Today I have had the chance to participate in a meeting with all the school teachers and staff. I couldn't really understand much of what was being said, since they obviously speak in Norwegian, but the principal presented me and spoke a little about me in English so that everybody knew me. I was also invited to a dinner on Thursday night with the other teachers (unfortunately I couldn't make it this time - I have Norwegian language classes every Monday and Thursday).
It was a good day. We have had English, Norwegian, Math and Arts classes. I am starting to feel more comfortable to help them with the exercises as well as other things. The children seem to be happy about my presence and I love theirs.
I have memorized their names and faces so it is much easier to know who is missing and to call if/when I have to.
I am loving this experience, it's been awesome to be able to learn so much.
The whole city is beautiful and there are lots of lush-green parks everywhere! :)

This is meant to be the diary of my Comenius assistanship (EU Lifelong Learning Programme) in Oslo, Norway. I'll be working in a primary school as an assistant teacher from 18 August 2009 to 24 May 2010 and therefore thought a diary will help me keep track of things happening during this time.
