Today was the first day back to Ukrainian School for us this year and I am SO incredibly excited to announce that I was asked to join the Cincinnati Ukrainian School as a Teachers Assistant for this school year!

When I began teaching myself Українська мова, I had NO idea that almost 3 years later {when I am still very much learning myself}, I would be given the opportunity to help alongside the Native speaking teachers at школа, but I am beyond honored that Anna thought to ask me!!

I am really excited for this new path in my Ukrainian language journey. I believe that it will very quickly improve my confidence with speaking, especially since I am more comfortable speaking around children than adults at my current level. I also think that learning alongside Native teachers will help strengthen my language foundation, since I am almost fully self-taught in українська мова. It will also help for me to be able to do a better job of teaching my own children Ukrainian language outside of school & will help open up communication for us at home in Ukrainian language. I would love for our whole household to be speaking fluently together, and for my children to continue teaching their children from birth.

Anna asked me to write a short bio about myself for the school’s web page. Here is what I shared:

Hi! My name is Madison. I am a proud first-generation Ukrainian-American homeschooling mom that is dedicated to keeping our Ukrainian Roots alive & strong. Our family has been a part of Цинциннаті українська школа since it’s opening & I am very grafeful and honored to join this year as a Teaching Assistant.

Until next time ♡ Mama Morozov
