Question Words

Just before starting my Christmas activities with my grade 6 students, I reviewed the question words cause we'll have some activities in January about those words. I wanted to know if they remembered the question words we have practiced since grade 3.

I found very good activities about the question words on Funny Miss Valerie website, but my grade-6 students will only do them in January. In December they listened to a song with lots of question words and they LOVED the song. The title is 'How the question owl'. I found that song on a ESL site.

Go Away Big Green Monster

I don't read a lot of stories to my students but sometimes I do. I prefer videos because the students see the pictures better. So when I teach parts of the body to my grade 3 and 4 students, I like to show them the 'Go Away Big Green Monster' video. The students like it a lot better than when I read the book. They think it is funny. 

If your students prefer the book, it was written by Ed Emberley. 

Christmas songs

Christmas is coming soon... so my students sing a lot of Christmas songs. Here are some videos of songs I like to listen with them.

Grade 2 : Jingle Bells from Super Simple learning (a wonderful ESL site)

I also like watching the chipmunk version with them. They think it is funny.

          

Grade 3: Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer 

               Santa Claus is coming to Town

Grade 4: Up on the rooftop which is one of my favourite Christmas song

                 Frosty the snowman 

In grade 5 and 6, I listen to Christmas tree and Feliz Navidad. I couldn't find good videos for those songs so they just listen to the songs from CDs.

ENJOY!

Happy!

Here is a video I like watching with my grade-5 students in the feelings & emotions unit. We usually watch the video from the movie Despicable Me 2. Students like it and I like it too.
