We forgot to start with prayer, as students were late to arrive

* but we eventually got in a Hail Mary and then we closed with another, using the Rosary card handout

* We had a new student who knows almost no English, so it became a good opportunity to ask our other student who also started from near zero to help
** she explained the "do" question/ answer lessons that we worked on last week
* so the class was essentially reinforcing that last
* a few big "do" breakthroughs that the students found helpful:
** to see how the word "do" goes from question to answer (statement) by its placement:
*** i.e.  Do you have a pen >> I do have a pen   Subject |   Verb      Subject | Verb
**** in a question: "do" support auxiliary verb goes before subject
**** in a statement: "do" support auxiliary verb goes after subject 
** how "do" can add emphasis:
*** ''I do like that dress!''
** how "do" can be "naked", i.e. present but not stated 
*** ''I [do] like pizza'' 

* our new student struggled with commands or instructions
** so we read Matthew 8:5 about the centurion in Spanish (Mateo 8:5)
*** I say "go" and he "goes" (''y digo a este: “Ve”, y va'')
** and worked on "Say 'hello', "Repeat after me..." etc.

* we then split into two and worked with students individually on 
** higher level: 
*** abbreviations
*** contractions
** lower level:
*** numbers and money
