Keeping a Diary

Writing about your day is a good way to practice a second language. You get a chance to think in the second language and practice using the words you know well. It is good to use words you already know as much as possible to reinforce them. It also forces you to try and use some harder words and think about how to express yourself. It can be fun too!

English Playground
What does he/she want? He/She wants a doughnut.
The kids know he and she really well now, but the tricky part will be using “wants” instead of “want”.

Head Start
Who came in first? Beth came in first.
It can be easy to forget how to say first, second, third, etc, so it would be good to practice more at home.

Food is another really fun topic for kids this age and it is often fun for children to find out what foods their friends have tried.

English Playground
May I get some sweets?
This lesson is very fun for most students. They really enjoy talking about all the things you can buy at the store.

Head Start

How do you learn as a child and how do you learn as an adult?

When you are learning English or teaching English to your kids, it is important to understand the difference in how you learn. Adults do very well by learning with explanation and instruction, but kids learn more from having fun and doing. It is okay to put a little pressure on kids to study things like writing, but for the most part kids learn better with little stress. Adults do much better when learning with stress and often need it in order to learn. So at home, make sure your study routine matches your age.

English Playground
My stomach hurts. You should take some medicine.
The vocabulary is quite hard this lesson so it would be a good idea to practice saying it together at home.

Head Start

This is fun one to practice using the names of people at school or in your own family.

English Spotlight
Did you spend more time at camp in the forest or in the mountains? I spent more time in the forest
This question and answer are very long this week. The meaning is easy to understand but it may take quite a bit of practice to say the whole sentence on their own.
