Family plans

Day 2 of  teaching was much more focused and purposeful - dare I hope more productive. I started with my family and pictures of all the children and grandhchildren. We talked about son, daughters, parents and grandchildren by putting sticky notes on the right pictures. I spent all day looking at my adorable children and grandchildren. And Bob. They always learn that word first and I 'm sure it helps them for life. Then they drew their own family trees and explained them in English. I was surprised out of  21 late teens all had both parents living and everyone had 1-3 siblings. Tomorrow siblings, uncles and aunts, the on to houses. We acquired some local magazines and I have a picutre of the Disneyworld Castle so that should cover it.

We were in the kitchen today - cute room. Maybe we have one at home....anyway we did chicken tamarind and tea. It explains why everything tastes so good. Fresh, fresh, fresh! Chopped and cooked within 24 hours of being In the field. Or close.
