This week we are continuing with the same theme from last week and then moving on to la familia in the coming week. Continue with Darcy’s circle, building on communicative language chunks.
Introducing the circle idea. Break it down into English for a hot second: Okay you guys – so we want to try something very special with you guys, thats really really fun because we know you guys are a great group and that you deserve to try this. (Begin with praise) To play this game we are going to line up to go the gym. Now, in order to have fun playing the circle game, we all have to speak ONLY in spanish ALL the time in order for the game to work. (It will only be fun if we only speak in spanish) The circle is a very sacred, special place and it can be a lot of fun, only if we all agree to respect each other and can only repeat in spanish. Everyone needs to help remind eachother “¡hablamos en español!” (point to the rules board.)? Everyone unsterstand? Bien? Entienden?
Go to the gym.
b. APLAUSO!!! Bienvenidos al circulo sagrado. <Transition Word: EXCELLENTE> We get in a circle and stretch FAST to set the pace and get the call and response vibe flowing.
Respira. Tranquila.

Reflection
The great part about today’s class was that everyone was engaged – it was a little too crazy. At least everyone was very active and into repeating and the emotions. We ran out of words though and we could have made things even more complicated. Setting the tone is really important and using shouting voices maybe isn’t too good – we were able to curve some behavior using quiet voices and then the clapping a lot. We forgot to step in and make the story shorter.
The threads started out really really strong – I realize I went through them really fast. In the future, thinking about a full blown self-dialogue, and then having them all repeat it would be great.
Twister – change up the colors because “yo veo” didn’t go so well - the taking a jump forward just wasn’t happening maybe passing out beanbags. Todos con rojo arriba. Todos con azul arriba. Numerous uno, dos y tres saltan.
Kids who weren’t participatory were participating such as Seth and jenmarie
We should plan out in the future exactly what we want to say and how
At the beginning of class they were very good inquirers asking about Sunday – we need to find that answer out.
