Saturday, May 25

Hello everyone! I hope that you have a great weekend and a really fun class on Saturday. Here is an update from Jeff:

Level 100 – We reviewed the vocabulary from the reading on page 9 and then reviewed the comprehension questions on page 12. After that, we finished the discussion questions on page 12. For homework, I asked them to check for unknown vocabulary items in the “Critical Thinking” section on page 12 and do the “Writing” section on page 13.

Level 200- We had a discussion on music and then reviewed the workbook homework. After that, we completed the “Language Booster,” “Pair work” and “Pronunciation” sections. For homework, preview and study the vocabulary in the “Vocabulary” section on page 8.

Level 300- We spent a long time discussing “families” and reviewing the vocabulary from pages 13 and 14 so we did not have a chance to take up your homework from last week’s class. We will start class next week by discussing it (the “Personalization” and “Discussion” sections on page 16.)

Level 400- We discussed families, reviewed the vocabulary on page 17, watched the video and then did the comprehension discussion on pages 17-18 and the listening cloze on pages 18-20. For homework, do part V, VI and if possible, part VII.

It was great seeing everyone again on Saturday. It felt like it had been a long time! Great work on your word cards. Remember that you should try to make about 10 word cards each week.

Level 100 – In class, we finished the “Vocabulary” section on pages 10 and 11. For homework, please do the comprehension questions on pages 11 and 12 and also prepare your answers for the discussion questions on page 12.

Level 200 – We completed page 6 from unit 3 in class. For homework, please complete part 1 and 2 from the workbook. Could you also use the expressions in the “Language Booster” section on page 6 to describe 5 people in your life?

Level 300 – In class, we finished pages 14 and 15 from the unit on “Money.” For homework, please finish the “Personalization” and “Discussion” sections on page 16.

Level 400 – We completed unit 2, “Tutoring for Tots,” in class. For homework, please complete the “Vocabulary” section on page 17. View the video at home as many times as you would like (until you feel that you have a good understanding of it).
