Have Fun with English! 2

A blog for me and my 5th and 6th grade students (2005-2007) in Parede, Portugal.

A singer was born

(drawing done in class by André N., 5D)

Hi, kids!

What a fun class with 5D this morning! There was (= havia) some homework with colors and Francisco and others were pronouncing /kólarz/, not /kalarz/.

We repeated /kalarz/ a few times. Then I suggested that we sing a song with the word "colors".

Suddenly Francisco started singing (= de repente o Francisco começou a cantar) and I said: "Wait a second!"

I grabbed (= agarrei) my PDA (pocket computer) and recorded Francisco's fabulous show. Everybody had a lot of fun!

A singer was born in class this morning!

Congratulations, Francisco! It was a fantastic moment because of you. Thank you!

Here is his improvised song!

> your teacher applauds enthusiastically <

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Hugs from your teacher and friend

A cool site

Good morning, kids! It's a beautiful and sunny Saturday morning!

Here is the ice skating rink in Ottawa, Canada, that I talked about (= de que falei) in class yesterday.

Have fun playing with the 360° picture. You can see all around (= Podem ver tudo à volta)! Remember to drag (= arrastar) the mouse slowly.

Tomorrow there is another surprise.

Have a nice weekend!

A kiss from you teacher and friend

First message for my students

Hi, kids!

This is our blog for this school year. It's a teacher-student blog. I write messages for you and you answer them in class, at the school library or at home.

It's a good way to practice the English you learn in class every lesson.

I hope you like the idea. I will make it as fun and colorful as possible.

Hugs from your English teacher
