03.05教学记录teaching log

跟大姐的部分
今天开始教学时,也是有点混乱。

先是晚到了快半个小时不说,刚开始抵达时,大姐想要玩的东西还真不少。先是依着她玩了一会。一边教学,一边布置,走过了日期,月份,天气

(大姐的认得的字还真不少,这点得要好好把握.Maybe I should look for some easy text, booklets for her to work on. )(Note 2:下次应早点到布置!)

在玩游戏中大略的带过形状颜色。(这边花太多时间了!有点浪费!)

We sang 祝你生日快乐 song.  一起用pasta noodle装饰了蛋糕。We practiced on characters writing of 生、日、快、乐 on the writing board.  And she will have to redo her missing homework from last time. 

天气部分,我想要进阶到四季和年份

跟弟弟的部分

先是在地上布满了不同形状,跟小弟玩了形状,还用手比形状(但是那个感觉有点弱),且感觉他不是那么有兴趣。

因为大姐也还在那里,于是我便抓了姐弟两人一起玩扑克牌 "心脏病",两人都玩得很好。
(虽然只有数字,但是一时间只听得到中文的片刻时光是让我有点小开心。

We practiced on writing the character 生、日。

We also sang 祝你生日快乐 song. 

生日蛋糕连连看
小弟很喜欢连连看的数字,he was doing it really well, even excited about it, and having no problem counting it to 40(ok, stumbled a bit on the final letter! I can try to find more 连连看 for him! or solving mystery problems, etc.) 

We reviewed on the terms we learned about 水果.I laid the pictures out, and repeat the words after me. Then, I asked him to look for the photos of the fruit. Originally, I asked him to say the names of the fruit so that I can find them, but he chickened out......so later we only did 苹果、 苹果、苹果苹果苹果 practice。

Last,  我们一起用pasta noodle装饰了蛋糕。

Oh duh! We forgot to do 水果蹲! 得说更多中文! And we didn't do 放学歌。

I think I'm still dealing with the differences between home tutoring and lecturing. As a teacher, I want to hit the target and do most of things that I've planned for the lesson, but when it comes to tutoring at home, it can't be necessary always that case. 

Ideas for things we can do for next time: 

  • Culture: 母親節!!!! (5/10) craft: a card or a flower? a paper heart? 
  • 旗子书(but i will need to translate the text first!! and have them choose the countries next time!) 
  • 猜猜我有多愛你 - 兔子书 (for 大姐,but maybe I can get some sentence structure out this first?) 
  • 让他们学习造句 using 我喜欢 你喜欢 (print out the words and have them do blocks next time!)
  • 水果蹲!
  • 我抽数字让他说
  • simple 唐诗
  • 天气部分,我想要进阶到四季和年份
  • 北风和太阳的故事? 
  • Craft: 作风车?
