This week was an exciting week at our St. Andrew's center, where we teach. On Monday, we taught prepositions and connected them to talking about directions. BPS people may remember the song Mrs. Geraghty taught us that was just various prepositions - well, on Monday all of my students learned the same song. Unfortunately for my dignity, Fernando has a video of it which I'm sure he'll be posting somewhere public in the near future.
After a brief introduction to AMERA (African and Middle Eastern Refugee Assistance) and the ways it could help our students, Tuesday continued the preposition theme, with a brief geography lesson. We brought in (poorly done) copies of the world map and the map of the United States (the African map, unfortunately, was forgotten by the copier and thus was not passed around), and talked about the world using prepositions to describe the placement of countries and continents. Parts of that lesson most likely went over some of the students' heads, but it was fun regardless.
