Laast Friday we started the class by practicing numbers. Students were learning the words after and before. First, each student had to say the number that went after. After 11, the student had to say 12. Before 17, the student had to say 16.

We reviewed all the actions we are learning this month. Some new actions are: play with your friends, take a bath, play an instrument, wash your face, your hands, your hair, do your homework, cook lunch or dinner, take the dog out for a walk.
To learn the vocabulary the flashcards were spread on the table and students had to pick up pairs and name the action.

We listened to the song we started to learn last week and children got together with a partner and acted and sang the song. Students really enjoyed this part.

Later we practiced saying things like: What are you doing? I am washing my face.
They also completed a matching exercise. There were some incomplete sentences on the left side of the paper and some pictures on the right with the word next to them. We read the incomplete sentences first and students decided which picture was the most suitable.

The second part of the worksheet was a listening. Students had to identify the sentences they listened and color a star next to the right picture according to instructions.

Hello¡

This month students are learning actions, daily actions: wake up, wash your face, have breakfast, eat, drink, have a shower, brush your teeth, get dressed, study, draw a picture, write, read a book, walk, run,ride a bike.

They are already familiar with many these words, so it is rather easy for them. In our lesson the teacher showed them flashcards with pictures of this actions: first they were repeating the words; then they had to identify the pictures they were told and later, say the actions on the cards they had. They also had to act out some of those actions. 

We were also practicing numbers. Some of the students know all the numbers up to 100. Other students are learning them. Each student had to write one number on the board and later they had to join all the numbers identifying the next number.

We listened to a song about daily routines. Here is the link

To review the animals the teacher read a story to them about a very hungry lion and a rabbit. Each student selected the part they liked the best and made a picture of it. Finally, each student reviewed flashcards with the teacher.

Homework
Draw a picture of you sleepting.
Draw a picture of your friend having breakfast.

And here is an exercise to practice the action words. Listen and click. Do the first 3 screens, most of them are words we are learning in class.

Well, that was our last class on the topic of animals.

Happy Birthday Raúl! I hope you had a nice party. We missed you in class. 

This time I asked students: What's your address? But they did not know the name of their street, so they couldn't answer the question. I told them, and this is a reminder, that they must find out what's their address: the name of the street and the number. That way they can learn how to say it in English.

We reviewed the names of animals and put them in 5 groups. Each group was a family. Students had to try to complete a family by asking their classmates for the right animals. They had to ask: Have you got...(the cow, the squirrel, etc.)? and the classmate they asked had to answer: Yes, I've got it or No, I haven't. Students got points each time they asked the question or answered
 properly, and I must congratulate Elsa because she did a great job.

We learned some things different animals do: fly, swim, run, walk. I noticed most students already knew those words.

Students listened to a recording and had to say if the picture on their sheet was right or wrong. They all did very well. They also had to complete some writing  exercises: finding the correct word for each animal and writing it.

Homework
Here is link to a nice web site where children can practice spelling the names of animals. Children can click on Guess first: then they must click on the name of the animal they think they see. Then they can go to Spell and try to wite the names themselves.
They can also write the name of 2 animals that can swim, 2 animals that can fly, 2 that can run and 2 that can walk.
