4th Grade : Scotland Games

4th grade students have recently been studying a new topic. They have been studying Let's Try!2 Unit 2 `Let's play cards.` In the first class on this topic they learned about different games and weather.

After our usual greetings Ms. Emily told us about different games she played when she was in elementary school. Depending on the weather she did different things.

We told the students that at the end of this topic they will have a special recess time. We asked them what kinds of games they would like to play during this time.

Next, we watched some videos from the digital textbook. We had to listen carefully to try and pick out the words that people used to invite their friends to play with them.

"That's right!

After watching the teachers do a demonstration some of the students also took turns to be invited to play games.

"Yes, let's!"

"Sorry!"

"Yes, let's!"

Next, we had the whole class ask one student together. The students had to pick something that they thought their friend would agree to do.

DSC_4832.jpg "No no!"
"This one?"
"Yes!"
"Okay. Let's ask this one together!"

The students repeated the question after Ms.Emily until they were confident enough to answer by themselves.

"Yes, let's!"

The students had to answer with their true feelings so sometimes they didn't want to play the game suggested.

After that everyone wrote what they thought about the class.

Good job everyone!
