Family, Ages, Review

Today I met with Aileen and we worked with Abu, Amidu, Johari, and Mariam to discuss family members and ages. Abu knows a lot more vocabulary than his siblings so Aileen focused on helping him learn more and use different sentences, while I sat with Amidu, Johari, and Mariam. We reviewed the numbers 1-20 and helped them practice saying their own age. We played a game where they would catch a ball and say their age, then pass it to someone else. We had them use different verb tenses, to say "he is" "you are" "I am." Amidu gets bored very quickly, and while is not up to Abu's level, he is far better than Mariam and Johari. So I had to arrange different activities for each of them. I let Johari copy sentences, Mariam work on the alphabet, and Amidu write his own sentences. We had to repeat the numbers 11-20 several times, they know them in order but they don't know them as individual units. There were also several times, where I felt they weren't understanding me and I had to go back and explain.
