Practice Teaching - Valentine's Day


Why do we come all of the way to Thailand to teach? This is why! What an absolute delight to work with these 7th grade students. They are anxious and happy to learn English from a "native speaker".


This is the host country teacher and she is G-R-E-A-T! We team teach. There are three of us. This is a perfect number that allows each of us to give individual attention to the students. And they blossom before our eyes.


Each group of students would come to us one at a time and request a supply in English. Scissors, glue, pink paper, red paper and so on. And they actually enjoyed learning these new words in English


As you can see from this photo each student pays rapt attention to their work.


Here is our whole group. On the left is Tucker. He is practice teaching in the same school we are. Kim is in the middle. She is the role model I am trying to emulate. What a teacher! Great ideas and the students love her.
