I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

Family Flash Cards: 89-100

Adverbs and Adjectives 2 (series 2) with keys
This is the second in a new series, which focuses on longer adjectives and adverbs. Students complete the word search, crossword and read the sentences to distinguish the context to help them choose the correct adverb or adjective to complete each sentence. These take quite a time for me to make, so they may be intermittent.
