This year, I am teaching Year 3 & Year 4 (which is 2nd and 3rd grade in the US system) at the International School of Morocco. I teach my homeroom for reading. Then, I teach 2 groups of Math and Science for high school students. We actively consider tasks with different ways of solving them, so that students not only stick to the prescribed program, but also develop critical thinking, creativity and the ability to cope with any situation. After all, it is so important to prepare high school students for the realities of adult life. In mathematics lessons, we also consider the basics of economic theory and work out examples of writing a marketing plan , this significantly increases the level of erudition of future university applicants. I will teach my homeroom class early in the day, and in the afternoon, I will teach the Year 5 & Year 6 students (which is 4th and 5th grade in the US system). My partner teacher will in turn be teaching Writing, Grammar and Social Studies to both groups of kids. Here are some pictures of what my classroom looks like.
