We have such fine artists in this group. I loved Luna´s and Irene´s pictures of animals.

Here is a link for this week.It´s a little movie about the jungle and the animals that live there. Animal Jungle Movie. It doesn´t matter if children do not understand everything, they just need to get familiar with some of the words, like jungle and forest. They can understand the descriptions of animals.

During our lesson last Friday we reviewed the alphabet once more and students spelled their surname or last name. Some students still have difficulties with this, but we´ll continue practicing.

We reviewed the animals by looking at the picture cards and also read the word cards. Then, we played the Memory Game: students had to match picture card with word card.

We watched the  Animal Jungle Movie and then played a game: students were given descriptions of jungle animals and they had to guess which animals were being described.

Last students completed a worksheet: they had to fill a chart about animals: say how many legs, feet, arms, or tails they had. Decide if the animal is big or small. And say if the animal has skin, scales, feathers or fur. 
Examples:
A fish has scales.
A bear has fur.
An ostrich has feathers.
A hippo has skin.

Homework

Hello!

We had a good lesson last Friday. Everybody tried hard to behave and pay attention.
And everybody knew the months already, in the right order. Well done!

After doing a little exercise with numbers, we reviewed the animals cards. After that, students asked the teacher for some of the animals. They said: Can you give me the lamb? or Can you give me the squirrel?
Next, students had to imitate the animals on their cards. And the other ones had to guess which animal they were imitating.
In the second part of the class we saw a video with a song. The song is At the zoo. Here is a link to the video.
Students completed a worksheet. They had to listen to the descriptions of some animals and  match the numbers of the descriptions with the right picture. After that they chose one animal each and described it. They all did a GREAT JOB. They described the animals like this: It's gray and big, it has got four legs, a short tail and big ears.

HOMEWORK
Make a drawing of an animal that: it has got no legs, it is long and green, it has a big mouth with little teeth.

Another one: It is tall. It has got two long legs. It has got a long neck. It's got a beak (pico).

Hello!

NEW TOPIC

Wild animals and other animals that are not so wild. For some reason I seem to choose the same topics you are studying in school. That´s good, you´ll learned them better.

We started the lesson with the usuaol questions:

What day is today?
What´s the date?
What´s the weather like?
What´s the month?
What´s the year?

Most students are very good already at answering those questions and also at asking them.
They also asked each other: What´s your surname?

During the first part of the lesson we were working with flash cards. Students practised the names of animals and said wheather they were pets, farm animals or wild animals. 

We played a few games of bingo. Irene was so lucky that she wan the first two games. That´s why she was teacher during the third game and had to take out the animals from a bag ans say their names for the other students.

Later students listened to a recording and joined the dots in a worksheet to make a picture. 
They also did some drawings of animals. Next day they´ll have to talk about their pictures and say things like: Picture 1 is a crocodile. A crocodile is a wild animal. Or ask questions like:
What animal have you got on picture 3?

Homework

Make a picture of a wild animal: it is green, it has got a big mouth, it´s got for small legs, it is long.
And a picture of a pet, the pet you would like to have. A dog, a cat, a bird, a fish, a rabbit? 

In our class last Friday we reviewed the months. Students had to say the next month and then, the month before.
We also did series of numbers. The teacher said for example: 5, 6, 7, what's the next number?, students had to continue the series saying one number each.. Sometimes we went backwards, like: 16, 15, and so on.

3 students brought their homework: Alvaro, Irene and Luna and they told us about it. WELL DONE!

It was our last lesson on the Topic Clothes. We played a vocabulary game: Around the World. In this game, students have to be fastest to say a word. Everybody got to stand up because they had been the fastest, but it was Irene who went Around the World.
Students were shown the pictures of the Star family members and their friends and each one of them described one of them on this way, for example: Stella is wearing a green skirt, a white T-shirt and red shoes.

We finished a worksheet we had started in another lesson. Students had to listen to a recording and match various character with their clothes and other belongings.They were sentences like: Kim has got a purple skirt and a gray mouse. 

They learned 2 more commands: Put on and Take off. One student came up to the front and the other ones gave him instructions: Put on a coat, put on a scarf, put on a hat, put on the gloves. Take off the hat, take off the gloves, take off ...

Last students were dressing their drawings of a boy and a girl with the clothes they had made last week with color papers, according to the teacher's instructions: The boy takes off his orange trousers and puts on his jeans.

Here is a link to an exercise. This way children can get used to the spelling of the words they know. This is their homework. I'll ask them about it.
