It's A Pizza Party!

January 04, 2017

Hey there, everyone!

I'm excited to introduce 5 of my English students to you all! Two months ago I started a small language school called, "YES! Your English Source." I hold classes at Mattix Coffee in the afternoons when it's closed. Right now I have 10 students, and hope to eventually have up to 15-but no more! I have two classes. One for 8-13 year olds and one for 5-7 year olds. I love teaching these cute kids! It is exhausting and rewarding at the same time.

I promised my seven hardworking students from the 8-12 year old class that we would have a pizza party. They were very excited about it and worked even harder! Unfortunately, two of the seven did not make it for various reasons. :-(

Left to Right: Patrix, Elias, Matias, Me, Camilla, Natalia, and Flavia. Note: Patrix is not my student. He was brought by Elias. Bringing an uninvited guest to the party is a very Bolivian thing to do! Patrix was a great addition and we were glad to have him.

I gave them all a ball of my homeade pizza dough and showed them how to flatten it out. They sure had fun rolling out that dough!

Dough rolling lesson-I guess can I teach more than just English!

After the pizzas were thouroughly rolled, shaped, flattened, covered in cheese, and sprinkled with toppings, we popped them in the oven.

While we waited for the pizzas to bake, we checked out the family instrument wall and played "hot seat." We took turns asking the person in the "hot seat"questions. We mostly spoke in Spanish, mainly because these guys are still beginners.
