Homophones
Janille worked with Nathaniel on homophones, focusing on their correct usage in sentences and spelling. Nathaniel engaged in various exercises to enhance his English vocabulary, such as sentence completion, true/false questions, and choosing the appropriate homophone based on given definitions. His assignment for next time is to construct four sentences, incorporating the words 'waste,' 'waist,' 'principle,' and 'principal.'

Janille Sandy guided Nathaniel through an English lesson centered on homophones. Nathaniel actively engaged by completing sentences, choosing the appropriate word from given pairs. To reinforce their learning, Janille tasked him with finishing the rest of the worksheet as homework for their upcoming lesson.
Homophones
Miss Janille taught a learner from Bel Air about homophones, defining them as words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings. The learner practiced identifying homophones from a list and in sentences. Miss Janille plans to inform the learner's mother about whether the next lesson will include a test.

Janille worked with a student from the Chinatown area, focusing on antonyms. The learner practiced identifying antonyms within a reading passage and utilized a thesaurus to expand their vocabulary. For homework, they were assigned a worksheet to identify two antonyms for a list of words, which will be reviewed in their next lesson.
