Today the students learned vocabulary for clothing. We talked about taking an imaginary trip and packing our suitcases. We colored our suitcases and got ready to go. The new student, Oliver added a new dynamic to the class. He had difficulty making the transitions in the class as well as not screaming. We will be working on this unit for 6 weeks.
