One of language assistant Rachel's best friends from the USA is a primary school teacher in New York City. Her name is Hannah and she teaches at a public school in Harlem. Hannah visited Rachel for a week and while she was in Sevilla she visited our school! She told the children about herself and her school in New York City. The children had a lot of fun asking Hannah about her life, her students and her school.
We looked at pictures from her school and talked about the differences between her school in NYC and our school in Seville. Some of the differences we talked about are that the students enter class earlier each day (8 a.m.!) and have lunch earlier (about 12). There are also two teachers in each classroom at Hannah's school. Typically, the students eat foods like pizza or pasta for lunch at Hannah's school. There is also an auditorium and a cafeteria at Hannah's school. Here are some of the pictures that Hannah showed us of her school and her students.
Hannah was very impressed with the English of the children at our school! She enjoyed talking with the students and says good luck for the future!
