Third Meeting
My third meeting with Josefina was very productive. She had completed her homework and demonstrated a very good grip on past tense. We talked for about ten minutes about her family and things she liked. I noticed she was having trouble connecting sentences with emotion words, so I wrote her a chart that listed the major emotions in speech from hate to love. We drilled sentences about food, saying things like "I like this food and I love this food." By the end of the lesson, she was fluently comparing emotions in a grammatically correct way. We also had a long conversation about foods and discovered we both enjoy cooking. At the end of the lesson, we agreed to keep meeting after the semester is over so that I can help her and her father with English.

Libby, that's really cool that you have decided to continue your meetings. Maybe I will tell her the same thing. She and I work a lot on past tense, so that's good that she is gripping the concept. It is also good that you are teaching her vocab words too, as I have yet to do that.
Wow that's really nice of you to keep helping her even when the semester is over. I thought that I might do that too, just because.
Hi Libby, Thanks for the good post. Sounds like you are offering Josefina a lot of help. I appreciate this. I also appreciate your willingness to keep working with her after the semester, and her father. Wow! But we can talk in class about how to continue this project. I am also glad that you had a chance to talk about general subjects that you have in common, like cooking. Dan W.
That's really great that everything is going so well with you and your partner. I was also planning on continuing to meet with my partner, but I'm not sure that will happen anymore. I hope everything keeps going great!
