By on Track: Teaching Region: Asia - Central

Our S@vior is born!  Wait, is it January already? What? Time is flying! We are already at the end of another year and oh boy, haven't we been blessed?! Christmas Party:  Having the freedom to teach as we want, we decided to host a Christmas party for our students. For many of them this was the first time they celebrated or even heard of Christmas (having a Russian influence they celebrate Grandfather Frost on January 7).

By on Track: Teaching Region: Asia - Central

So much has happened this month! Our Papa has been incredibly faithful (as He always is) and given us an amazing 1st month in our placement.School:We officially started classes on Sept 9th. Despite the fact that we didn't plan on teaching together, our Papa knew exactly what He had in mind by allowing us to co-teach the same students. We both teach 4 different Intermediate classes. We have two set of students at 4:30pm and 2 different ones at 6:15pm. We alternate between classrooms so students can get to see each one of us twice a week. We are enjoying the process of… Read more >>
