School and verbs
When Aileen and I arrived on Saturday, the kids greeted us and they were willing to speak English. We started by trying to teach them how to talk about school in English. We tried to draw pictures of the different class subjects and ask them what classes they were taking. Aileen worked with Abu again, and I worked with Amidu, Johari, and Mariam. They didn't understand what I was saying so I started from the beginning, and instead talked about "school" "house" and "bus." They understood these very easily. So I had Amidu practice simple verbs and making sentences with them. Then I did an activity, where I had them all do charades of the word I said. This went really well. They enjoy being active and I think working on paper all the time bores them a little bit. But again I had Johari copy sentences, and Mariam and I reviewed numbers and the basics.
