Homework: AB47/1-3

Summary: Today we continued unit 5. This unit focuses on materials and what things are made of (These books are made of paper, The table is made of wood, etc). 

Creative Writing: Students created a new material, and told the class 1-3 special things about it. This was a great opportunity to use our creative thinking skills in English! 

Song: Students sang a song about different materials. This was also a good activity for listening comprehension.

Next week: We will review units 3, 4 & 5. The next test is scheduled for Tuesday, February 24th. 

Homework: AB46/1-4

Summary: Today we started unit 5. This unit focuses on materials and what things are made of (These books are made of paper, The table is made of wood, etc).

Video: Today we watched a video about Stella, Meera and Lenny visiting a Joke Shop. This was a good visual for discussing different objects and what they are made of (wood, brick, plastic, rubber, fur, wool, stone, sugar, etc.)

Game: Bowling! This was a fun way to practice our unit vocabulary. 

Homework: AB38/1-3

Summary: Today we focused on the months of the year, specific dates (birthdays, holidays, etc), and activities we do during different months or holidays. We also read about and discussed disasters and focused on volcanic eruptions (Pompeii and Vesuvius, Krakatoa, the Pacific Ring of Fire, etc) 

Game: Students played Baamboozle. This was a great opportunity to practice the vocabulary regarding disasters.

Discussion: We discussed active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes. The students told me about the extinct volcanoes in the Czech Republic, which was new for me! They were great teachers while explaining where they are located and the stories regarding them. 

Homework: AB39/1-3

Summary: Today we reviewed past simple verbs and past continuous verbs. We practiced forming sentences using both tenses. For example, “I was walking when I fell.” We also discussed disasters (avalanche, flood, volcanic eruption, tsunami, fog, etc). 

Competition: Students competed against each other in identifying and writing the correct past continuous verb forms with pronouns (I/She/He was walking. You/They/We were talking.)

Game: Students played Baamboozle where they had to decide which verb form they needed to complete the sentence (past simple vs past continuous). We also played a game to practice identifying our new disaster vocabulary. 

Song: Students sang a song about disasters. 

Homework: AB37/1-2

Summary: Today we reviewed past simple verbs and introduced past continuous verbs (we were walking, I was thinking, etc.). We also began discussing disasters. 

Competition: Students competed against each other in a variety of speed relay races. This was perfect for quickly categorising the different verb forms and practicing spelling them quickly. 

Game: Students played Baamboozle where they had to decide which verb form they needed to complete the sentence (past simple vs past continuous).
