Culture note: Texting on cell phones
Texting is a popular way for American children to communicate with their friends. They can text a friend to invite
him/her to a party and get a quick answer back. However, schools do not permit texting during class time. And some
people think that too much texting causes children to be poor spellers because they use too many abbreviations. For
example, CUB4class means “See you before class” – which is clear in spoken language, but it is not the correct way to
spell in formal writing. Children should be reminded to differentiate between the two “languages” – formal vs.
informal – and spell accordingly.

Introduction
Weather report: Ask the class about today’s weather.
Song: Play a warm-up song.
Warmer

 If he/she gets the correct answer, complete the word on the board and give the team a point. If the child guesses
incorrectly, Team B gets a point.

karaoke party. It was great! We sang all our favorite songs. Grandma and Grandpa sang old songs, and Dad made a DVD.
2 Quang I’m Quang. Last Sunday, I had a pizza party in a restaurant near my house. We ate pizza and my mom said we
could have ice cream, too, because it was my birthday. My mom took lots of photos. This morning, I sent an email to my
friends to say thank you for coming to my party.
3 Lam Hi. I’m Lam. On May 8th, I had a swimming party at Dam Sen Park. There were eight children. We had some races.
The winner was my friend Vinh. I came in third. After swimming, we went to a café, and I blew out the candles on my cake.
Then everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. It was a great day.
