New Idea

I went into town today. We had a whole list of things to buy. It was good to get out of the house for awhile.  I bought a bag of Doritos while I was there. They were good, but now my stomach hurts. My poor body just can’t handle American food anymore. Makes me wonder what they put in that stuff!  It happens to me every time I eat any American snack. 

I’ve figured out a better way to teach the children at my house. Before, I would try and round all the kids up after school. I would say, “It’s time for English class.” The kids would come and sit at our dining room table moping and complaining that they wanted to go play. They didn’t like school! So the other day I just asked a couple of the kids if they wanted to write with me. We sat down and started writing our names and the days of the week. When the rest of them saw what we were doing they all wanted to join in. Then before I knew it they were asking me questions about what certain things in the room were called in English. I would tell them and then they would ask me to write it down so they could try and copy it. It worked great! Every time I would write the days of the week down I would say them as I was writing. So the kids were hearing them being said over and over again. They learned them and they had no idea they were even in class.

Hahaha. I manipulated their little minds and they didn’t even know..lol. 

 I’m going to keep that up for as long as I can. Hopefully they won’t catch on.
