Out of Egypt-Session 5



Yesterday evening my Egyptian tutoring partners presented me with a gift of Mariah Carey perfume and hand lotion--very sweet of them. I guess they knew it was our 5th session, but I will continue to meet and tutor with them even after class is over.

Yesterday it was story time! We read a children's book together called "A boy named Giotto." They both got a chance to read parts of the book, also, as I helped them along. We also played a short scrabble game using dice with words on them. They were instructed to tell me what the words mean.

And...they remembered stairs and elevator. I was amazed. I thought to myself, hey, I taught them that! It was tough work, but atleast they now have those vocabulary words to use now and in the future.
