When you send me things...

...I use them! This is my 5th grade English Club.

I love this class. So eager to learn. And learning is still "cool."

We started the lesson with a crossword review of clothing vocabulary.

I forgot 5th graders are short!

Then we worked on speaking, reading, grammar and vocabulary using Brain Quest.

I had them take turns reading the cards...

...correcting pronunciations as needed.

To work on listening, I always read them a story to end the lesson. This week: Peter Rabbit.

I do the voices and the actions to help them understand.

I know they enjoy it. How? Well, those smiles are one way. But last week I told them I needed to end the lesson early to make a meeting. They were so bummed I decided to be late to my meeting and read to them anyway. :)

So thanks for the colored dry erase markers, the Brain Quest and the story books. I always appreciate school materials in care packages. And so do the kids!
