Calendar journal

I love starting each lesson with a short routine , but I’m not always sure that the kids are listening and getting much out of it.So, this year we started using a calendar journal template daily to help me assess rather my students are understanding the calendar time. As the weeks progress, I realized that students understand the concepts and they feel confident enough to complete the calendar journal by themselves.

This simple sheet gives us a review of that days most basic skills and reinforce calendar and number skills.

Skills Assessed:

-Days of the Week

-Months of the Year

-Today’s Date

-Weather

-Letter Review and Writing

-Number Review and Writing

-Colour Review

-Feelings

CLICK ON THE LINKS TO DOWNLOAD THE TEMPLATES from Level 1 to Level 4.

I laminated as many templates as students in each level and they use liquid chalk markers to complete them.


Este ano comezamos usar unha plantilla durante a nosa rutina diaria que me axudou a comprobar se realmente entendían o que estabamos a facer. Esta plantilla permítenos revisar todos os días as habilidades básicas (listening, speaking, reading, writing) e conceptos básicos coma as cores, días, meses, o tempo metereolóxico, os sentimentos….. e. cada semana que pasa, doume conta de que imos afianzando os diferentes conceptos e que van gañando a suficiente confianza para realizar a rutina eles solos á vez que pasamos un bo rato.

ROUTINES INTERVIEW

Last week challenge looked easy but it took more time than expected. First students had to write the questions and recorded them. After that,  they exchanged our questions in order to answer them and record a video again. It was a hard work but I have to say that the result responded to my expectations. And this without knowing who was  the schoolmate they were interviewing.

Congratulations guy!!!! Here are your invisible friends!!!

Present Simple

Today lesson is about the form and the use of Simple Present.

Don’t be afraid! It’s not difficult!

Let’s start watching this video from songsandgamesesl.blogspot and then, try to answer some questions about this verb tense.

 

READY?

  • Do we use Present Simple for talking about routines?
  • Can you give me an example of a daily routine?
  • Which sentence is correct? Every day my sister write emails/ Every day, my sister writes emails. Why ?
  • Can I say: I not take photos every day? Why / Why not?
