We started the lesson as usual: saying the day of the week and the date and talking about the weather. 

Only a few of them had done their homework, GOOD FOR YOU, so we were practicing questions like:

What do you have on Monday for your first period? And then what time do you ha maths? or Do you have P.E. on Wednesday?

We learned what we study in each subject like nouns and verbs  English or Spanish, mountains and rivers in Geography, drawing and painting in art, addition and multiplication in maths.
We learned some irregular plurals, like child/children, man/men, woman/women. These plurals are irregular because usually nouns only take an s to be plural: book/books.

Today there were 2 teams competing in the Olympic Games: they had to pick up a little paper from a bag and answer a question. These are the scores.

Today we started a new unit. This unit is about school. We are learning the different subjects: maths, sciences, geography, Spanish language, P.E. , history, art, music, social sciences, IT.

Students spelled their names.

We listened to a recording and students had to put the subjects in the order in which they had heard them.

Some students said what subjects they have on Monday.

We were reviewing how to say the time and then students filled in a worksheet that had clocks. They had to write the time. For the Olympic Games the teacher asked students questions like: What time is on the 1st clock? They all did very well.

Finally we were watching the Goldilocks video. Thank you Angela´s mother for writing down the lines.

Students lined up and said which position in the line they were.

We played a game: each student had a calendar and they had to move accross it going from box to box. they had to say the date they were on. The other students had to note it down on their own calendar.
We learned how to say the years. Finally we had a little contest where students had to write down the dates that the teacher dictated.
