These are my students(Teacher Jerry)

This is mixture of all 4 classes, but there are some really bright and talented kids in these groups.  I will say they like to talk and play as much as they like to study.  Today though I hit on an idea to have a student teacher from the class with me on each lesson and I think it will really help.  Each class has three lessons with me each week and that means we will have 3 student teachers per week per class.  These 12 will get special attention from me and also help me translate the assignments into Turkish, which seem to be a big issue with many  of them.  I have some talented musicians and a fine artist in one of the classes.  Learning the 70 names is going slowly, one of my students whose name is pronounced Jon said he noticed that if I did know a boys name I just called him Jon and it seemed to work.  This was not intentional, but maybe part of my answer for now.  No such luck with the girls though.  They like class games so any ideas or experience out in blog land will be appreciated.  We are working with creating a game called “The great game of learning English”  we are going to make up the rules during Sept and Oct and start the competition between classes in Nov.  Carol promises more on her kids this weekend.
