Overview:
* Opened and closed class with    the Hail Mary
** It was nice that a lot      of the words were relevant to the lesson (father, son, mother), but Shane      mentioned after class that we should point out that some of the words      aren't used in modern english and students shouldn't be too worried is      they stumble over "thee" and "thy"
* Students filled out a    worksheet to review "a" vs "an" and reviewed results    on the board
* Learned vocabulary about    family and relatives
** When practicing      pronunciation Shane pointed out how crazy the word "daughter"      is and how you shouldn't worry too much about sounding it out. It's more      like Daw-ter or water
* We did a few listening and    writing exercises based on the Step Forward level 1 book. There is an    example family and students practice describing how different people are    related.
Thoughts for next time:
* Possessive adjectives (my,    your, his, her, etc) are one page away in the book we have been working    through. Would like to make sure we work that in because there has been    confusion in past lessons.
* Bring up vocab related to    Christmas.
* Start learning more phrases    about shopping. Have students practice talking to a cashier during class.    Volunteers can play the part of cashier until students get the idea, and    then flip.
Thanks,
