My Place…

It was the first day of a filipino student in my reading intervention. He is from Surigao. I surely miss the Philippines while talking to this boy and oh man, that accent? I miss it so badly. I hardly talk to filipino kids here that speaks my language. Voyager is a small reading group so everybody noticed his accent and the other kids thinks it’s funny and of course I defended him but seriously I really like talking to this boy, It made me feel like I am in the Philippines. I sure was like him when I was in 3rd Grade too or even maybe after college, working in the school district helps me a lot actually..Well, his regular teacher and I will work together on how to help him, basically from the beginning sounds and vowels because he is unaware of the long vowels sound, as far as I can remember we only use the short vowels there…So that means he will be in my reading class more often…I can’t wait to see this boy everyday……

That’s my day, today!
