You’re doing some really neat stuff with your kids. What did you use to make the cartoons?

Dear Anne,
Even though they are only 5 and 6 and EFL students, it’s such a great pleasure for me to watch them produce language! They are always motivated to participate to my lessons and this makes it more fun to teach. Thank you so much =)

Hey Shonah =)
Thank you for your comment! I do enjoy teaching kindergarteners, they are so pure, naive and funny =) Everyday they do something to make me laugh and it is great to see how they try to express themselves with their very limited English.
BTW, super Happy Birthday!! We share the same birthday day =)

How lovely to watch your children use and act out the words and phrases that they’ve found relevant to themselves in those good books. Leaving your blog today with a big smile to my face.

WOW! Ozge this is a fabulous post and the videos of your children are just inspirational!
This age group is so much fun to teach – and from your post, the videos and pictures I can see you have fun, as well as your children.
Thank you so much for sharing – it makes me just want to get back into a classroom and be surrounded by all that enthusiasm, singing, dancing and fun!
Happy teaching!
Shonah
