El blog para aprender inglés: Cómo hacer sugerencias en inglés - Making suggestions
Existen varias estructuras que podemos utilizar para hacer sugerencias en inglés. Básicamente, con pequeñas variaciones, las que prácticamente cualquier libro de texto o gramática de nivel intermedio suele recoger son las siguientes: 1. How about / What about + verbo terminado en "-ing": How about going to the cinema tonight? 2. Let's + base form: Let's go to the cinema! 3. 4. 5. A la vista de algunas de estas estructuras, parece evidente que no todas podrán traducirse literalmente... Porque, por ejemplo, las oraciones de los ejemplos 3 y 4 son sencillas. Normalmente, y es lógico, nos cuesta mucho más aprender aquellas estructuras que no podemos traducir literalmente. Si yo digo "how about going to the cinema?"... "Y si vamos al cine?" "¿Qué te parece si vamos al cine?" "¿Te hace un cine?" Cualquiera de esta opciones sería perfectamente válida como equivalente a "How about". Por otra parte, existen otras fórmulas para hacer sugerencias. 5 - Un nuevo enlace de Oxford University Press.
Introduction to Coordinate Graphing
Introduce elementary students to coordinate graphing through seasonal coloring activities. The fall Jack-O-Lantern activity requires students to use the grid code and crayons or markers to create a jack-o-lantern on a blank 9x9 grid. The use of letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis introduces young students to coordinate pairs without the confusion of the standard (h,v) format. Notice that it is important that elementary students become accustomed to listing the horizontal coordinate first as this will transfer to the Cartesian coordinates they will use in later grades.

Kid Conversation Starters - All Pro Dad : All Pro Dad
Sometimes being a dad is just tough. I recently had a real talk with my 8-year-old son about a kid who was trying to bully him. I don’t know if my advice was the best, but I believe it opened the door for deeper conversations in the future. You may be there, too. The time for a difficult conversation may be now. It could be the “birds and the bees” or it could be about hanging out with the wrong crew. When are you (or have been) most afraid? Click to download our printable version.
