Tips to Beat the Heat: Advice for Travelling & Living in a Hot Climate

Me in Thailand, a VERY HOT country! The Sun: Clearly an Enemy 1. Ultra-Hydrating Drinks Firstly drink lots of plain regular trusty WATER. Secondly, specialty drink such as this aloe vera juice with lime and honey as well as Pocari Sweat are VERY hydrating and tasty. Thirdly, the OS-1 is a drink specifically designed to combat DEHYDRATION! If you're suffering from heat exhaustion or even just sick with the flu, get this stuff!!! [ NOT a substitute for seeking medical help in cases of extreme heat stroke, etc.] 2. Cold Drinks Cold drinks are wonderful, but for every iced coffee or tea you enjoy, remember to drink additional water to compensate for the caffeine (a diuretic, which can also increase thirst). Bonus if your drink has ice cubes because you can suck on the ice and/or drink the melting ice water after your juice is finished. Even putting ice in beer is common in extremely hot countries. It also counteracts the effects of heat + alcohol

Adjectives

I asked my students to do a drawing representing each adjective and the results were AMAZING! They are all so talented and artistic!!! Here's what the front of the worksheet looks like: and here's the link!   (the formatting might look a bit weird, but try opening it up in Google Docs) and here's a link to the  "Adjectives Vocabulary Cards" PREVIEW 1 PREVIEW 2 and if you're looking for more vocabulary cards and teaching materials................ . .. .... ........ ................ ........ ....  ..  .           For  Favourite Things Vocabulary Cards  (and game templates), see HERE!!!

Classroom Transformation

Before and After Classroom Photos This weekend, I came in to the school to work on a little project I've envisioned for a while!  I bought this blue faux-marble-style craft paper for 17 baht/sheet and used 6 sheets to cover the wall area below the whiteboard. The results were better than I hoped for and I spent less than $5 US!!! Happy teaching!!! 🐿🌹🌼🐇🏵🌸🐥🌷🌼
