We had a really good day today. Luckily for the rain, it gave us more time in the afternoon and the children could engage in activities they enjoyed. It was fun and almost everyone was speaking English. I know Oscar's parents are worried about his English, but you would be happy to know I eavesdropped on him and his friends playing and they were all speaking English. Other things I saw in the afternoon that I thought were interesting, Emily sitting and looking as if she was reading a book. Not a picture book, but one of my books, no pictures and all words. I don't know if she was actually reading or not, but a good literacy sign. Some of the children took my phone (I am happy they did this, so don't be upset) and used the camera function to take pictures around the classroom. I was trying to get a photo of Emily reading the book. Vivian, Candy, Owen and Yoyo seemed to really enjoy this activity, and I wish I had more memory on my phone, as I only have one or two photos from their afternoon escapades and I was really interested to see what they could produce. If anyone has an old cell phone with a camera function, or an old camera, and would like to donate it to the class, that would be much appreciated.
The morning session was pretty good too. Lots and lots of talking. Gary put up his hand and told us that he had a PSP. Oscar had a Ben 10 toy for show and tell. Even though he doesn't like to speak much, he is not so shy that he cannot get up in front of class. He is very interested in popular culture, so even if he doesn't speak, I am sure he is learning from what the others say to describe his toys. Vivian Pan had some drawings for show and tell which is a really good thing to bring to show and tell. Hayden also brought something he had made from his blocks, which allowed us some group fantasy time.
If you have any questions or ideas, please let me know.
