My Environment

The kids are 13-14 years old going to 8th and 9th grade. There are 6 girls and 2 boys. They all attend the middle school where Ana works and most live in the community in which the school is located. Ana is amazing. She works so hard for these kids and their school. She has basically given me creative control of the program. She has been great as an adviser and has given me great ideas as well. Ana introduced me to an English teacher at the school who offered to help

and talk with me if i needed it.

I am working at the community library, which is about a minute from the school. The people there are great and they help me with things I need for the class. There are also some computers there that I am able to use for the class which have been very useful.

Most of the lessons I came up with myself. Ana had suggested doing a different theme each week, so I went of of that and started thinking about activities related to those subjects that would be interesting. Some lessons like the Nouns and Verbs, and Sentence Structure I found online. After the first activity we did I realized that the kids really needed help with sentences and verbs, so i looked online for something that would help since I haven't taught any of this before.
