DESPERATELY SEEKING CLASS (for free English subscription), Santa has been to town
Posted on: December 3, 2013
The Christmas season is in full swing, Thanksgiving has just been and gone and the shopping frenzy has started (sort of).
Meanwhile, Santa has just been to OoberKidsRepublic! We have just found our first Sponsor!!
A very kind person has just offered to pay for an English subscription to OoberKidsRepublic. This means class of 30 kids will have free access to our premium English material, prepared by a teacher with 30 years experience.
We have the sponsor, you may have the class. We are looking for a Y3 class in the UK.
Do you want to claim this subscription for your class? Your child’s/grandchild’s/godchild’s/neighbour’s child (you get the gist…) class? Apply TODAY, write to me: cecilia@oober-k.com.
If you don’t, but want to help: spread the message: re-blog, re-tweet this post.
