WHAT'S STUCK WITH YOU?

During the whole school year, some things got stuck with us more. I was curious what my kids will take with them when they leave, so I decided to prepare this =)

It happened to be a fun activity as they got to discuss their year and remembered the days of yore. First we talked about the passing year, then they went on writing and coloring. 

It was a fun activity for me, too since there were a lot of stories that I hadn't heard.

Hope you'll enjoy ! 

Are you looking for a passage for homework?

Do you have difficulties in finding new texts for your kids? So do I.

With my 5th graders we have a writing lesson where they follow a pattern to write about different topics. Last week's topic was to tell about a member of their families. This boy chose to write about his dad - but it was a little bit scary !! So I liked it =)

Then, I used it for the weekday homework and added some questions. He got shocked! Now all the other kids want their paragraphs to be published! Why not?

P.S.: You can add small notes to your homework sheet ^.^

Ms Aysu is Published now !

I am proudly presenting my first published article !

I have co-written this article with my former CELTA tutor Phil Keegan. We have shared some ideas on writing exercises that can be used in ELT classes.

I also thank Mr Philip Kerr for the opportunity.

Hope you'll also like it! +.+

A Grammar-Based Writing Activity

In one of my previous blogs I mention a website full of different kinds of worksheets- Crekid. I was wandering in it only to find a perfect worksheet for my 4th graders. 

 We have been reading Peter Pan with them and also in the grammar lessons our main focus is on "have got/ has got". So, I saw a blank picture of a pirate and took a copy, gave it to the kids, asked to color and draw as they wished and describe their pirates using the target language. =)

Believe me, all the kids had fun!
