Good morning from Kuwait! It’s officially the weekend here and I’ve finished my first week of work with the kids! I have 3 lively groups of kids who rotate hourly between my English class and their Maths and Arabic classes. I must say I was surprised and excited when I learned that Reception classes are capped at 18 kids, after my time in England where most classes topped out at 30 kids, but 18 kids, in a completely ESL environment, keep me on my toes just the same!
Although this isn’t my first year of teaching, it is my first time having my own class and I’m definitely enjoying that. My classes are adorable, even the naughty kids are ridiculously cute and tiny. One of the more rambunctious boys in one of my classes reminds me daily, “Teacher, I love you!” Of course there are challenges inherent in teaching abroad and teaching ESL, but I love a good challenge!
Unfortunately I don’t have any new pictures to share today. My free time this week has been filled with many dips in the pool, watching a ridiculous amount of TV with my roommates, and several trips to the local Starbucks. I’ll try for some photos next time. Until then, chao for now!
