Today we began what looks to be the beginnings of a new tradition in the 5.Klasse, namely introducing a daily 'ice breaker' exercise. We always did these before, but they tended to vary pretty wildly from morning to morning. Now, I'm hoping to standardize them a bit more.
What we're starting to do is use comics written in German with questions listed below them in English, which the kids then answer based on what the comic says, what's going on, usw. It went rather well today, so I hope to continue doing it.
We reviewed the material from last week:
- Greetings for different times of day
- Introducing oneself
- Numbers 1-1000
As part of this review, we played a memory game where they had to match up cards in pairs, listing both the written-out numbers and the actual digits.
After the break, we introduced the two 'cornerstone' verbs, Haben and Sein. This was followed up by one of the most unique sessions of board races I've seen so far in the last 5 years. Typically, they spelled the German spot on! But they kept on misspelling the English words. Would you believe the word that needed to be re-written the most, out of ALL the German we did, was 'Sandwich'?
And now, the homework:
Workbook
P. 8
Exercises 8,9
and
Conjugate out Haben and Sein in the present tense.
Mit Vergnügen
