Working with Kids

Today I started my first private lesson with Malik, our friend Mohamed's 10-year old son. Since I've been living in Spain I've only taught english to adults, and I didn't realize how much I missed working with kids. It's a whole different ball game, but I'm starting to think I might prefer it. At 9:30 I was teaching adults participle clauses, and then at 11:30 I was drawing pictures of trucks and buses and translating Aesop's Fables, The Dog and the Shadow. Malik is a lot more fun than most of my other students. I think I'd rather hang out with him more. He's pretty cool. I guess when you get down to it I'm just a big goof ball.
