How Many...?

"How many books do you have"? First Graders learnt this question last week, they counted how many books, bags, pencils and chairs they had in the class. Then, they practiced and asked that question to everybody in the class. I know my lessons can be noisy, but well, they learn.

Let's ask!

Fourth Graders played a question game last week! We are practicing the sentence order depending if we use affirmative or question sentences. We prepared some naughty questions in class and then we went to the playground to ask them and practice English!

even shy students were asking!

naughty questions right there...

I was asked too!!

true reporters

accurate work

they really enjoy this free way of learning. Autonomy is improved here.

I'm thinking about making some supports for those papers

Asking can be exhausting... 

Quiz!

Fourth Graders heard about the Quiz that took place in Fifth and they wanted to play as well. You can't say no when they beg it that hard!!

The "pretend you're working" order never works... they love to pose!

Hands up for the right answer!

You can see a true discussion moment on group 4, right there.

Group 1 always way on top!!

Question Game!

Fifth Graders played a question game last week to improve their reading skills and to find out which team will design next week's game! 

For this first round, they were allowed to form the groups on their own. We all realized two things with this: yes, it is cool to have your friends in the group... but it is even cooler to have in it a classmate that knows English!

With the rotating sheet dynamic (foli rotatori) the groups wrote the questions and the right answer. We also used colored cards for the true/false questions! They only had one minute to do the whole thing... so they had to think quick!

Write fast, think faster!

The answer was TRUE, so green cards up!

Decisions, decisions! 

These ladies insisted on taking a group pic...

This group took the game to another level! 

You see that blue fence? That means they are serious about it!

The blue fence again... nobody cheated at least

Group 3 will be designing next week's game!
