Jungle party!

I so much enjoy my first and second grade lessons. It's all new to me teaching to so young pupils after many many years.
Here the theme was jungle animals and here is something we did together with the children. That was two weeks ago as we are now doing Christmas things.
Here is the B1 class.
Leo the lion had a birthday party and all the animals were invited.

The colours of the rainbow.

I really enjoy teaching first and second graders this year for the first time after many many years. I download material from the site of the Ministry of Education. I spend a lot of time preparing things for the little ones and  quite some money,too. But I really enjoy singing and dancing and making things with them and it is so satisfying when they scream with joy when they see me. That's the fascinating part of teaching!
Here is the English corner in the 2nd grade.Words in English around us,pets and the rainbow.

 All classrooms  in my school have colourful curtains that filter the sunlight gorgeously and when there are decorations on the windows they look beautiful through.

 The rainbows of the first graders.

 I punched colourful butterflies and gave them to the kids to sing and fly with.

English teaching and a fairwell.

Yesterday I attended a two-hour seminar for English teachers on teaching English to 1st and 2nd Grade and the new English book for the 3rd grade. The seminar was interesting.
I am so happy that my Godson took part in the CD recording of the new 3rd Grade book. He is a bilingual.
I had the chance to meet with lots of other English teachers some of which are friends.
Unfortunately I heard the bad news that in the end of the summer another English teacher that I knew
Julia Tanner Bogia passed away.What a pity!She was such a nice person and a great teacher!
