P - mo Palota - Election Year 🏁

 Hello there internet peeps!

I believe I've mentioned before how important 2020 has been. This is now an understatement as SO MUCH has happened. It is definitely life changing for everyone all over the world!

I have been extremely busy now doing online zoom Samoan classes and interpretations that I've neglected to post 😔

But I wanted to share some important observations in doing my video sessions with other children, I've discovered even more so that pronunciation of certain letters or sounds are problematic for first-time Samoan speakers.  Namely, letters "P" and "G". 

I have included below some work sheets also check out the correct pronunciation of these two letters:

P - pbeeh not soft like "pillow" not hard like "boy" but somewhere in between.

Pronunciation sound for mata'itusi P - 🔉 P

I will dedicate another post to the letter "G" but I wanted to post the letter "P" first because another important event coming up is the Presidential election 😄

So here are some worksheets to promote knowledge and awareness to our future leaders. Inform them of how important it is to vote and learn more about the mata'itusi "P"

Here is the link worksheet for mata'itusi "P":

E faitauina Oe - Be Counted! 🙋

Hello virtual aiga!!! 😊

I 🙏 you are all well and healthy. This pandemic has changed the way we live - our work, school, community functions and worship has been affected. I know in my area, people are trying to adjust to these changes and not always an easy process.😕

Long story short - its been busy on my end. I now work from home and playing multiple roles all at the same time - sometimes wearing my hats simultaneously 👒: teacher, maid, coach, cook, mentor 👀...am sure many of you are going through the same motions 😆

When I said I love learning...someone up there heard me and put me to the test. 😀
So as we are all learning to adjust to our new "normal" I wish you all the best....🙌

I have not created any new material yet - but here's something to teach the kiddos: the importance of being counted for our census - our population benefits in many ways by participating in this process.
please share, educate and participate!!!
💕,

Tausaga Palota - Election Year ❎

Talofa!!
2020 is election year!! and coming from a politically active family, I talk to my kids about the importance of exercising their civic duty by voting.
But before that, I encourage them to stay informed on current issues and topics. They have the power to move their country a certain way and influence leaders.

I have 2 eligible voters this year and although this is not a political blog - I still want to share that I am throwing my full support behind......🥁
🙊
Well - lets just say I respect a candidate that loves MATH (Make America Think Harder) 😊
Yes - I've heard so many pundits and comments about the impossibility of a victory but I must say, the platform of issues touch so many in the community I serve that I find it hard to sit back and stay silent.

I am swept up in the wave 🌊 and would love nothing better than for our country to move in the right direction ↣ Not Left, ← Not Right, → Forward ↑ 👌

Rock the vote!! 🖉
