This is Dalit and I. Dalit is also a volunteer from Oranim and teaches English at my school. She teaches different classrooms than I do. I often see her out in the halls with a white board and 6 students, trying to rile them down as they blurt out the answers and hop out of their seats to do cartwheels. I tell you, these kids have an excess amount of energy- more than Dalit and I put together!
During recess, Dalit and I make our way to the teacher's lounge to drink coffee and discuss our day. We will talk about what teaching methods work with our students, and which one's don't.
Dalit and I have a plan in the works to start a hip hop dance class during recess. The Israeli children LOVE hip hop dancing. We think this will help improve the children's conversational skills outside the classroom, while also acquainting them with popular American musicians.
I am really fortunate to have been partnered up with Dalit. I look forward to our future endeavors at Ben Zvi Elementary.
