Host School Visit

Today, I visited my host teacher's - Abdellatif El Moncef - school in a very small town called Ain Aouda.

While there, I made a presentation about Philipa Schuyler JHS and shared some of the student presentations on "A Day in the Life of a Schuyler Student" which the Moroccan students loved. 

Mr. El Moncef teaches English level 2 to 10th graders and has been teaching for 16 years. 

This is his first year at his current school. 

Close to the school - very rural.

The other teacher I am paired with to visit the host school this week - Ms. Welling - talking to the students.
