Christmas Present Counting
|
|
Hey Everyone, I ´ve been working on a number / counting activity for my youngest learners and thought I would share it here. I believe that Christmas is a season for helping others and not all about gift giving, however I also know children love the idea of Santa Claus and presents under a tree. This activity has kids identifying, counting, reading, writing, and drawing numbers with a present theme. It has worked well in my class and I hope it can be useful for others. Enjoy! |

Winner of Daffynition contest
|
|
Dear competitors First I thought it was hard to enter this game but there was something harder : to designate a winner.  That ´s so cruel :( because I had a great time reading your awesome daffynitions I loved them all. I hesitated ... Lynne really well described my dilemma and for that reason I chosed her as the winner. Congrats Lynne ! Sorry for Redcamarocruiser , Les Douglas and Valodra ( I burst into laughter reading your daffynition and loved it  ). And finally thanks to Monique for kicking me ...where you think... That contest sure brought some smiles on my face and I ´m now happy to be part of the gang. Thanks everyone for your contribution you rock !  Have a great day. |

Relative pronouns
|

Hello everyone ! What does the word "that" in the sentence refer to, please? Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures, apply digital filters to it. |

Reflexive pronouns again))))
|
|
Hello every one! I need your help again with reflexive pronouns. I am in confusion. In most English resourses such verbs as FEEL relax wash etc. we do NOT use reflexive pronouns. But in one English book I have found the information that we use reflexive pronouns after the verbs be look seem FEEL. May be somebody knows when FEEL is possible? |

Based on your examples, I think we could say that the rule is when a second verb is involved. Subject + feel + adjective --> He felt sleepy. Subject + feel + reflexive pronoun + verbING ... --> He felt himself getting sleepy. (Or: He felt that he was getting sleepy.) |

I wish she had come [here]…(but she didn´t).
Or I wish she could come [here]…(but she can´t).
Usually we say "gone there" or "come here" instead of "come there".
I wish she had gone there. I wish she could have gone there.

What age are the learners? Here is a worksheet for elementary level https://www.eslprintables.com/teaching_resources/
This site has short news stories in 3 levels of difficulty. Perhaps they might provide interesting current topics. This poem was recommended by the Teaching English site. "To introduce the topic of old people and talking about grandparents in a class I’ve used Jenny Joseph’s poem called Warning. The language is simple and the ideas are clear and can easily be supported with visual aids for very low levels."

King James I

Hello everyone,
I’m not sure about this : when talking about King James I, do we say James One or James the first ?
Thank you !
