I haven't updated the blog in two weeks because we had mid-term examinations. I'll write more on THAT later. For now, here are the latest pictures from the program.
First, here are the first grade students in our writing class.
Here, the first graders are studying about prepositions.
Here, I let one of my first graders take a picture of me. You can see another first grader hiding behind me.
Here are some pictures of the second graders studying superlatives. I gave them a list of people, places and things to study, and here they are researching those people, places and things on the internet to determine why they are important for our class.

I caught one of my students having a little fun after school.
Some of my junior high school second grade students have started writing me love letters but signing OTHER students' names on the letters. So far I've received DOZENS of these little notes. I'd discourage them, but I know they don't mean any harm, and at least they're writing, right?
Here are my third grade students taking one of our many quizzes.
Finally, here are some students coming for after school study. My junior high school second grade students often come after school for help with homework, studying for tests, or sometimes just to talk.

A couple of my second grade students were making notes into paper airplanes before class.
Here are two of my second grade NELP students and a SELP student in the English Club.
Here is my NELP 3rd Grade class right before today's discussion.
Here are a couple of first grade NELP students playing before class today.
Finally, my second graders had to teach the class a dance today. Here are pictures from our annual 'Dance Lesson'!
This group gave a little history for their dance.
We read an article about people in New York who are trying to repeal the Cabaret Laws that make it illegal for people to dance in establishments that don't have a Cabaret License. This group very cleverly tried to get out of giving a dance lesson by saying they didn't have a license!

The junior high school second grade students have been doing wonderfully.
We had a small group discussions the other day and one group in particular (and you know who you are) did spectacularly. Afterward, we had a full class discussion. Here's a picture.
One of my first graders decided to use the camera this week ...
I've decided that I may start allowing the students to take pictures. Maybe some of my students will be less camera-shy if it's another students taking the picture.
