| Building a "spider web". They had to say 1 thing about themselves. |
Today marks the
end of week 1 for us here in La Guaria! It fleeeew by, and believe it or not,
in just a week’s time the kids have expanded their English abilities immensely
from where they started.
Coming in with little to no English
the kids can now carry on a basic conversation and ask and respond to a bunch
of questions (they’ve got mad interviewing skills!!) such as:
“What’s your name?”
“How are you?”
“What do
you do?”
“Where do
you live?”
“How old
are you?”
“Do you
have any ______(brothers, sisters, pets, etc)?”

One of
their favorite activities from the week was to play charades with the
occupations. We had two teams racing against one another to be the first to
guess who their actor/actress was mimicking. The signal to start acting was to
call out “What do you do?” They really got into the roles and had a blast!

| Drawing community maps to answer "What do you live?" |

| Practicing numbers |
On a different note during today's lesson on family, some of the students struggled today with the difference between when to use “do” vs “does” in forming a question. The third person in English seems to be a bit difficult! We’ll have to go over it again. I just hope that they remember to look over their English during the weekend!

As far as
next week goes, we’re going to jump right in learning about physical
characteristics and how to describe oneself!
