We had the help of Elsy de Diaz and two teacher supporters as well and a light snack was served to the students during the break.

Children at Kiwanis Village since April 2024 started to received English classes every Saturday to improve their English level and help them with their English homework that were given by their teachers at school during the week.
We are very pleased to know the children were excited to be in classes and they received support not only from the English teachers but also from Kiwanis teachers too. Thanks to your support we could give them a lunch every day so they can have something to eat during the English course.
Conducting classes
The students were separated into two groups: children and pre-adolescents.
Each classroom had the support and direction of two teachers, who created their own work materials (presentations, games or mini dynamics). Within the classes, the teachers presented visual material for their development and each activity they changed between classrooms to carry out more advanced activities with the pre-adolescents.
Topics:
-Unit 1: Letters (The Alphabet) Pages 9 – 10
-Unit 2: Numbers (1 – 10) Page 11
-Unit 3: Articles (a – an) Pages 15 – 16
-Unit 4: Plurals (Regular and irregular) Pages: 18 – 20
-Unit 5: (Subject Pronouns) Pages: 24 – 25
-Unit 6: BE – Present Simple (Pages 32 – 34)
-Unit 7: Have got (Pages 35 – 36)
Upon passing and concluding 2-3 units, evaluations were carried out, either written or orally, to evaluate the students’ knowledge. Each class had its own recreation space where a snack was given to students and teachers.
We are now looking for more volunteers from the University to keep the classes going.
