ORIENTATION

Dear teachers!

We're going to have two sessions with the same content but with two different groups of kids. Each session will last 15 - 20 minutes.

My kids from both groups are 5 - 6 years old. So if you could join us with your kids, it would be great! If it's not convenient for you (too late for your kids, or you'll be at work at the appointed time, or any other reason), it's OK - just join alone - we'll be happy! ;-)

Our sessions will be group ones, so first I'll make group chats for each session and then I'll make a group call at the appointed time.

This is the language we have covered with my students before: https://sites.google.com/site/myenglishbaggage . So we're trying to practise these words and structures.

Please, don't upload the photos from these sessions to the Internet! I should first choose the ones that are allowed to be shared worldwide. The point is that in Russia some parents don't want their kids' photos to be published online. So, I'll choose the photos for uploading and let you know as soon as possible! Sorry for this inconvenience!
