During the second week of February, many of our students had important\nexams in public school. As a result, the end of January and beginning of\nFebruary were dedicated to revision in our center. SB staff and volunteers\narranged a meeting with the teachers from the main public school our students\nattend. The volunteers were excited to visit the premises of the school where\ntheir students study every day, and meeting with the public school teachers was\nvery informative. It essential for the teachers and volunteers to understand\nwhat is expected from their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This collaboration enabled teachers and volunteers to organize their\nlessons to prepare their students for the exams. Audrey, a volunteer from\nFrance, explains that she played all sorts of games with her Grade 2 students\nto review maths: \u201cWe played a bingo and a memory game to review the\nmultiplication tables, they loved it! We also spent some time reading and\nremembering the key words they need to solve problems. Maths is not only about\nmaths: it is also about English since understanding the questions is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maryam, a volunteer from the United Kingdom, helped her Grade 6 students\nwith English. \u201cMy students were happy to go through the revision programme,\nthey were very involved throughout the week! And I could definitely see the improvements,\nespecially in terms of spelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, teachers and volunteers were satisfied with their classes. They\nwere confident that the students would do great in their exams, and they did!\nAudrey is very proud of her students: \u201cMost of them passed their tests,\nincluding those who have more difficulties\u201d. Ahmad, an Arabic teacher from\nSyria, teaches Grade 2 as well and is also happy about how his students\nperformed. \u201cOne of my students is the first student of her entire school in the\nfirst semester. I’m really proud of her!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This presented another occasion for our students to prove that with hard work and dedication, everything is possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
