TODAY IN CLASS : FEBRUARY 9, 2010

WE HAVE STARTED ON “PREPOSITIONS”

 Prepositions are a part of  UNIT 6, and I wanted to help students learn prepositions more clearly than what we have in the book.  I have given them more examples and worksheets to help them understand when to use “prepositions”

4A : HOMEWORK : FINSIH YOUR WORKSHEET

4B: NO HOMEWORK : The copy machine was not working, and I was not able to print worksheets.  Review your notes, we will do the exercises on the worksheet tomorrow in class!

IN CLASS : IN THEIR ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK : WE LEARNED THAT THE “PREPOSITIONS OF LOCATION” TELLS US WHERE SOMETHING IS! 

We did an exercise called “Where is the apple?”

We drew an apple BETWEEN two glasses of water (BETWEEN and IN THE MIDDLE are Prepositions)

Then we drew an apple ON TOP of a book (ON and ON TOP are prepositions)

Then we drew an apple INSIDE a glass (IN and INSIDE are prepositions)

After introducing these prepositions with pictures, we wrote a list of some other prepositions.

THIS IS THE LIST OF PREPOSITIONS THAT I WANT STUDENTS TO STUDY:

1.      1.   ABOVE

2.  2.    AROUND

3.  3.    INSIDE

4.  4.   OUTSIDE

5.  5.   BETWEEN
