Greetings students and parents of the third class. This weeks lesson theme is having fun outside plus sports and actions. The song "Outside" is fun to sing but I teach the kids that basketball is not boring, it's exciting. I am looking forward to seeing the students back at school next week. Thanks again and take care, Mark

Greetings students and parents of the 2nd class. For this weeks lesson I have posted two English songs from Barefoot Books. When you click the "Vollbild" (fullscreen) box and not You Tube you can see the videos here without any ads.       I haven't given any worksheets this week but I do want the children to sing/read along to the lyrics for "Outdoor Opposites" as they watch the video. If you look down the Padlet at the weeks we had before in February and March you can see how much we accomplished in these last two months.
Thank you and take care, Mark

Greetings parents and students of the second class. This weeks lesson is in two parts. The first is a story for the kids to watch and enjoy. The second part has two worksheets, which should be printed out so the students can write the words on them and also colour on the second worksheet. I have recorded the instructions for the children and the students should listen to me as they work through the task. We are learning not only vocabulary but also spelling and I am spelling out each word for them. If the instructions are too fast then please just press pause. At this point in the second year we really concentrate on building our vocabulary and the correct spelling. Take care, Mark

Normally each week in class I read a short story with the children. They do not understand every word at first but over time they do. This is a nice story for the kids and many words they will understand and a few the won't but they will understand the story. Enjoy.

Greetings Parents and students of the second class. I have posted an activity here called "What is it?" This is an activity from Cambridge English. Click on the link below to open a new window. Click on "next" to begin and
answer the question, then click "submit" and then "continue".  Don't worry you can turn down the annoying sound. The kids will enjoy this once they understand how it works on the computer. These are simple questions or sometime a yes or no about an animal that is being named something it is not. Enjoy it with your kids! Take care, Mark

Greetings Parents of the second class and welcome to the year Twenty twenty-one! As we are still not singing in school I would like for the students to learn this song at home. "Yes, Please" has a few  words that need to be explained such as want or cookies, as for the rest of the words the students already know them. I want the students to sing this song while reading the lyrics, it would be best if you could print the lyrics out for them to hold in their hands. It is amazing how quickly a student will learn to read in another language through singing. Hopefully we will be able to sing once again in school before the school year is over. I have not given the students a worksheet this week because we will be spelling food words together in class next week which is the second part of learning this song.
Thank you & take care, Mark

Greetings parents of the second class. Since it is December 1st and we are not singing at school, I am sharing Christmas songs with each class. This is a simple song and if you want to share something more with your children Jingle Bells is on the 1st class Padlet and Rudolph is on the 3rd class Padlet. I am looking forward to seeing the children back at school next week.
Take care, Mark

Greetings Parents, I hope we all find ourselves well again this week. If this is your first visit to the "English With Mark" Padlet please scroll down and take a look at last weeks lesson. This weeks lesson is a new song and a "sort of" a test for your children on the "Find the word!" worksheet.( I wrote an explanation under it.) The song "Awesome Animals" is the other half of this weeks lesson. Please print out the lyrics that I have posted here and if that is not possible please allow your children to read the lyrics from the computer as they sing. As I have said before singing these songs with the words in front of them is the fastest way to learn to read in English. One other thing, there is no need to send back the finished worksheets at this time. Just have your children bring them back with them when we return to the classroom. We will be talking about each of the worksheets and making sure that all of the students are clear about the meaning in the songs.
Thank you & take care, Mark

This is a bit of a test for the students that I always use in this week. Just because they are at home doesn't mean that they can't do it. We would normally read all three words aloud and it would be great if you could do this with your children also. We always have a lot of fun with this lesson and you should too. The two confusing words towards the end I have marked to bring your attention to them and to clear up any more confusion that is a picture of a village and not a villa.
Thanks & good luck!

Greetings Parents! The first lesson in of our home school lessons (17.11.20) is the song "Day By Day" and one simple worksheet about saying the time with "o'clock". Both the lyrics and worksheet are in PDF form for download and printing. If this is not possible then please allow your child to view the lyrics on the computer as they sing along. If you scroll further down the Padlet you will find all of the other lessons we have done so far this year. There is also the song "Our Classroom" with printable lyrics. Please let your child listen and sing this song once again at home (with lyrics please).  We have been working a lot on learning new words as you can see by looking at the earlier worksheets.  Thanks, take care & stay healthy!
Mark

The lyrics are listed below for the children to sing along. This is the easiest way to learn to read in a second language and why I concentrate on songs so much. Unfortunately we haven't been able to sing in school these past couple of weeks and the bright side of home schooling is that the children can sing again. I must stress though that it is important that the students read the words as they sing.

# data[].attributes.body
The above worksheet contains the lyrics for the song "Day By Day"
The worksheet below is about writing the correct time. For example: Number 1 would be written four o`clock and not 4 o'clock. We have been learning about number words this year.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an exercise sheet which goes with the song. We also review shapes as we find the hidden word to show what we are doing. This is the actual introduction of "ing" into the students vocabulary. We also do some funny tounge twisters at the end of the lesson.

A fun way of learning words and pronouncing the letters correctly. These exercises really encourage the students because they can see how much that they already know and understand.

This is the planned curriculum for the second class. Not all weeks will be in the same order of the lesson plan because it is good to be flexible and I have changed the order a little. This is what your children are learning over the course of the school year with me.
