to in Haiti. One of our translators lives in Duplan and went to this school that is in the picture below. A translator is someone who is able to change one language into another. For instance, if someone spoke to you in French he could tell you in English what they said. His name is Lemaire, and he speaks Haitian Creole, French, English and Spanish.
Mrs. Rueger meets you at the flagpole before school, but these students sit on the benches outside their classrooms.
This is the kindergarten room. The sign says welcome to the butterfly classroom (loosely translated). Papillons=Butterfly in french. I learned that because our translator says i am like a papillon that will never land...always moving around. In Haiti the kids speak Creole and French.
In their classroom they have a board just like Mrs. Rueger's with the names of all the students.
They also have a list of class rules that includes listening when someone is speaking. Pretty basic. Just like Mrs. Rueger expects of you guys.
This is a poster they have that helps the students learn their colors.
And a table of vowels. a e i o u.
I just wanted you to know that even though you are miles away from Haiti, you really have so many similarities to the kids here. And even though some learn their lessons in French and some in English...we all have to learn the same lessons no matter where we live.
