Homework: due 21.9. Workbook Page 4, Exercises 1, 2 and Page 5, Exercises 1, 2 (Exercise 3 optional)
Warm Up: We talked about what we did this weekend and this summer. First in pairs and then shared as a class.
Bookwork: We started our Super Minds 5 textbook and did pages 4 and 5. This first unit’s theme is science. We introduced 10 new vocabulary words shown below, learned how to pronounce them, and asked questions about the words to check our understanding.
Unit Vocabulary: goggles, shelf, apron, explosion, bubbles, liquid, instructions, test tube, powder, gloves
Games: We introduced „2 Truths and a Lie“. In this game, you write 3 sentences about yourself, for example: „I am American. I speak French. I have 2 cats“. Two of the sentences are true, one is a lie. Everyone else must guess which sentence they think is the lie. And then you tell them if they are right or not.
We also played a quick game of Stand Up If at the end of class and students had the chance to lead.
Class Poster: We finished decorating our grizzly bears, then glued them and our photos on the poster and wrote our names. We added a few drawings to the poster giving it more depth, color, and personality. There are bears living in the cave, on the mountain, and next to the lake.
Class Dojo: Student earned points for answers questions while going through the textbook.
