With the drop in temperatures, what better topic to teach than the clothes we need to keep warm when we go out to play?
It is important to teach «functional English» or the words that we use in our daily life. We will be using the words related to how to dress for the cold for months to come.
Here is a song to share at home to practice with these relevant terms!
…and since we are living in «penguin temperatures» here a is fun penguin dance to warm up over the long weekend.
… y dado que vivimos en «temperaturas de pingüino», aquà os pongo un divertido baile de pingüinos para moverse y calentarse durante el fin de semana largo.
Today in the Yellow class we began discussing Thanksgiving, an important American holiday. We started with the easiest and most relatable aspect of the holiday–the food we eat! So, I explained that on this holiday we have a large dinner with family and friends and the main dish is TURKEY! To illustrate, we drew turkeys!
I traced everyone’s hand on the mirror and we colored the feathers yellow, orange, green and red (our favorite autumn colors!)
Here are some resources to use at home to discuss Thanksgiving!
This year, Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 25th, so we will talk about it more next week!
Happy Turkey Day!
Hoy, en la clase amarilla, comenzamos a hablar del DÃa de Acción de Gracias, una importante fiesta estadounidense. Comenzamos con el aspecto más fácil y más identificable del festivo: ¡la comida que comemos! Explique que este dÃa celebramos con una gran cena y ¡el plato principal es pavo! Para ilustrar, ¡dibujamos pavos!
