Videoconference

October,30. Late night. We are speaking with students from Bob Greenberg's class, Terry Smith's class from the USA and then with the teacher of Livewires Carolyn Knight from New Zealand.
It was an exciting evening!
You see the flowers on the slides. We see snow on the ground at our place.
Speaking with our friends makes us feel happy. It warms our hearts. Our friendship makes the snow melt.

Playing monsters

Monster Project 2009

We started the project with the translation of the parts description.
Then students divided into small groups and began making the parts.
I’m an English teacher so I teach some classes. There were two 6th grade classes that made the monster. We had been making it for 6 lessons. There was much rubbish in the classroom. Everybody asked “What are you doing? What is it?” Every time I told about the project.
The monster is very beautiful.

Do you know Russian folk tales?

Our students attended the conference

October,8. We attended the conference for ELT. Our students had a good opportunity to enjoy a real english speech by Martyn Clarke -a professor from Great Britain.

Teachers' Day at our school.

October,5 is a day in our country when teachers are given honour to.Students and parents give flowers, cards and handmade souvenires to teachers.
This year our students were extraordinary. They invited all the teachers in one of the classroom on the third floor and asked to look through the window.
So we saw a big heart wich consisted of our students.
After the third lesson teachers became students and students(of 10-11 grades) became teachers. We had badges with our first names on them as Tanya (not Tatyana Ivanovna) Larisa, Natasha and so on. We attended lessons as students.
After the lessons we became teachers again (students asked us).

It was really exciting. Upsidedown day!
Do you have such holidays in your country, school?
