Rules: We talked about the Class Rules and signed our group poster. Be respectful (to your classmates, teachers, classroom), Listen, Raise your hand, Be prepared (bring books, pencil case, homework), Speak English

When students earn 30 points, their eggs will hatch! As the year progresses, there will be more goals and rewards.
Game: „Fruitbasket Turnover.“ We talked about the summer and reviewed the Past Tense with a game. One person stood in the middle of a circle while everyone else sat in a chair. The person in the middle said something about their summer, i.e. „I swam in the pool. I ate sushi. I flew on an airplane.“) If you also did that during the summer, you had to get up and find a new chair to sit in (and the person standing in the middle tried to find a chair, too!)
Time Capsules: Students filled out Time Capsule worksheets with information about themselves (i.e. I’m wearing… I’m ____ meters tall. My favourite subject is…This year I plan to…) They will receive these in our last lesson together in June so they can reflect on the year and see if anything has changed!
