Transition

Have you ever learned a second language? These boys are in the beginning
stages of learning English. It's a challenge when your also studying Arabic
in the afternoons. Your "s" tend to be backwards and letter recognition has
a new layer of complexity but they are trying their very best to keep up.
Normally they would be in a Transition classroom, full of older students who
are also learning English for the first time but because we are short on
teachers they are enrolled in our Pre-Nursery class, full of 4 and 5 yr
olds. So I've been pulling out a group of boys each morning to work on
numbers, colors, and letters. They are so much fun. Despite what you may see
here they really do smile! Be praying for these boys that they would love
learning and coming to school and be praying for Hope Academy as we continue
our search for more teachers.
