Around the World!

In Ms. Pilar´s 5th grade English classes the students are working on a special project. The students work with their classmates in groups to do a project about a country. The students are researching Morocco, Canada, Germany and Australia.

The students must find information about their country´s language, famous people, animals, land forms, climate, typical food, monuments and places. Then, the students will present the information on a poster. Here are some pictures of the students working on their projects in class.

Learning the basics about food!

With the 2nd year class we learned about the basic foods. Vocabulary included banana, yogurt, milk, cereal, peas, pizza, ham, rice, orange, cheese, pasta and tuna. We cut a circle from a piece of white paper to make a plate. Then, the students drew pictures of our new food vocabulary on the paper plates. Students chose their favorite foods to draw. Here are some pictures of the students with their plates and pictures!

Learning about the House

In the 3rd year English class we are learning about the house. When learning about the house we will discuss vocabulary about the different rooms in a home (living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc...) and some common furniture that is in the house (toilet, shower, washing machine, bed, stove, refrigerator, sofa, table, etc...).
We will draw a map of our houses and compare them to our classmates' houses. What is the same and what is different?

I am from Pennsylvania. There is a very famous house in Pennsylvania called Fallingwater. It was built by one of the most famous American architects named Frank Lloyd Wright. It is a national historic landmark. It is built on top of a waterfall! Many people go to visit this house in the autumn because of the beautiful and colorful trees.

Houses are different around the world. There are many strange houses also! Here is a link to a web page that shows some of the strangest houses in the world: http://www.boredpanda.com/unusual-homes/
Would you like to live in any of these houses? Which is the strangest?
