1.April '17 - Teutoburg, No Tricks

The most fun thing about teaching on April 1st was that the class spent the entire day anticipating a prank that never came. That is the best kind of prank, you see: doing nothing at all and letting their minds run with it.

Today we did Teutoburg. I can say quite easily it was the best Battle of Teutoburg play I have seen to-date! We ran through it 3 times, recorded, and then had an encore performance for the 4th and 6th grade classes so the latter could see what to expect next year and, well, the former was just curious and wanted to know what all the noise was about.

After the break, we had a further lesson on the dative case, expanding it into a lesson on the accusative and the difference between the two.

NEXT WEEK WE ARE TAKING THE AATG LEVEL 1 EXAM. THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW. THIS IS A BENCHMARK AND A STUDY AID FOR NEXT YEAR'S LEVEL 2 EXAM THAT THEY WILL TAKE AS 8TH GRADERS. SO WHILE THIS TEST IS INDEED FOR REAL, IT IS INTENDED AS PRACTICE. PLEASE BRING A LAPTOP OR TABLET AND EARBUDS/HEADPHONES.

Mit Vergnügen!
