Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Today is an important day in United States. It's a national holiday and people spend the day with their families and it is traditional to roast a turkey with stuffing inside.
We will talk about it and we will learn some vocabulary today.

 For ending, I want to take a moment to thank all of your support, whether it is helping children, following this English blog or giving your support to me. 
It means so much for this English teacher!
So, although this tradition is not a catalan one, 
I wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving!

Believe in yourself

One more time, and after some hard days...
I think that it is very important to be confident and believe in yourself. 
Then, you can do anything.
Never, never give up!

Matching emotions

Personal pronouns game

Students roll a dice and name the pronoun they land on. If it's a picture, they say which pronoun it represents and find it on the board. If it's a word, they read it and show the corresponding picture. There can be many other ways to use the game - just follow your imagination.
