English Book Chapter 3: Workers

This week the Green Class have been learning about different kinds of jobs: doctor, dentist, police officer, fire fighter, teacher, astronaut, builder (PYP unit on houses), and artist. The children each drew a picture and told me what they wanted to be when they are older. Many of them can say "I want to be a ..."
 
The children also worked in small groups to create posters representing what each job does. Here are some pictures:

PYP unit 2: Houses


This week the Green class spent a lot of time learning about the PYP unit on houses. We made Teepee’s and learned where they come from and who lived in them. We also made igloos and talked about where they are built. We also studied the story Little Red Riding Hood. The children then completed an exercise where they had to decide if an animal or person was in the story or not. We also learned prepositions this week: on, under, in front of, and behind. The homework this week focuses on learning these prepositions.

In the English book we are now on chapter 3, learning about workers: doctor, police officer, fireman, astronaut, artist, and dentist. The children have only started to study this vocabulary and unit so homework next week will include this vocabulary.

Here are some pictures from our Igloo making:

What do you like?

We are doing a review from last year of "I like" and "I don't like". For the children that know this, they will learn new vocabulary and how to ask "what do you like?".
