Monday – And So It Begins!

Our week began with Barbara’s fine recap of yesterday’s activity. Then we were treated to a snatch of song from Patty who reprised  “Getting to Know You” – a theme setter for sure. As we boarded the bus for our first day of school, some were eager and some were apprehensive. However, the teachers of […]

Tuesday – A Day For Teaching Both English & Cooking

Today the volunteers awoke to the sound of the ‘Mistral’, the famous wind that brought waves crashing into the shore just outside the Hotel Cleo. Our tranquil Adriatic Sea was transformed into a beautiful crashing and raging sea. School continued until noon and the volunteers could teach as many as four classes. Some went to […]

Monday – It’s Always An Adventure in Monopoli!

It is now day six of our volunteer experience. We arrived promptly at 8:00 A.M. at the school.  Some of us went with teacher, Maria.  She was a substitute teacher for a class of first-year students.  Their level of English was very basic and I thought, “Even I can teach this class!”  They were a […]

Wednesday – Midweek – Life Doesn’t Get Better Than This!

Which Transportation Do You Prefer? The students appear to prefer the motorcycles. We are now on day three of engaging in conversational English in Italy.

Tuesday – What A Difference A Day Makes

Today was very satisfying.  We arrived at school at 8 AM and rejoined our classes.  My partner and I assisted teacher, Maria with her new first year class by sharing our background and responding to questions and correcting pronunciation. Things really began in earnest  in Maria’s third year English class. We  began with simple vocabulary […]

Welcome! – The First Day Of Class! From Two Perspectives

This is the first day of school for both the students and volunteers.  There was a flurry of activity, with many kisses,  and greetings from the teachers to one another. One teacher arrived with cookies. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to see each other. The bell rang and we were quickly sent off with our individual teachers. I was […]
