At first I was kind of nervous to have a class of 4th and 5th graders because I understand high schoolers and like teaching them. Also, these kids are fluent and I'm not. But I ended up having a great time with the students. There was an odd balance of me knowing more Spanish than them in some senses and them knowing more Spanish than me in others. Also, they proved to be very smart, hard-working, and responsible students-- characteristics that I thought I'd only see in high schoolers before having this class.
