In the Nytänkar group there are eleven students this year. We work with both talking and writing in Swedish. We focus on extending our vocabulary, write shorter texts and dvelop our reading skills. Sometimes Marie reads out loud to us, and sometimes we have to read by ourselves. We also learn about Swedish Geography, animals and nature. we play games and do arts and crafts to make it more fun and interesting to learn Swedish. The students always get a small homework to finish at home with the help from a parent or someone else in the home that speaks Swedish. |
