ENGLISH ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2020

Good morning everyone!

We hope you are all well on this Wednesday, March 25, 2020.

Instead of offering new material today, we just wanted to remind you of the resources that you should already be using to practice English.  Here is a list of the things you should be working on:

  1. English workbooks (1 page / day)
  2. Liveworksheets (do any unfinished worksheets and check back daily, or every two day for new worksheets or renewed worksheets.) Any grade below a 7 is renewed.
  3. VERY IMPORTANT: Please take a moment this week to write down your questions and doubts about your work to date so that we can answer them via video classes next week! Please, write them down as you are likely to forget them by the time we have class!
  4. The activities and videos on the blog. You can also do those activities for the class ahead of you or one year below you.
  5. And of course, we know many of you are getting extra “screen-time” these days, whether it is on a computer or a television. How about challenging yourself by watching your favorite show in English?  On your TVs and computers you can probably can use either Spanish or English subtitles.  We suggest watching a show or film that you are already familiar with in English. That will help you focus on listening to the language for the story, instead of worrying that you will miss something!
  6. And, of course, please keep writing to us at our English department email and keep commenting on the blog!

Stay safe and be well!

Manolo and Lindley

¡Buenos días a todos!

Esperamos que estáis bien este miércoles 25 de marzo de 2020.

En lugar de ofrecer material nuevo hoy, solo queremos recordaros de los recursos que ya deberíais estar usando para practicar inglés. Aquí hay una lista de las cosas que hay que estar trabajando:

  1. Cuadernillos de inglés (1 página / día)
  2. Hojas de trabajo liveworksheets (haz las hojas de trabajo sin terminar y vuelva a consultar diariamente, o cada dos días para ver las fichas nuevas o renovadas). Cualquier nota por debajo de un 7 se renueva.
  3. MUY IMPORTANTE: ¡Toma un momento esta semana para escribir vuestras preguntas y dudas sobre vuestro trabajo hasta la fecha para que podamos responderlas a través de clases de video la semana que viene! ¡Por favor, escríbalos ya que es probable que los olvidáis para cuando tengamos clase!
  4. Las actividades y videos en el blog. También podías hacer las actividades del curso un año por debajo o por adelante.
  5. Y, por supuesto, sabemos que muchos de vosotros tenéis mas «tiempo de pantalla» que nunca estos días, ya sea en un ordenador o en la tele. ¿Qué te parece desafiarte viendo tu programa favorito en inglés? En la tele, tanto como en ordenado, podáis poner subtítulos en español o inglés. Os proponemos ver un programa o película con el que ya estés familiarizado en inglés. ¡Eso te ayudará a concentrarte en escuchar el idioma, en lugar de preocuparte de que te pierdas algo!
  6. Y, por supuesto, ¡escríbanos a nuestro correo electrónico del departamento de inglés y siga comentando en el blog!

¡Esperamos que estáis todos sanos y felices!

Manolo y Lindley

­­DON’T GIVE UP –  by: Bruno Mars

When you want/wants to do something that’s new
And it seem/seems really, really hard to do
You feel/feels like quitting, you feel/feels you’re through
Well I have/has some advice for you

If you want/wants to catch a ball
But you’re having no luck at all
The ball hit/hits your head, it hit/hits your nose
It hit/hits your belly, your chin and toes
Well, try and try and try again
Keep on trying and soon end
You put/puts your hands out in the air
You’ll catch the ball
Yes this I swear/swears

You got yourself roller skates
You put/puts them on and you feel/feels great
You stand/stands up, then you fall/falls,
Don’t think you can skate at all
You get/gets back up, then you trip/trips,
You skip/skips and tip/tips and slip/slips, and flip/flips
You try/tries and try/tries and try/tries some more
And soon you’re skating across the floor

Happy Monday.

All the best,

Teacher and Lindley

 

 

 

 

 

Can you type?

Good morning everyone! Congratulations on nearly completing your first week telecommuting  or «working from home.»

Reminder: Please look at liveworksheets.com. We have renewed worksheets with a mark of 7 or lower, and we have added more worksheets, including weekly reviews!  Stay motivated!  Do a self test!

We are sure there have been unexpectedly wonderful parts of working from home and some complicated ones too.  Since it is Friday, we wanted to leave you not with more homework, but with a link to practice a life skill that you may need more than ever in this new world order.

TYPING =MECANOGRAFÍA

We figure it is easier to work on a computer if you know how to write properly.  Learning to type is fun, and it makes writing on a computer faster and more accurate.

So, here is a picture that shows you how to position your hands on the «home row.»  This is the line of letters in the middle of a keyboard (teclado) where you keep your hands to type.  If you click on the picture, you will go to a link IN SPANISH to help you learn the basics of typing.

Here is a video to help you:

After you learn the basics, we think you´ll have fun challenging yourselves with these typing GAMES.  For those of you who play lots of video games, you might already have great finger control!

Juegos.  Pincha aquí:

Start to play, and leave us a comment on the blog to let us know how your typing skills progress! Have fun!

Enjoy your weekend! Play, exercise and spend time with your family!

We´ll be back in touch on Monday and we look forward to reading your comments and messages!

All the best, stay well!

English in the Time of Corona Virus

Sorry, bad take on Gabriel Garcia Márquez´s title Love in the Time of Cholera….

Nonetheless, the world has not stopped turning, and this too shall pass, so while we are all at home, let’s take advantage of our free time to review and continue to practice all that we are learning in English.

By the time we are back together at school, hopefully, you will have reviewed and practiced any concepts that we have learned or that are difficult for you!  To help you with that, we have new exercises on liveworksheets and we will continue to add them.  Also, we will be posting video lessons and activities on the blog, so please keep checking it. If you have questions or doubts, comment to us on the blog.

Meanwhile, go wash your hands!

Stay in your house, take care of the people you love and stay well!  Take the weekend off, and check this space for work on Monday.

We’ll teach virtually for a while, and we´ll see you on the flip side!

All our best,

Lindley and Manolo

Bueno chicos y chicas, el mundo no se ha parado , esto es solamente un pequeño intermedio en nuestras vidas, así que mientras estamos en casa, vamos a aprovechar para repasar , aprender y practicar   inglés.

Durante este tiempecito que estarás en casita y hasta que nos volvamos a ver en nuestro Colegio, habrás repasado y practicado cualquier concepto y tema en inglés que hemos estudiado juntos y quizás era un poco difícil para tí.  Para ayudarte, además de los cuadernillos de inglés , tenemos que mirar en www.Liveworksheets.com , donde tendrás nuevas actividades para practicar y mantener al día tu inglés.  También habrá entradas en el Blog con nuevos videos.  Así que por favor,  no se te  olvide comprobar diariamente estos dos recursos.

Mientras tanto, lavate las manos muchas veces.

Cuidate y cuida de las personas que amas, escondete en tu casa.

Estamos en contacto contigo virtualmente.

Te deseamos todo lo mejor.

Lindley y  Teacher.
