With my son graduating in June & more time come fall, I plan to return to volunteer with our local literacy program which focuses on teaching immigrants to read & write English. I loved my work with them before the tyranny of middle & high school sports!
I love this! I've been working on my own 2026 bingo. One thing I'm doing is helping with a citizenship class for people who are hoping to become citizens (although some of them come from countries who are not eligible to apply for citizenship alright now).
I'm just helping people practice the citizenship test questions one-on-one/two, so I didn't develop the curriculum. But basically they divided the 128 questions on the test into the number of weeks we have. In the first part of class we go cover some content related to those questions and go through the questions. The second part, we practice 1-1 with flashcards of the questions we've learned so far. I think at some point we'll practice some of the reading and writing portions and some of the common questions based off the application form. It has only been 2 weeks, so I'm learning as we go.
My first thought here is: have you put in too much? Perhaps it’s my elderly mindset but during my early forties just keeping up with a full time job, three school age kids, our farm, and earning grad degrees made these things tough to complete. Perhaps save some of it for when kids are in college when there is time to fill?
One of the things that I think is fun about a Bingo card is that you don't have to blackout the card to win. You could just do a line or two, so it makes for many ways to have a little win! -m

You used the word 'I'
8 times in the first paragraph .
It would be great if the 'I' gender sub stack generation
moved out of the first person conversation
where they are the subject, not us the reader.

I LOVE THIS! Please let us know how it goes! Is there a curriculum for this that you can share????
