Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Learning English doesn't have to be grammar exercises and boring vocabulary lists. Let's have fun learning English and studying world geography.

In this ongoing class, students will learn and practice English by reading about and discussing world geography including continents, countries, mountain ranges, rivers, volcanoes, forests, deserts, oceans, and natural landmarks. 

Students will read aloud, listen to direct instruction, play games, and do creative projects about world geography. 

Students will interact with one another and with me throughout each session. Learners will be able to ask questions, answer questions, share previous knowledge, and have fun with one another while learning about the geography of the world. 

I will interact with students throughout while guiding them through the read aloud and asking them questions and providing instructions for the creative activity. My goal is INTERACTION to promote active learning.
