Learning a second language is like climbing up stairs that like a spiral: we don't cover all the vocabulary in one category at once. Instead, we start with a few basic and common vocabulary in one category, and go move on to a different area. In the next period, we revisit the first category, review the prior basic words, and then add more complicated/sophisticated words.
This week is a short week and we had two sessions for each class. The 7/8 grade class worked on extended vocabulary on family members and did written practice on listening comprehension, and character writing. The 1/2 and 3/4 graders reinforced their vocabulary for common animals and people. The 5/6 grade class learned and practiced ways to inquire about price of merchandise, as well as commenting on the price (cheap and expensive).
