OUR FIRST CLASS

MY DEAR STUDENTS;

Welcome to class!!!
I was very anxious  to meet you for the first time, and I was not dissapointed at all!. Iam sure we will have a great time working together
In our first activity, we introduced ourselves. We enjoyed talking about your friends, school, music,likes and dislikes.I hope you liked the copy I gave you to  fill in with your details.You were supposed to complete the information for homework: I can not wait to see it back with a picture /drawing of you and yours!!
After the break; we made a revisión of the alphabet in order to be able to play hangman: summer holidays took your memory away!!we revised all vocabulary connected to internet and classroom activities: all that to play a game in group, but ,unfortunatelly,we did not manage the time.Next class, we will.
As I said before,can not wait to see your homework.hope you had a good time completing your files.
See you next class!
