Karinna TS #14 - Imani

I visited Imani today after his first day of school, we took a few minutes to talk about his day. He did not seem as excited as I thought he would be. After thinking about it I probably would not enjoy going to a place that I know nothing about and everyone is speaking a different language. I asked him what his teacher's name was, but he did not know. This really worries me because it seems like the teacher did not take the time to understand Imani's situation. Next we talked about what his favorite part of the day was and which subject he liked the most. Imani's favorite subjects are math and science, no surprise there ! Since it was the first day of school there was not any homework, so I brought a book for us to read; "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". This book has repetition of the majority of the words Imani has learned. We spent the rest of our time reading this short book. I first read the book to Imani and then we went page by page underlining all the words he knows. Then we read page by page together, I let Imani try to read on his own as much as possible before stepping in to help.
