Accepting each teacher as they are

Today was a frustrating language day. Anika had to skip our reading for Gist class bc Shela was sick. I had Shabir Sahab twice. His patience is amazing. It is clear to my teachers and to me that:

1) My gender, plurals, and oblique is very weak. I have to work on it every day.
2) I am responsible for my own learning. They are not going to give me structure, not for verb conjugation, posessive pronouns, or lagna. I have to make it. I have the resources and when SS asked me to create my own charts today for homework, this was very helpful. Now I have notecards for a few key grammar points.
3) I respond best to Sahiba's teaching style. I am motivated to prepare for class, maximize the hour, do my homework, and do extra. As Kari said, I need to be exposed to a word 12 times before I can use it. 1) guess the definition, 2 read the story 3) revise definitions 4) use words in sentences, 5) listen on bike 6) reread story/stories at the end of the week 6) put vocab in readable reviewable form (is that notecards, sheets of paper to read on the treadmimll, or a new printable image making card system.

Goal for May come up with word system, start kicking gender and plurals, do reading review weekly.
