Sesotho Home Language - Term 1 - Week 5

Today, we will explore new words that describe our feelings and actions. We will read a short story together and identify words that express emotions like happiness, sadness, and excitement. Understanding these words will help us communicate better with others.

Let's take the word 'happy'. I will show you how to use it in a sentence. For example, 'I am happy when I play with my friends.' Now, let's think of other words we can use in sentences. How about 'sad'? We can say, 'I feel sad when it rains.'

Now, I will give you a few words: 'excited', 'angry', and 'tired'. In pairs, create sentences using these words. Remember to use correct punctuation at the end of your sentences. After a few minutes, we will share our sentences with the class.

For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph about your favorite day. Use at least three vocabulary words we learned today. Make sure to check your work for correct punctuation and spacing. Once you finish, you can draw a picture that represents your favorite day.
