5th Grade

This last week in school, my class went on a class trip. I did not go, because I am going again with Rotary. While my class was gone, I still had to be in school. Coincidentally, the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th classes were all gone too. I ended up in the 5th grade, and it was an amazing week. On Monday, we went to  a dog training place. We watched various demonstrations of obedience, agility, and a police dog demonstration. It was all very interesting, and I understood quite a bit, but it was a very cold day. I was freezing.
On Tuesday, we just stayed in the classroom. I read, and worked in my German workbook, and wrote in my journal, then went to German course.
On Wednesday, we went to a play. It was about an island, and someone being kidnapped, but I didn't really understand it. I asked one of the kids afterwards, and she didn't understand it either, so that is okay.
Friday, we had breakfast. It was very German and very good. There was a lot of bread, and pretzels, and cake. At the beginning of the week, the kids were afraid to talk to me, bu they had warmed up to me by Friday. I walked into the classroom, and half of them pulled up extra chairs for my to sit next to them. It was really sweet. It was also really good for my German. They didn't speak English, so I had to speak German with them, and I had to explain myself IN GERMAN if I didn't know the word for something. I think I learned a lot this past week.

Now we have a two week break for school, so I get to just lay around and hang out with my friends for two weeks. And of course learn German. It's also really weird for my to say German instead of Deutsch. I have begun mixing my languages together, and my English grammar is struggling. Oh well, I guess that comes with being in Germany, and it is very exciting.
More soon.
