Day 4 was a day filled with school visits. First we went to Alyaqada School a private school where they teach grades pre-kindergarten all the way through high school. The school was split into two schools housed in two different buildings a few blocks from each other. One school for the lower or primary students and one for the secondary and middle school students.The kids were very excited to have American teacher guests visit their classrooms. We visited the secondary school first and when the Principal enters the classroom all the students would stand until they are motioned to sit down. The students asked us questions and we asked them questions. The students went on break and when the middle grade students saw us taking pictures they wanted to pose and take pictures of us. They came over to shake our hands some ran over to say hello. They were full of energy and fun to talk to. They were very curious about America.
We went for lunch on a big wooden ship that was docked on the river. Then we headed over to the Ecole Nortale Superieure (ENS) the teachers college to speak to a panel of Teacher Educators and Teachers in Training on the Moroccan and American education system. We met with the Moroccan Association of Teachers of English (MATE) and the President of MATE Mr. Nourddine Bendouqi gave a short talk.
My host teacher picked myself and my partner teacher up and took us to the English college he teaches at and we spoke to a group of business people taking English for Business that he was teaching. We spoke to the group of business professionals about the American Dream. This was a very cool experience.
