I am now, after more than 5 decades in the work force, officially semi-retired. New hobby: gardening. Old hobby restarting: table tennis. I still have some classes to teach and materials to design, many of which I will continue to share with the dear members of ESLPs. You may come across my materials on Facebook and my blog.

You can encourage y...

Read! Spell! Do! playing cards (30 cards) Adverbs and Adjectives 7
Well just one more to go, though I may make more in the future. Started late today, but wanted to finish before going to bed.

You will need the playing board, which is here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.as...
