We had 6 students again tonight and three excellent teachers. We are starting to see the same core students showing up consistently which is great.
Overview of class:
* Started and ended class with Hail Mary.
* Reviewed what we learned last week with a worksheet where the students labeled people in a waiting room.
* After students completed the sheet had them write their answers on the board.
* Had an impromptu lesson on "a" vs "an".
** Would like to review and drill this more next week.
* Went through page 118 and 119  in the Blue Level 1 Step forward book.
** This was two listening exercises with related reading and writing exercises.
** One student was confused with the use of direct object pronouns ("The doctor examines '''him'''").
*** We spent probably a bit too much time trying to explain this.
*** Would like to work direct object pronouns and possessive pronouns into future lessons.
** Went over other common questions a doctor would ask like "Are you allergic to any medication?
Thoughts for next time:
* Review "a" vs "an"
* to work on different cases for different types of pronouns (direct object, possessive, subject).
** we should focus on one type each week so that we don't overwhelm the students with all the different scenarios.
* to review words that sound similar that may trip up new learners.   
** Going over contractions may be a good start here.
