Basic Literacy Class

I dropped in on Cheryl's Basic Literacy Class today in the church parlor. Joined in also; interesting to be part of the process and not the teacher.

Not too many students but I think this will catch on. Students were engaged and very eager to learn.

Also learned the honorifics 'Saw' and 'Naw' in Karen: Saw Thomas and Naw Shari.

Grammar Classes finished...

We have just completed a seven-week course on Grammar for the high intermediate and advanced ESOL students in our Karen community. There will be ten certificates awarded tomorrow morning between the English service upstairs and the Karen service downstairs. A total of 108 student hours was accomplished.

We will take a break for the rest of the summer. Stay tuned for plans for the rest of the year...

slowing down...

Class today had 9 students; most came in late. Next Saturday is the last class of the session. Will keep classes the future to 1 hour. We did, however, have a great class. We finished verb tenses with the future tense. Started on prepositions and students had some great questions. Cheryl will try a Basic Literacy class the week after I finish this session for a one shot deal to see if there is a need for that.

the beat goes on...

Started up Grammar Class again this past Saturday. Was locked out of the church again and only 8 students. But we had a good class on Past Tense.

Meet today with Pastor Nick and Cheryl to plan a Teen Activity Day. Details to follow...
