The only issue with that theory at a school like ours is the older ones' don't necessarily have a better command of English than our younger ones. We're usually the only place where they are even speaking English, so grasping it takes so much longer, and in some cases depending on when the older ones started school, the younger ones may even have a better grasp as they get the foundations with us.

It's not so much because they will feel laughed at, but more because a laugh is often construed as a signal that I want them to do it again and again and again and a hundred more times until it is just annoying. :) <br />We always had only Thursday and Friday off, even when I was in school, but a lot of districts have started taking a week off in October as a "fall break". Our fall break is just tacked on to the two days off at Thanksgiving. It's been a long a haul since early August, so it is much needed and is taking FOREVER to get here.Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-15085471738836056732015-11-19T11:59:59.280-08:002015-11-19T11:59:59.280-08:00I'm sitting here smiling at that whole exchang...I'm sitting here smiling at that whole exchange. I'm sure there are times you have to try hard not to laugh since they'd think you were laughing "at" them.<br /><br />Y'all have all next week out? I'm thinking they still have to go Monday and Tuesday around here. Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
