Yesterday we were invited to attend an elementary school with a teacher friend, as he taught these first graders, 2nd, and 3rd grades English.  Last year he taught at a private Catholic school, but this year this school is run by the government.  He wanted the children to hear how English is pronounced properly. So, these kids all got the "Yankee version"! They showed up with winter coats, ear coverings & jackets. (the temperature was about high 60's).
