Orientation also included a trip to one of the model schools in AD. We had time to reflect on the mornings presentations and then we had Arabic lessons. I know I said we weren't supposed to learn Arabic, but I guess they realized we need some basic language skills. Not to mention it helps us relate to what the students will be going through when they are trying to learn our language.
The pictures are of a display in the school courtyard, the school courtyard, the side of the cafetorium, and two bulletin boards. The rooms were a little smaller than ours, but the school seems very nice. They have a real big center courtyard.
Good luck with the Arabic. I think it is great they are teaching you a little before getting started.
ReplyDeleteLove the courtyard. The bulletin boards seem to be a mix of languages. I guess it is going to take a lot of getting used to .
Knowing a little Arabic will certainly come in handy. Beautiful school.
