September is always a great reminder of how much we can get out of gathering in classrooms as adults. The potential of bringing people together in one room and all the possibilities for connecting, inspiration, and building.

These are photos for many classrooms I used in Philadelphia since Fall 2017.

Ironically, some of my classrooms in those photos don't actually exist anymore! (the buildings were demolished or the educational spaces no longer exist etc), while others are very current.

I'm always grateful for fall beginnings and what they always brought!

Immigrants are hard working people who are looking for opportunities to improve their lives and their families. This is our first Saturday in this new Beginner English class offered by the Free Library of Philadelphia at Lawncrest Library in Northeast Philadelphia.

Students are all in Philly from as recent as 1 months, to 20 something years!

From China, Vietnam, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Syria, Egypt, Sudan and Algeria.

Look at the dedication and the fact there are 26 people who showed up to a class with their children and spouses. We are off to a great start

FIFA World Cup 2026 starts soon, and what a great opportunity it is for learning and sharing in so many possible ways!🙂

I grew up in Cairo, Egypt 🇪🇬with a strong soccer culture all around, I have vivid memories of my first in 1998 as a child, even though Egypt never made it back to the World Cup stage until 2016, our people cheered for many teams and followed games closely.
From Brazil, to Spain, and Argentina, to any Arab or African teams who made it, we always cheered hard and connected with players ⛹️‍♂️🥅

My brother and sister and I always got jerseys, and maybe a replica of the official for our neighborhood soccer games ⚽

It's 2026, and for the first time I'll be not only living in the host country but in one of the host cities: Philadelphia! My home for more than 10 years. 🇺🇸🌎

There will be events, festivals, conversations, and so much more to share and explore!

The English coach in me shares:

*Did you know: You can learn more English because of
*You can learn more about different countries, cultures, sports culture, celebration culture, and much more by simply interacting with the new, events, and coverage on FIFA world cup!

I'm excited about connecting with everyone here and worldwide around

This is Shimaa, from Cairo to Philly with love

Technology is developing so fast every single day. It affects you, your children, your family and everything you do in your life.

There is so much information out there.
Are you equipped to take what is good for your and leave out what is not good?

In addition to learning English and digital skills, you also need critical thinking skills.

From Twinkl Resources

What is Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha is a Muslim holiday about sacrifice, commemorating Abraham’s devotion to Allah. When translated from Arabic to English, the holiday’s name is the “Feast (or Festival) of Sacrifice.”

Eid al-Adha is the second of two major holidays in Islam, following Eid al-Fitr.

Did you know? The holy festival occurs at the end of the Hajj, a sacred pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, and all Muslims are obliged to undertake the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime, if possible.

When is Eid al-Adha 2026?

In the U.S., Eid al-Adha 2026 will begin on the evening of Tuesday, May 26th to Wednesday, May 27th, and end on Sunday, May 31st. The dates for Eid al-Adha 2026 are tentative and change based on the Islamic Lunar Calendar, not the Gregorian calendar.

What is the story behind Eid al-Adha?

Abraham had a dream that Allah asked him to sacrifice his son Ishmael. As Abraham prepared to give up his son, Allah stopped him and gave him a ram to sacrifice instead. This was a test to determine Abraham’s willingness and loyalty to Allah.

How is Eid al-Adha celebrated?

Every year, Muslims start the Eid al-Adha festivities by saying extra prayers. These are Eid prayers. Many people congregate in mosques and wear their finest clothes.

There is a “Qurban,” which is a ritual sacrifice. Animals such as goats, sheep, cows, or camels are sacrificed to symbolize Abraham’s willingness to offer up his son for Allah.

People divide the meat into three portions. A third is given to those in need or poor, one to friends and neighbors, and the remaining third is cooked and eaten by the family.

Charity is another part of Eid al-Adha. Along with giving meat to those less fortunate, many Muslims donate money to charities that provide meat for people who need it. This ensures everyone can celebrate the festival and that no one goes hungry.

New video in Arabic on YouTube!

For adult learners, teachers, parents, and anyone concerned with learning and information.

أول مرة أسجل فيديو بالطريقة دي من فترة طويلة، لكن كتر المحتوى والأحداث والكلام عن المعلومات الطبية والغذائية والصحة النفسية والحروب والمشاكل الاقتصادية بالعربي خلاني أقرر أبدأ حوار معاكم.
---------
هنتكلم عن فوضى المعلومات وفوضى المحتوى، ونفتكر أيام ما قبل الإنترنت وما قبل الموبايلات ونقارن العشرين سنة اللي فاتت بس في حياتنا بواقعنا الحالي.
------
دلوقتي أي حد على كوكب الأرض ممكن يقرر يعمل محتوى ويشاركه معانا من غير ما يكون حتى بيعرف يقرأ ويكتب!
هل إحنا عندنا المعرفة والقدرة على التعامل مع هذا الكم الكارثي من
المعلومات والمحتوى؟
-------
إزاي تعريف "الأمية" اتغير في السنين الأخيرة وبقى مش بس بيقتصر على عدم القدرة على القراءة والكتابة وبيشمل الجهل بالتعامل بحكمة ووعي مع المعلومات والأموال والمصادر المعرفية وأداوت التكنولوجيا.

ياريت تسمعوا الفيديو بتركيز وتجاوبوا على الأسئلة اللي هنطرحها. وشكرًا جدًا على اهتمامكم، لو لقيتم المحتوى مفيد كونوا إيجابيين وشاركوه في دوايركم أو مع حد تحبوا يوصل له الكلام.
