Day #1: I'm excited! I have a framework in mind, and though I'm sure it will need tweaked as we go, hopefully that will not be a huge problem.
-One teacher showed up on time; three were just a few minutes late; five more nearly missed the first activity (reading John 3:16 in English and discussing unknown words). But they came!
-DumDums were the treat of the day. Thanks, Pam!
-We covered introducing ourselves, basic pronouns, the verb "to be" in present tense, and six feelings.
-Their enthusiasm was definitely much higher than the students'. It was great to say, "Practice with a partner," and they actually did it!
-With help from Shannon and Laurie, two women here with a group from the U.S., we tested them so I can try to determine levels and what needs to be taught.
-The homework? Practice introducing yourself with a gringo/gringa (white person), an English teacher, or one of the junior high speakers 5 times before Monday.
