Semillas de Amor: The English Race

The following is from Sheena, an intern at Semillas de Amor:
The boys have invaded the English class, and so has grammar! This week the students started working on sentence construction. In pairs they raced to put the words in order to form phrases. I was incredibly proud to see my more experienced students helping newer students. During the last class Silfredo (8), pictured above with arms waving high, was having a lot of trouble putting the sentences in order. This class, with a little repetition and guidance from the others, he was able to not only put the sentence in order, but also give his brother Cristian (15), to the right of Silfredo, a run for his money during the racing game. He's become a lot more confident in the process and when I see him outside of class he's always ready to ask, "What is your name?"
