Update from Teneisha: North African Immersion
Saturday the kids and I visited another town in Wisconsin called
Janesville. We went to visit a woman from Tunisia named Ibtissem (which
means smile in Arabic). Ibtissem shared her experience with what schools,
clothing and shops were like in Tunisia. She also taught the kids some
words in Arabic and how to write their names. She is a great dancer and
she also gave the kids a chance to practice while they showed her some of
their dance moves that she tried. It was a wonderful experience and I want
to thank Sue Nelson for setting up this actitiviy. I worked with her last
year and this gave the kids something that they have talked about nonstop
since we got back.
