School!

Hi All,
I thought I'd put up something that shows what class here is like. These photos are of an exercise I did with my PK1-301 class. They're kids who've been through the kindergarten program and are in the first year of elementary school.

Part 1 of today's activity in PK1-301

I love teaching this class and I have them five days a week, more than any other class. They're quite mixed in abilities, with John who's able to carry on a relatively sophisticated conversation (for a seven-year-old) at one end and Sarah, who has difficulty forming even the simplest sentences at the other. There are two others- Thomas, major cutie, and Anna, a hyper-enthusiastic kid.
I've taught John and Thomas from the beginning and they are two of my favourites. I also teach John's little brother Chris from Melon class, another favourite. John probably takes the top spot though.
The textbook I have is a collection of picture books with complementary material, but it's meant for native English speakers so I have to make up my own exercises. Right now we're studying "Days with Frog and Toad." Today I had the kids draw pictures on the board of scenes from the book. Pretty much all kids love drawing, especially if it's on a large novel surface like a whiteboard, so I find it's a good way to get them involved in the lesson. They had to read the captions and draw representative pictures. Later, Beth
