I really don't like mathematics much...

I invented a new game for my half-day class to build sentences by using a simple 4-5 word sentence with their voc. and they have the chance to add one word as long as it's still a sentence. They are about 9-10 years old and most of them are smart. The voc. word was mathematics and the sentence was "I really don't like mathematics" and one of my students was smart enough to put "much" after mathematics. That's a really hard concept for them to learn with quantites especially since mathematics is an uncountable noun. They really proved to me today that they knew their English when they said "likes learning" instead of "likes to learning." Little concepts like that are hard for non-native English speakers and these students really got their grammar. We made a 4-5 word sentence into a 44 word sentence lol I was pretty happy to see that!

Then later I played a voc. battleship game with my most advanced class, A-11, since it was their last day since they had their final test and now will be A-12. It was such a nice, relaxing day that I'm not cringing for tomorrow and I'm not as tired :)
