Today we learned a new question: 

What´s your address? 

Our little doll friend,  Jennifer Brown, said:
My address is 5, Alamo Street.

So you can see that in English, first we say the number: 5, and then the name of the street, last, we say the word street. 

I am glad those 4 children did their homework, but if you do have Internet at home and your child doesn´t usually do his/her homework ,please, insist that they do it and help them with it.

We are still learning to describe people and their faces in particular.

Taday children said the name of a friend and then said something about him or her. They said things like: Erika: Her hair is long and brown and her eyes are green.
Or

Jude: His hair is curly and his eyes are brown.

Have you noticed the word that is different if we talk about a boy or a girl?

Yes, you´re right. We use his when we are talking about a boy and her when we are talking about a girl.

Then students got together with a partner and said something about one of the faces in the book: his hair is curly and brown. Their partner had to guess which picture he/she was describing, saying It´s picture A or picture B.
Students drew a face. They worked with a partner and asked questions about their classmate´s drawing: Is it a boy or a girl? Is his hair blond? Are his eyes green? Then, they had to write on their notebook the description of their partner´s picture.

Finally, we watched a video and listened to a song called: What do you look like? Children may listened to it at home.

We reviewed the flash cards: adjectives to describe people. We played the game Around The World.

Homework

Look at the video and answer the questions:

1. What does Dima look like? What color is her hair? What color are her eyes?

2.What does Mish look like? What color is his hair? What does he wear on his nose?

3. What does Louise look like? What´s her hair like? Is she tall?

4. What does Jan look like? What color is her hair?

Well, this is an improvement: 4 students did their homework. It is getting better.

Yesterday we continued learning how to describe people´s faces, and not only, because we were also studying some adjectives to describe a person with hir or her body: Words like tall/short/, fat/thin, ugly/beautiful, strong/weak, old/young. 

We were reviewing the words introduced last week. For that we used flash cards. Each child was asked to identify  some of the cards, take them and them show them to their classmates while they said the word. 

Later students completed a listening exercise: they had the pictures of 6 characters and they had to recognize their description and identify each one of them. The descriptions were similar to this one:

     Suzy is very young.  She has a round face, wavy hair and a small nose. She is got a butterfly on the hair.

Later on we were playing the game Who is who. Students were divided into two teams. One individual student had to take the picture of a character. The teams had to ask questions to find out which character it was. 

They had to ask this type of questions:

Is it a man or a woman?

Does he/she wear glasses?

Has she/he got brown hair ( 0r blue eyes, a mustache, a beard, blond hair. etc.)

Is he bold?

By the way, What´s a man? A man is a big boy, like your dad or your grandpa.
And what´s a woman? A woman is a big girl, like your mom or your grandma.


Homework Match 8 of the descriptions with the pictures

Then choose one of the faces and  ask and answer the questions above.

For example: 
I choose nº 2. Here are the questions and answers:

Is it a man or a woman? It´s a man.
Does he wear glasses? No, he doesn´t.
Has he got brown hair. No, he hasn´t, he has blond hair.

(If you cannot print the worksheet, make a drawing of the boxes in the same position as in the worksheet.)

Last Monday we started a new unit. It´s about faces, parts of the face and how to describe different faces.

Only 2 students brought their homework: David and Sergio. Well Done! The other students should try to do it.

We studied words to talk about hair.
About the colour: brown, blond, red, dark
About the shape: straight, wavy, curly
About the size: long, short.

Words to talk about eyes: 
About the colour: brown, dark, blue, green, gray,

Words to talk about the face
 About its shape: round and long

Words to talk about the nose
About its size: big, small, long

Students completed a worksheet: they had to draw their own portrait and write some of their characteristics, like I´ve got blue eyes and a small nose. 
Some of the students have a round face, but they think they have a long face. 

We reviewed the topic on the rooms of a house. Students listened to a recording and had to draw a line to the room and the place in the room where the recording said they were. 

So we practiced place prepositions: on, under, behind, in, between.

Look at this pictures:

A

B

C

D

E

Homework Which of the pictures  is on, which is behind, which is between, which is next to, which is  under. 
Make the sentences. Example: The cat is next to the chair.
