Hello,

What did we we learn today?

Hopefully you learned to ask:

Have you got....(3 legs, 2 arms, brown eyes, etc.)?

And to answer:

Yes, I´ve got (brown eyes, 2 arms).

Or

No, I haven´t.

We learned that this is:     

and this is 

Students reviewed the parts of the body and played a game. They had to get all the cards belonging to a family, like the Face Family, which was formed by the cards face, eyes, ears, noce and mouth. They were playing  in couples, except for Sergio, who was playing by himself. So they had to ask another player: Have you got the mouth? And the other players had to give them the mouth if they had it and say: Yes, I´ve got it, or if they hadn´t, say: No, I haven´t (Sergio) or No, we haven´t (everybody else).

We listened to a recording and students had to draw what they heard. They made the picture of a monster called Willow who had 4 small eyes and 2 big noses. Then, all the students pretended they were Willow and said what they were like. 

We also reviewed the alphabet and spelled our last names, including Jennifer, right?

Homework

Make your own monster. Give it a name. Then, write what the monster says:

My name is... 

I´ve got...    (2, 3, 4, 8 long/short/ ears?    1-6 small/big/long eyes?  .....mouth? )

My hair is 

Hello everybody!

Today, we started playing with numbers, but we also reviewed a question that all of you should know very well by now.

How old are you?

The answer can be either:

I am 8 years old.

Or just:

I am 8.

We´ll do it again next week. I hope you remember.

After  that we reviewed the parts of the body. And we also read the cards with the words. To practice, we played a memory game, same one than last week, but this time we had enough time to finish. In this game students need to match a picture with the right word card.

The teacher was making a demosntration to show how to talk about the position of things. Some students said they are learning this in school. 

We learned only 4 of those positions: behind, between, on and under

The teacher asked the students: Where is your neck? And they answered: under my head.

Or Where is your nose? It´s on the face.

In the second half of the lesson students folded a paper in six parts and made a drawing of a girl or a boy on the unfolded paper. They folded it back and only showed the head. They worked with a partner. The partner had to ask questions like: Is she tall? Is she thin? Has she got long arms? Has she got big feet? And they had to answer: Yes, she is or No, she isn´t, she is short. Yes she is, or No she isn´t, she is fat. Yes, she has, or No, she hasn´t, she has short arms. Yes, she has, or No, she hasn´t, she has small feet.

Then they had to show their classmates their complete drawing.

Homework

O yes, this time I´m not forgetting. 

Ask 3 questions about Homer:

Example: Has he got a big head? Yes, he has.

And 3 questions about Goofy:

Don´t forget, there is a special word in English for these:

What´s that word?

Yesterday we welcomed Laura, who is coming from another class. Everybody shook hands with her and said:

Nice to meet you, Laura.

We reviewed the alphabet and each student spelled his/her surname. That´s something we are working on: when we need to write a word and we don´t know how we must ask:

How do you spell...?

Students were given small pieces of paper and each one had to write 2 or 3 parts of the body. Then we practiced the words looking at the pictu4re cards and got familiar with the spelling of the words, by looking at the written words. 

Each student drew a figure and wrote 4 qualities, like: short arms, long neck, wide shoulders, big mouth.

They got together with a partner and asked the question: What´s your character like?

And this is how they had to answer:

If they wanted to say a quality of the character they had to say:

She is (tall, fat, small....) or

He is (tall, fat, small....) or

If the wanted to describe parts of the body they had to say: 

She has got ( short arms, a long neck, wide shoulders, a big mouth)

He has got ( short arms, a long neck, wide shoulders, a big mouth)

Notice that: when that part of the body is only one (mouth, neck, back) we must write the article a before. When there is more than one, when is plural,(legs, arms, hands, toes) we don´t use an article.

Last, we played a memory game: students had to discover and match picture cards with the corresponding words.

Today we started a new topic: The Body. But before that we were reviewing the months.

Noelia doesn´t know them yet and I told her I want her to learn them for next week.

Here they are:

You can also learn them by listening to this song.

So, which parts of the body did we learn today?
Here they are: head, hair, face, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, back, hands, fingers, legs, knees, 1 foot, 2 feet, toes. And belly.

Students were learning the body parts with picture cards . First,the  teacher said a word and students repeated it. Then the cards were spread on the table and students were told to take one of them. Finally students had to say what cards they had. 
We were also listening, singing and acting that popular song about body parts:Head and shoulders. 

Don´t forget, there is a special word in English for these:

We also learned some adjectives to describe people and their body parts: long-short, big-small, tall-short, fat-thin.
The teacher gave instructions to students: Draw a big head, a long neck, etc...

Students drew the picture of the funny creature, gave it a name and wrote the description the teacher made.
Following that writing as a model, they had to describe another funny creature whose name was Lizy.

Homework
Describe this creature:

Start like this: He has got a big head...
