Young Learners 3: An expressive and curious group

This winter Young Learners 3 spent a lot of time working on their pronunciation and expression in English. They practiced reading Dr. Seuss books with expression in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. Each student chose a story and practiced reading 1 to 2 minutes of text aloud to the rest of the class.

Later the class discussed the activity and the stories. They said that Dr Seuss stories “seem a little…silly, but they have important lessons.” They also said that Dr. Seuss invented words and funny characters.

On the last day of class, the students did a short skit of the classic story “Chicken Little.” The Kids' Club students were the audience and everyone had a good time. The kids prepared their own costumes and face paints, and they did a great job! We hope to have a video to post soon!

This quarter the students also had fun playing with the Magic 8 Ball. This is a "toy" from the US that can tell your future! As the class was learning about asking questions with will and going to, they asked the Magic 8 Ball questions such as, “Will I have a big house in the future?” or “Am I going to be a designer?” As the Magic 8 Ball only speaks English, the students got a lot of practice!

It was a great, active trimester. What will Young Learners 3 get up to in Spring? Read all about it here!

This term the Young Learners 3 students spent a lot of time improving their pronunciation and speaking skills. They practiced through stories of the great Dr. Seuss in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. Each student chose a story and a reading lasting one or two minutes was prepared to read to the rest of the classmates.

They later discussed the Dr. Seuss stories, commenting that although they seem a bit “silly,” they have very important lessons. They also noted that Dr. Seuss invented many original phrases and characters.

On the last day of school, the students acted out the story of “Chicken Little” for the Kids' Club students. YL 3 prepared everything: props, face painting…and they did it brilliantly. We hope to have a video to post here soon!

Throughout the term, they also had fun playing with the “Magic 8 Ball,” who sees the future! Of course, you can only ask questions in English, such as "Will I have a big house in the future?" or “Am I going to be a designer?”

It has been a busy quarter. What will they do in spring? You can read it all here!
