5th Grade : Let's count!
5th grade students have just started to study Hi,friends!1 Lesson 3 `How many?`. First the teachers did a small `Teachers Talk`. "Wow! You have many pens! How many pens?"
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 6 pens!"
Then they asked the students to guess what they talked about. After that the students did a warm-up greeting game.
They could ask each other "How many ~?" questions, for example: "How many shoes?".
Can you guess what he was asked?
"How many lines?". He is counting the lines on his hand!
If students didn't know the English they could ask in Japanese and then check the English with Ms. Emily afterwards. This makes everyone relaxed and they can learn some new English, too!
Nice eye contact!
Everyone tried to talk to many people and asked good questions. "How many pockets?"
"3 pockets!" Great smile!
The teachers picked some good students to give a demonstration.
Good job!
After warming up we did the Hi, friends! chants for Lesson 3 and also sang the `7 steps' song. We like replacing the numbers in the song with jumps and spins. We didn't take any pictures because all the teachers were jumping and dancing, too. It was so much fun!
After that we played the `Don't say 20.` game.
The students make groups and take turns to say 1, 2 or 3 numbers. The person who says 20 has lost the game.
Everyone enjoyed playing this game a lot.
By practicing pronuncing the English in groups the students don't feel bad if they make a mistake and other students can help them if they forget.
Some students were very good at avoiding saying `20`.
Ms. Keiko lost the game twice in a row! Never mind, Ms. Keiko!
Next, we played the `Number Gift` game. We were taught this game by 5th grade teachers from Nagamachi Elementary School. Thank you!
The students take turns to say the numbers from 1-20 in order. They `pass` the number to the next person. The person who receives `20` is lucky!
"1!" The next person has to say "2!" and point to someone else. They have to `pass` the numbers nicely.
"7!".
It's a nice game for practicing making eye contact.
"20!"
"Thank you!". The person to receive `20` says "Thank you!".
We also did some other activities using numbers. The students got into pairs and checking the contents of their pencil cases.
"How many pencils?" "5 pencils!"
It was a good chance to learn the English words for stationary, too!
Lastly, the students asked each other about the janken game that they played in Upper Grades Tomilish Time. "How many circles?"
"10 circles!"
"Wow! You are good at janken!"
Good job everyone!
