Primer dia en colegio Frances de mi hija menor

El primer día de Lorena en un colegio Francés, estaba asustada y emocionada a la vez, no sabia hablar Frances y como todo es nuevo la pobre saco muchas fuerzas.

La ventaja es que tienen adaptacion o programa de Bienvenida en todos los colegios Francofonos y todas las provincias de Canada me parece tambien.

No es que repitan los cursos, se pueden quedar hasta un aproximado de 2 anos y de ahi entran a colegio normal, en el programa de bienvenida van mas lento desde el abecedario, vocales, numeros, dias de la semana, colores, meses del ano, etc. y solo les hablan en Frances, si no lo entienden las profesoras tienen paciencia y los ninos se sienten libres de preguntar.

Si se pueden demorar un poco mas pero depende de cada nino, si es un proceso largo para nosotros, ellos tambien tienen su tiempo, eso si van a avanzar mas que nosotros por mas que sea lento.

Cuando llegamos a dejarla al colegio nos dieron un tour por los salones y nos invitaron a pasar, ahi estan las fotitos.

El colegio bien limpio no hay forma de quejarse, banos, lockers con nombres de cada nino, super ordenado.

El colegio es pagado por el gobierno cuando eres estudiante internacional o residente o estas en algunos de los programas donde lo permiten, pero no con todos los cursos, por ejemplo si vienes a estudiar musica, idiomas NO, asi lo pagas tu, no el gobierno (al menos que hayan cambiado las leyes porque hasta donde postule estaba asi).

Eso si, tu cubres los utiles, cuadernos, etc. Pero la ventaja de aca es que si puedes reciclar del ano anterior, te alientan a eso, y lo que gastas en lista no es mucho entre $50 y 70 dolares Cad.

Lorena llegó feliz del colegio, a decirme que la profesora es paciente y le habla en Frances y siempre sonrie. No le costo adaptarse algo timida al principio pero apenas hizo amigas y amigos puedo decir que hoy en dia adora su colegio, sus amigos, tiene amigos, de Peru, Colombia, Korea, China, Argentina y mas paises de varias partes del mundo.

Por algo dicen que es multicultural, ella se despierta con todo el animo para ver a sus amigos y aprender, no es que sea la numero uno pero se esfuerza, eso si tienen dictado todas las semanas y te mandan un rol porque cada cierto tiempo tienen examenes.

Los colegios son por zonas, vas al distrito escolar que te corresponde y te ponen lo mas cerca posible a tu casa.

Lorena's first day at a French school, she was scared and excited at the same time, she didn't know how to speak French and since everything is new, the poor thing gained a lot of strength.

The advantage is that they have an adaptation or Welcome program in all Francophone schools and all the provinces of Canada, it seems to me too.

It is not that they repeat the courses, they can stay up to approximately 2 years and from there they enter a normal school, in the welcome program they go slower from the alphabet, vowels, numbers, days of the week, colors, months of the year , etc. and they only speak to them in French, if they don't understand it the teachers are patient and the children feel free to ask.

Yes, they can take a little longer but it depends on each child, if it is a long process for us, they also have their time, that is if they are going to advance more than us even if it is slow.

When we arrived to drop her off at school they gave us a tour of the classrooms and invited us to come in, there are the photos.

The school is very clean, there is no way to complain, bathrooms, lockers with names of each child, super tidy.

The school is paid by the government when you are an international student, but not with all the courses, for example if you come to study music, NO languages, that's how you pay it, not the government (unless the laws have changed because as far as you apply was like this).

Of course, you cover the supplies, notebooks, etc. But the advantage here is that if you can recycle from the previous year, they encourage you to do so, and what you spend on the list is not much between $50 and 70 dollars Cad.

Lorena came home from school happy, to tell me that the teacher is patient and speaks to her in French and always smiles. It was not difficult for her to adapt, somewhat shy at first, but as soon as she made friends, I can say that today she loves her school, her friends, she has friends from Peru, Colombia, Korea, China, Argentina and more countries from various parts of the world.

They say she is multicultural for a reason, she wakes up with all the energy to see her friends and learn, it is not that she is number one but she makes an effort, that is if they have dictation every week and they send you a role because every so often they have exams.

The schools are zoned, you go to the school district that corresponds to you and they put you as close as possible to your home.
