La Vie d'une Monitrice




A lot has happenned since my last post. I spent two weeks working up at Bretaye, teaching group classes from 10 to 12 and then private lessons from 12 to 5. I taught people ages 3 to 100 (roughly speaking). I had a variety of learning experiences; kids peeing in their pants, 12 kids falling on top of each other on the button lift, kids being injured (and faking injury).... Besides these minor incidents I also had some adorable kids and I am absolutely enjoying my time here! My last week I have spent at the Club Med again with a group of 11 kids (ages 4 to 10) with whom I skied and was responsable for all day.
