This is from a couple years ago. It’s an activity that focuses on speaking, especially asking questions and basic vocabulary. The idea is to blindfold a student and then give them an object. Another student asks the first what he/she is holding. If the student can’t guess, the other students give clues. It’s a lot of fun.

What Is It?
A Sense of Humor
So I was in my Sha Sha class a couple weeks ago. I was passing out the books, and as usual, I was butchering the names of the kids. The kids who aren’t in the bilingual or the English imersion program don’t get English names, hence the butchering of their Korean names.
One of the kids had a family name of Won. As I slowly stumbled over it, one of the other kids standing there waiting went “Won, two, three!”. Yikes! A 5 year old with a wicked sense of humor.
Eric’s Commercial
The C1 Speaking and Writing class has been reading James and the Giant Peach with me for the last few months. I’ve decided to take it slow and do a whole lot of fun stuff with it. I’ll outline those activities in another post. In our last couple of classes we’ve been doing advertisements to see the Giant Peach before it rolls off on its adventures. One of those things we did was make commercials to get people to come see the peach. This is Eric’s commercial. He is a third grader. His commercial seriously cracked me up, especially the “la la la” part.
Coming Attractions
I’ve somewhat lax in keeping my blog updated. I do have stuff to post. I’ve just been insanely busy. So here’s a sneak peek.
- Birthday Friday photos
- Food pyramid poster
- Holiday photos
- James and the Giant Peach Activities
- Random student photos
- And probably more stuff that I can’t think of off the top of my head
Christmas Lyrics
Here are two new sets of lyrics for doing Christmas songs with your students. I’ll also add them to my lyric sheets page.
2008 Presentations
Last night was great. The kids were adorable. They all did really well. I’m so proud of all of them. Even Friday, I was pretty nervous about a few classes. But these kids really pulled it out. They did an excellent job and they all deserve a huge pat on the back.
