The First of Février 2010

The first day was an interesting experince to say the least. Our intended goal for the day was to talk about Introduction (Hello and Goodbye), Colors, ABC's, and Body parts. We were also planning on playing twister to in order to tie all the themes together, but like so many other things in life things, it didn't go exactly as we planned. We ended up only having enough time to teach the kids their ABC's and the colors. I am sure that we will difinitly try and put twister in some time maybe next week or something I don't know.
I fealt that the kids were very well behaved considering that it was after school and they are only K-2 graders. I do think that working in small groups was a very effective ways to teach these children, but next timeI think we should have a station to set and have them rotate around the room. It's just a suggection .
I was supose to be in charge of the twister game, but unfortunatly we didn't make it that far :(.
So in order to just summaries my ideas for next week I suggest:

1. We set up stations and have the kids rotate between instructors.
2. Groups of three- four kids.
3. Add some sort of activity to tie all the themes together.
4. Have a better plan for our time so we don't feel that we just all of a sudden our out of time.
5. Come back to twister. :)

Well thats it for this week.
