Actually I was done with it like two weeks ago. Now I am teaching whatever I feel like it to the kids. I gave them this simple assignment:
car / is / toy / where / Mom, / my / ? (Mom, where is my toy car?)
This should be pretty easy, I thought. But turns out the kids are too used to simply copying familiar patterns from the text book they can’t work broken up words yet. I had to instruct them to identify the verb first. Then group the words before and after the verb in phrases. And finally piece all the phrases into a sentence.
It took me 30 minutes to go through just two sentences. And they have the rest of the day to forget all about it.
Oh, the day before (1st June) was Children’s Day. Those kids had a great party. They screamed like wild. Pictures will be uploaded later.
