Furthermore, the lesson plans provided consist of circle time, playing active games, and singing songs and rhymes. Self-study. Since I don't have a teaching degree, nor the certificate yet on teaching English as a secondary language or foreign language, I rely on research.

I included arts and crafts on my lessons, and we make things from different materials where both my students and I enjoy.
