4 o’clock Class

We sang songs and played some card games. One of the students looked up words in a dictionary, while the other student searched for words on an ABC letter search A4 placard. We did phonics practice too. I asked the students, “How are you?” The natural answer is “I am fine”, but in reality any reply is fine, so I asked that question, then showed them some adjectives cards to which they are to answer, “I am ....” plus the adjective the card is displaying. We all counted our body parts. I had them count individually. The funny thing is that the one year old says repeats after me, and he also repeats after the older student as well. Concerning the dictionary, the three year old student is looking up words. That is great. I will be happy when he starts finding three to four words in the time allotted.  The one year old student asked for the ABC placard himself as soon as he saw me grab a dictionary. I am anticipating the three year old student to pass the phonics test in about six months and the one year old student to pass is a month or two afterwards. The students are doing well.

5 o’clock Class

The student in this class moved to the 7 o’clock class. Everyone in that class are at the same level.


6 o’clock Class

The students in this class are reading the second conversation called “Let’s Go Shopping”. They are doing great. The students are four and five years old. Today, we did some translations. They write themselves. If needed I write more legibly. They are doing very well and the pace of the class is getting faster and faster. I will talk to their parents and inform their parents that they are doing well enough that they can advance to the next level after they finished the next conversation. Wow!

7 o’clock Class

The students are doing great. They are learning to make questions from sentences. The goal is for them to ask questions naturally like native English speakers. Everyone is participating actively. They are answering the questions I ask themselves. I am hoping that they will be able to advance to the next level in a couple of months.

March Classes

This month has been very fun! We got some new students. One student advance to the next level. In my first class the student is a two years old. He did a great job looking for the letters on a sheet filled with letters. His hearing is very good. He also repeats what I say with ease. I am so happy about that. He has started learning to use a dictionary. He enjoyed looking at the pictures inside of the dictionary. From the next class, I will put more emphasis on the alphabets and phonics. I hope he will be able to advance to the reading class by the end of this year. We play games with shapes and cards. The cards are action verbs, nouns, and adjectives. He is starting to remember the cards and say them verbally upon site. I am really excited about his hearing abilities. That is a great indicator that he should excel in the phonics games we play and eventually pass the phonics test. My second class is really cool. All of the students are doing grammar tests. They are doing very well. T...

4:10 Class Today, we played games and sang songs. We practiced saying the ABCs and phonics. The students participated and spoke. We plays card games. The students have to pick the correct card from a group of cards. They are gradually memorizing the cards. I think one of them is actually reading some the words on the cards. We also played with blocks that had different shapes. This class is progressing well.
