Sure :]
For now, I'm teaching the particles two at a time and we're on wa & no. Wa is used in almost every simple Japanese sentence.
Examples:
Kore no ringo wa aka desu. (The apple is red).
Watashi wa jyuuroku sai desu. (I am 16 years old).
Bangohan wa osushi to omusubi desu. (Dinner is sushi and riceballs).

No is used when something belongs to something else. Examples are:
Watashi no namae wa __________ desu. (My name is...)
Sensei no kyokashoo wa totemo atsui desu. (Sensei's textbook is thick).
