L’ultima lezione

Today was la sesta e l’ultima lezione dei Primi Passi “Mommy and Me” summer class. It has been so rewarding watching these young children grow over the past six weeks. After playing the same songs over and over and interacting with the babies, I have noticed that they have indeed learned a great deal. Not only have they been exposed to the Italian language, but they have learned to play and share with one another, handle the toys and puppets appropriately, and be a part of a class. For me, just seeing the smiles on their faces as we play and sing songs in Italian is enough to prove that they are getting something out the class. Their enthusiasm is wonderful and hopefully will last should they choose to continue to learn Italian.

Today one of the children who is almost three years old requested to hear “Giro Giro Tondo”, the Italian version of Ring Around The Rosie. Getting musical requests from the children themselves is very exciting! They have been a great group of children and it was sad to have to say goodbye to them. Perhaps next summer ci incontriamo di nuovo. I would like to see if any or all of them have continued taking Italian classes throughout the year and have learned more!

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful rest of the summer!

Buon estate e tante belle cose!
