Valentine's Day

Sheila and I reviewed her Valentine's Day presentation, and made error correction. We also discussed differences between Valentine's Day in America and Mexico. They are mostly the same, but they eat cotton candy in Mexico. After she finished writing her power point, we went through the pronunciation. I helped her with any words she was unfamiliar with and made sure the pronunciation and grammar was correct. She varies with her pronunciation, because some words are similar in Spanish so she has no trouble with them, but the words that end with "s" and "ed" are a little more difficult for her. She also had some trouble with words  that sound the same in both languages but have different meanings in English. I need to review how to help students with pronunciation. And it would help if Sheila could go over minimal pairs. Working with Sheila is good practice and helps me understand what students need and what is helpful for students. It also helps me measure myself and if I'm doing a good job with teaching.
