Hi everyone! Semester 2 has finally begun! We aim to do more supplementary readings and science experiments this semester!
We've also got new students in the class this time around: Let's welcome Edwin and Joe to the class! =)
This week we started off by reading the story: Underwater Explorer. It's an article on a famous marine biologist and her work diving under the sea exploring marine life. I explained in class the differences between snorkeling and diving and showed the students a real life video of my roommate diving in the seas of Thailand!
Corresponding grammar and reading workbook pages were assigned as well.
For Science we started Chapter 8: Lesson 1 "Water, Water Everywhere!" This lesson explains how 2/3 of the world is covered with water. We learned about where water can be found and the different states it's in.
Corresponding science workbook questions were assigned.
For writing we wrote on the topic: "Tell me about how you use water in everyday life, how much you use, and where it comes from". I want the students to think about how water is an essential part of our everyday existence and that we should try to conserve water.
Vocabulary for week 1 and week 2 were assigned and there will be a quiz on the words next Wednesday in class. The words cover the materials we went over in class this week, as well as the materials we will be covering next week.
The new song this week was "Apologize" by One Republic. The students were familiar with this song before and some even memorized the lyrics already! CDs were given to students to take home.
This week's fun day is LASER TAG! There will only be 4 fun days this semester, the other Fridays will be elective classes which are mandatory for students.
**This semester I hope the students can improve their grammar skills (don't keep repeating the same mistakes!), reading comprehension skills, and classroom ethics. =)
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
Teacher Connie
