Parents' Night

Yesterday night we had parents’ night here at school. The headmasters gave a speech explaining policies such as attendance and buying books to the entire group of parents and after they came up to our room to hear the information that our teachers had to share with them about the goals for their children and their class specifically. I was a bit nervous about how I would be received by the parents, but they were all happy to meet me, and also to share with me the nice things that the students had to say about my contributions to the class. These conversations with the parents were very encouraging to me as they gave me a boost of confidence in my ability to communicate successfully with my Castillano, as well as feeling welcomed to the school by both the students and parents.
