More than just vocabulary

Each day we read something from the reader that we prepared or from the workbooks. We are also very fortunate to have some picture books that the sisters enjoy.

Sister Bakhita and Novice Sara working together

Here they are working together to translate “Beatrice's Dream.” This book describes the life of a young girl growing up in a slum in Kenya. Spoiler alert: she does achieve her dream of getting an education and becoming a nurse!

Sister Edesia and Sister Anne-Marie reading together

The students work so well together and are learning lots of vocabulary as well as practicing their spoken English. We are very pleased with the amount of improvement, and this is just our sixth day of class.
