Subject Pronouns

I'm happy to share this activity: subjects pronouns.
When I presented each of the pronouns helping me
 with the poster pasted on the board, I could feel
satisfied of my draws. Children from the three
different groups perfectly got them.
We were reviewing all of them and the results were
 positive. Next wil be the verb "to be".
                                                                                      

 A HUGE MISTAKE MADE

I has made a mistake with my 4th grade students!.

I was planning to present the months of the year and when I found the words in the internet with nice draws and colors, I decided to use them for my three groups.

I printed the squares as big enough for students to see them and I was ready.

The first group was 4th grade and my surprise was when students couldn't read italic. 

Students from the others groups didn't have any problem at all.

Everyday we learn and with these experiences shared we can get better teachers.

Things are happening!

I 'd like to share what happened today in my 6th grade class.

Because this school does not have enough teachers, children from 2nd grade work in the 6th grade classroom, they share teacher and classroom.

Last semester I worked with these 2nd grade children for my thesis, I taught them during the whole semester and now I'm not teaching them.

Every day when I get to the class, Teacher take the 2nd grade children out of the classroom to work in different place while I'm teaching but yesterday they stayed there because the 6th grade students were going to copy the days of the week from the blackboard. The class was going to be short of time.

What happened made me feel so happy!

Three of the 2nd grade Ss were getting ready to copy the words. And they did, when the Ss of 6th grade asked  me to check over their jobs, the small children were there with their perfect work done.

This is the lesson plan I used with the three groups. I'd like to share with you what have happened.

In sixth grade; the students worked really fast and I had to add another activity. They even spelled their last names.

In fifth grade, the lesson plan worked perfect; with time, and activities.

In fourth grade, the spelling names' activity didn't work at the first try, either at the second try, until the third one.

I already made my action plan but I'm sure it will be working at "different speed" in eacg group.

See you next time.
