The first Small Talk lesson was a success.  Lots of new kids, as well as some of my small talkers from last year. We spent the first lesson just getting to know each other by asking ‘What is your name?’ and answering ‘My name is ______’.  We played a name game with puppets and raced to see how long it would take the puppets to find out everyone’s name.

We also practiced counting to 20 and learned (reviewed) the colors.

Of course we had a snack and the children got to choose a cookie or raisins and red or yellow juice, which they had to ask for out loud and say ‘thank you’ once they received it.

In the second group there was a spider in the sink so we decided to sing to him and learned the song “the eensy weensy spider.

I’ll post some of the songs we do in class next week.

In the mean time kids can practice telling their name in English:

My name is …….

What’s your name?…..

How old are you?

Counting from 1-20

colors: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, brown, black, white, gray
