Progress Notes: The English Language Uniting 12 Communities
At the Careyes Foundation, we believe that learning a second language is about much more than memorizing grammar; it’s about opening a window to the world. This month, we want to share how our English classes continue to transform the lives of children across 12 different communities.
Music as a Bridge
There is nothing more rewarding than walking through school hallways and hearing a chorus of: “You can count on me like 1, 2, 3...”. The videos we are sharing today show our students practicing with Bruno Mars’ hit song. Music allows them to work on their pronunciation and fluency in a natural, fun way.
A Method for Every Age
Our team of teachers works tirelessly in both our 12 primary schools and our extracurricular sessions, tailoring each lesson to be unforgettable:
Learning in Motion: Through activities like Verb Charades, students associate vocabulary with physical action, ensuring long-term retention.
Thematic Vocabulary: From the mysteries of dinosaurs and the magic of musical instruments to everyday topics like parts of the house.
Drawing the Future: Our youngest students use art to reinforce their weekly lessons, using colors to express their aspirations for what they want to be when they grow up.
The Journey Continues
This program would not be possible without the coordinated effort and energy of our teachers, who bring fresh ideas to the classrooms every week. Seeing the steady progress in these 12 communities motivates us to keep moving forward.
English in Careyes isn’t just a subject; it’s the soundtrack to a bright future. Thank you for being part of this journey!
