Julia Smith TS #12

On February 25, I had my 4th tutoring session with the refugee children from 12:00-1:00. Laura and I went together, which I was very glad about because the kids had a lot of energy today. We begun by reviewing number 1-20, and then we introduced them to the different types of coins. We explained and taught the names of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, and had them place the coin in the appropriate category. We also taught the monetary value of each coin, but when we tried to explain that 5 pennies was a nickel I think it became too difficult. Next, we reviewed some verbs (run, walk, jump, eat, talk, drink, sit and stand) that Laura had taught last week, and we played charades with these verbs. At first, it was difficult to communicate that each person should act out the word instead of reading it aloud, but the older kids began to understand. We also reviewed family relatives and ages, and drew picture of our families.
