Our lesson yesterday was about 'Aiga' - Family. The children had a fun time presenting their family photo's and telling the class a brief story of family members. Thank you to all the parents that allowed their child to participate by bringing in their family photo! They were very proud sharing about you and your family. Malo lava!
The main lesson yesterday was learning the Samoan words for our relatives and using it in our basic sentence - " O lo'u __(vocab) o _(name)__. "
Vocab: Other related words to lesson:
Tama - father/dad Aiga - family
Tina - mother/mom tama - boy
uso - brother/sister ( same gender) teine - girl
tuagane - brother (of a female) alofa - love
tuafafine - sister (of a male)
* please note: I was unable to put in the diactrics for some of the words above for correct pronounciation. Please email me if you have any questions.
Homework: The children were assigned to learn new vocab and to use it in our basic sentence. Parents, please help your child(ren) recite their sentences.
I also introduced to the class yesterday my new reward/incentive system. We will be using fake money doing this. Basically I've set up a little store in class called " Katie's Faleoloa" (Katie's Store) The children will be earning their "tala's"(dollars) by attendance, completing homework, participation and etc. At the end of the day, they will be able to purchase items from our store with what they've earned. This is our class currency, and here's a picture of a student buying an item ;)
