Week 5 from Carmen

Already week 5! I think we’re making great progress.

This week’s activities revolve around food.

I’ll have a thick packet of various worksheets and activities for PACT time for you all to work on this time. The activities vary from straight vocabulary, to going to the grocery store to making recipes. Use what you think may be best for your students’ needs.

Social Hour—please try to talk to your families in Spanglish—this is the time you can try out some Spanish for them! Find out about their weekend and how working with the machine is coming.

Tutoring time: use the packet and the machines—focus on book 2, 3, 6 related to food: book 2, pg 7 book 6 pp8-9 book 3: 14-15

Ask the parents about their experiences at the grocery stores, foods from their homelands, special recipes that they know...discuss some of yours. The vegetarian thing seemed of great interest to the parents!

PACT time: Are you all making your albums? I’ll call around to make sure they remember their materials...I want to see them! I want to see photos and recipes. I’m going to give each family disposable cameras to take home, and have some catalogs to cut out pictures. The students will bring something related to food and collages to add to the book.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
