We have just started week 2. Week one we did photos which I published here. I also got photo release forms signed by all but 2 of the students.
We started off week 2 learning classroom vocabulary. After we reviewed 20 words I gave them this worksheet. It was interesting that even though the words were in their book and we had just studied them, many students had a problem referring to their book to figure out what the words were. They just sat staring at the page. I walked around and showed them where to find the words. Some students then figured it out, but others said no I want to use only my head. I said that is ok if they can figure out the words, but it they couldn't find the answer, they should use the book as a resource. It is strange to me that they didn't know to do that. Of course we had other problems like students putting their paper in their binder upside down. I fixed those problems, we got our binders organized with the 5 dividers. This was just the first day of week 2. More to come.
