I taught the usual morning class with the boys, Luis Felipe and Ronald were the only ones that showed up today. We went over some words out loud in the Nacho Book with the sounds T and D. After much repetition, I had them write down some of the words as I said them out loud and underline the sound of T or D. I wanted them to focus on the sounds and try to remember what they looked like. Then they read for a little bit, the usual. I want them to practice reading everyday but I also want them to understand what they are reading so from time to time I ask them to summarize what they have read so far.
In the afternoon, it was Art Day! Personally, those are my favorite days. I love teaching and seeing progress but art is so much fun and the kids are able to manipulate things with their hands and use other parts of the brain that are not always used with just reading and writing. Today we printed with different materials. We used leaves that we collected outside, paint, paint brushes, different pieces of cloth and regular white paper. The kids love art day as much as we do. We become kids again. The kids behave so well during these times. After printing we all created our own stamps with plates and pencils. We started by carving a pattern on the plates with the pencil by drawing on them but with some pressure to cause a dent on the plate. Then we painted the stamp and pressed firmly onto a white paper. The designs were beautiful. As you can see.
Amazing jersey ;)
