Students pasting family members.

T Hazel began the class greeting Ss and giving some instructions about go to the bathroom, drink water etc. Those intructions were gave in Spanish.

T Hazel began the 'Warm-up', pasting a poster with a family tree on the board and playing a game call 'Hot Potatoe' where students needed to make a circle and pass the Hot potatoe.

T Hazel played a song and Ss needed to pass the ball, when the T stopped the music, the Ss who had the ball had to try to put a picture of a member of a family in the correct place on the tree.

T Abigail started with the 'Presentation' pasting 8 flashcards with family members on the board; for example: Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Uncle, Aunt, Grandmother & Grandfather. T Abigail asked Ss if they recognize what the topic was going to be about, after that, T Abigail pasted on the board the corresponding spelling of each word under the flashcards. T Abigail asked Ss to pronounce the words twice after the teacher. Moreover, T Abigail explained each flashcard with the corresponding spelling, and then T Abigail started to remove the first flashcards and asked Ss to say the correct spelling about the flashcard that T abigail remove, T Abigail did that for 8 times until none flashcards were on the board and Ss should remember where the pictures were, this to help students to remember and recognize each picture with the corresponding spelling.

T Hazel started the 'Practice' with a game where previously the Teachers had put on different desks the name of a member of a family with an object; for example: Brother represented with a cap. What Ss needed to do, was that T Hazel said a member of a Family and Ss needed to run toward the desk that had the name of the member of the family and wear the object that the desk had.

T Abigail presented the 'Production', T asked Ss to sit down on the floor and work alone, T Abigail gave them an envelope to each Ss with scrambled words, Ss should mixed the letters and when T Abigail said a name like GRANDMOTHER, and Ss had to form the letter without any help, if an Ss finished first, he/she needed to said STOP and T Abigail checked the word, if the word was correct the Ss got a point.

10:15 am: T Hazel presented the 'Wrap up', where pictures of family members from popular cartoon were pasted on the board. Each picture had a number, Ss needed to work individually and take turns, each Ss needed to choose 2 numbers each turn; for example: a Ss chose number 6 & 9, the T Hazel opened the picture with Teacher Abigail helps, and if the numbers 6 & 9 were pair they got a point.

NOTE: I REALLY LIKE THIS CLASS, IN MY OPINION I THINK THAT STUDENTS ENJOYED THE CLASS SO MUCH. EACH ACTIVITY THAT TEACHERS MADE WERE FUNNY AND APPROPIATE FOR KIDS. MOREOVER, THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT TEACHERS GAVE WERE CLEAR. GOOD CLASS :)
