  Today we reviewed our vocabulary and had our test.  We gave a couple of students the opportunity to show us their toys and talk about them.  Next week we will try again, and students will show us a drawing they made.  The students who volunteered are: Johanna, Anita, Miu Miu, Primo, and Marco.  I will encourage everyone to take the chance to show us something and answer questions, but if students are feeling shy I will not force them.  I want this to be a chance to have fun and speak without a lot of pressure.

Thursday 10/20

  Today we did a practice worksheet together. I talked about the test a little bit. Then we spent time catching up in our writing books.  

The vocabulary quiz tomorrow will be the first one I record for a grade.  It will have three parts: a spelling section, a section practicing usage and meaning of words, and a section matching pictures to the correct word.  Studying the vocabulary and making sure students know the meaning and spelling of the words will be helpful.  There won't be questions about the reading.

We will also begin our show and tell tomorrow. I'm still getting a feel for the level and interests of the class, but we will keep working on this. 

Our spoken sentence pattern for these two weeks is the following:

Where is it?

It is (in/on/under/by) the _____.

Friday 10/14

 Today we reviewed and had our test. I went over the test and tried to suggest some test taking techniques.  Finally, we worked a bit in the notebook.  

I also introduced my plan to have Show and Tell on every Friday and asked for volunteers for next week, presenting a favorite toy.  My volunteers for next Friday are: Theresa, Yi Fan, Ethan, and Karina.  I plan to give everyone a chance to present this year - I will suggest another topic next week.

For the four students who will present a show and tell for next week I included a worksheet in the communication books.  I hope this will help them focus and think about what they will say about their toy.  I am not giving grades for this, and if the worksheet is not useful, feel free to skip it!
