4th Grade : What time is it?

4th grade students have started to study a new topic. The topic is `What time is it?`.

First, we had Teacher Talk. The teachers talked about their daily schedule. The students had to listen to them talking and try to guess what they were saying.

Next, we reviewed numbers. Students have already studied numbers so we just had to refresh our memories.

We did a chant with "What time is it?" and practiced saying simple times. It's 9. It's 7.

We also learned the names of daily activities in English

We played time bingo.

"BINGO!"

Lastly the teachers showed a small skit. Ms. Mayumi called Ms. Emily in Scotland. She didn't realise there is a time difference! Ms. Emily was sleeping! Oh no!

Good job 4th grade students!
