Homework: due 21.9. Workbook Page 4, Exercises 1, 2 and Page 5, Exercises 1, 2 (Exercise 3 optional). We will cover Page 6 on Monday.
Warm Up: We played „Categories“, where students wrote as many „B“ words as they could in 60 seconds. It was impressive how many unique words students came up with in such a short period of time (even „bamboozle“ made the list).
Super Minds: We continued with page 5 of Super Minds. Did Exercise 1, completing the grid of which character had which subject yesterday. We then used words from Exercise 1 (mostly past tense verbs) to fill in the blank in Exercise 2. We then gathered to watch the video in Exercise 3, a cheetah who lives in a tree and eats chickens (the students were quick to point out that cheetahs don’t live in trees).
Games: We played a high-energy flashcard review game called „Fly Swatters“. In this game, students are separated into 2 teams. One student from each team is given a fly swatter. The teacher calls out a word („bubbles“) and the first kid to swat it gets a point. I was impressed how quickly the kids had picked up the vocab. We also played „2 Truths and a Lie“ – with sentences in the past tense while we were finishing the class poster.
Class Poster: We finished decorating our poster by gluing on our blue whale cutouts, photos and wrote our names. Well done, Blue Whales.
Class Dojo: Students earned points for thinking of a unique „B“ word in Categories.
Have a good weekend everyone.
