Thought For The Day: “Don’t ever let anybody tell you that you can’t do something.”
~Will Smith, "The Pursuit Of Happiness"

By Zack

We started the day with discussing our weekend adventures. We all had a great time at Warsaw. So today it seemed like many of us were really looking for skits to do this Friday. Judy and Ryan had success with vocabulary puzzles. Their students selected states and facts to present this Friday. Jane played bingo with her kids. The boys won three games out of four against the girls. Then she had them do crossword puzzles. They also discussed their skit. Those students went head over heals for the English slang expressions. Jean (John) taught his kids to play cards in English including a game called 99. Then they worked on the skit.

Marge has two skits planned for Friday. Her students had a little trouble with idioms. Then three groups played Jingo. They had an interesting conversation about a situation in which a person dies in a car accident. Caroline and Kasia gave their students preposition worksheets. They talked about the difference between the uses of “a” or “an,” then played Uno. Dorota met with Megan’s kids for the first time. Then they wrote postcards with a first draft in their notebooks. They had success discussing Friday. Then they enjoyed a game of soccer. Zack and Pete gave out a baseball worksheet with a hidden picture and word search. After that was hangman. Then for the rest of class they successfully figured out their Friday plan.

Lunchtime we review our team goals and then we enjoyed a wonderful folk dance performance. Dinner followed with a discussion on economy.
