Classroom

We are in the 2nd week of teaching English to children 3 years to 12 years old. I have 5 and 6 year olds. Most days I have 13 students. I teach a full day from 8:30 am to 4 pm each day. Students practice speaking conversational English and basic phonics sounds. Most of my students have only a little bit of English even though they can write the alphabet. I have 10 girls and 3 boys. Students also spend part of the morning outside in games. In the afternoon students have special classes and I taught all 60 students basic watercolor the first week. This week I am working with another teacher to teach music and dance to 3 and 4 year olds. Most students are excited to speak English and all parents want their child to learn how to speak fluent English on top of already knowing French and Arabic. The language barrier makes it challenging at times since I do not know French but we have made progress. ;-) This school believes in full immersion instead of using translation to support in the beginning. The investment in these children is very satisfying.
