So, class was a bit of a challenge today.
We started off with a review of fruits, vegetables, and meals - then followed up with a 3 question quiz: I wrote down the names of fruits and vegetables, and they had to draw the picture. Both of them did it right, but not without some arguing first.
Next, we moved on to discuss hobbies and sports. The pictures of the hobbies were fine, but when we were talking about TV shows, Alvaro got very upset. He claimed that he "didn't understand what we were doing" even though it was very straight forward and Mer was doing it correctly. He started to cry and we took a 10 minute break to figure out why he was so worked up.
Once he settled down, we discussed Question words: who, what, where, when, why, how, and that went swell. So did discussion on possessives. It was the reading about sports where Mer lost it and started to cry. For no reason really, she was upset that she had to read more than her brother, when they both had exactly 3 sentences to read.
We ended class a bit early as they were both a bit worked up and upset.
This week has been quite interesting. Monday they were tired. Tuesday, they were too hyper, and today they were all emotional. Guess that's the emotional roller coaster of being a 7 or 10 year old.
Hopefully a game of sports charades goes over well tomorrow.
