GETTIN' SKOOLED

It is September now and school has started. The kids are great and I am so amazed at the level of English my students have. There is a huge difference between the K2 (4-5 yrs) and K3(5-6 yrs) kids. K3 kids are speaking in full sentences and fully understand me. But what is more astonishing is they can speak in at least 3 languages. The most common language in Hong Kong is Cantonese so that's the language the children speak at home and in the playground. They are instructed in English and Mandarin in school. My classes are huge by Canadian standards with 30 kids but there is always 3 adults in the class so it's managable ---> so far.
