4th Grade: Special Recess Plans!

4th grade students had their third and last class on Let's Try!2 Unit 2 `Let's play cards.` In this class they invited their friends to play games in a `special recess` that each class will have.

After our normal greetings we reviewed the goal for the class and the English for the different games that the students wanted to play during their `special recess`.

Next, the teachers gave a demonstration on how to invite people to play as well as how to answer that invite.

"Sorry!"

Then, it was time for the students to actually invite their friends to play. Everyone planned what game they wanted to play and invited many people.

"Let's play tag!"

After almost all the students had decided what to play they sat down in their groups. Some of the students hadn't decided on a game so each group invited them in turn until they found something they also wanted to play.

Next, we asked the students if there was anything that they had wanted to say but they didn't know the English.

Ms. Emily taught us how to do that in English.

"Sorry!"
"Why?"
"I like tag!"
"Okay! See you!"

Then, we realized that the forecast for the special recess was for rain so we decided to invite our friends again, this time with a rainy day plan.

After everyone had found a game to play it was time for feedback and reflection.

Good job everyone! `Special Recess` will be so fun! Let's enjoy it!
