Here is a link to a video the kids enjoyed very much. At the same time they can learn the names of clothes.

We started our last lesson practicing numbers: from 1 to 32 ( that was the last number I asked them to write, but they know more). They all did a very good job.

We reviewed the names of different clothes items and then students answered the questions:

What do you wear on your feet?
What do you wear on your head?
What do you wear on your neck?
What do you wear on your on your body?
What do you wear on your on your hands?
What do you wear on your on your legs?

They also answered this type of question:

What's Stella wearing? She is wearing a red T-shirt and green skirt.
What's Simon wearing? He is wearing a blue jacket and and gray trousers.

Students cut our clothes for a boy and a girl. Next day they will be learning to follow the instructions: put on and take off.
Homework: draw a 6 year old child. The child is wearing a blue coat, a yellow and white scarf, red gloves, brown trousers and green boots.

Hello again!
What are you wearing today?

Last Friday students were getting familiar with the spelling of clothes. We played a game where they had to match a picture with its word. .
Some students have special difficulty to tell between scarf 

and skirt  

Students worked on a worksheet in which they had to count all the clothes and answered the questions:

How many shirts are there in the picture?

How many socks are there in the picture?

How many skirts are there in the picture?

Most students answered: 4 shirts or 7 skirts. Only Irene was able to answer: There are 4 shirts in the picture. I hope next day everybody will do it.

Homework: children draw a table and 5 shoes on the table.

Children draw a bed and 3 jackets on the bed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

We have a new student this term. Her name is Elsa. So now there are 3 boys and 3 girls in the group.

We have started the year studying clothes: T-shirt-s, trouser-s, skirt-s, shoes, socks, dress-es, coat-s, jacket-s, jeans, boots, shirt-s, scarf, belt, sweater-s, cap-s, hat-hats.

First, clothes flashcards were spread on the table and  students had to identify them.

Students had to color the clothes  of a few people: Stella, Stella´s parents, and Stella´s friends Meera and Lenny. Children knew the different characters already. The teacher said, for instance: Stella is wearing a yellow T-shirt, a white skirt and yellow shoes. When they finished, the teacher said: I am wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. Who am I? Students answered: Mr. Star or Dad. Some students did the same thing. This is still difficult for them, though, we'll need to practice more next week.

Finally children were listening and learning a chant about clothes. And we also played a game where students had to dress a bear following some instructions.

For homework here is a link to a cute Japanese video the children must watch to practice. We'll be looking at it next Friday and I hope they can sing along with the video.
