Es muy importante para mí que mis alumnos se sientan emocionados de aprender a leer y reconocer las palabras de uso frecuente. He sido maestra de tercer grado y se lo importante que son estas palabras y lo difícil que es para los estudiantes cuando no pueden leer las palabras en tercer grado. Por eso como maestra de niños más pequeños he decidido que es una prioridad en mi salón. ¡Pero lo mejor de todo es que a mis alumnos les encantan! Mis alumnos saben lo que son las palabras de uso frecuente pero para divertirnos más las llamamos "Palabras Monstruo". Al principio del año (o cuando mis alumnos estén listos) presento las palabras monstruo con MUCHA emoción. Primero llega a mi salón el monstruo amarillo. Y explico que el monstruo amarillo tiene 10 palabras que ellos tienen que practicar y aprender. Una vez que sepan las 10 palabras del monstruo amarillo, celebraremos!! Mis alumnos reciben un pequeño premio y escribimos su nombre en el monstruo amarillo que tenemos en el pasillo de nuestro salón para que todos se sientan orgullosos de ellos. Mis estudiantes practican cuando terminan su trabajo, durante centros de lectura, y practicamos juntos todos los días. Una de mis cosas favoritas es ver a los alumnos ayudándose entre ellos mismos sin pedir mi ayuda. Muchas veces los he visto practicar juntos y los niños que están en un nivel más avanzado que sus compañeros los ayudan a pasar de nivel. ¡DOBLE práctica=maestra feliz! Mis alumnos tienen una carpeta (folder) donde documentan todo su progreso. El folder incluye una hoja de progreso y gráficas para cada monstruo. Después de cada evaluación, los alumnos colorean el número de palabras correctas en su gráfica. Cuando los alumnos completan la gráfica de un nivel pueden colorear el monstruo correspondiente en su hoja de progreso. Este folder ha sido una gran ayuda para mostrar a los padres de familia el avance de sus hijos. Ellos fácilmente pueden ver cuanto han avanzado sus hijos desde el principio del año. También es una herramienta excelente para demostrar el avance de tus alumnos durante tu evaluación como maestro(a). Folders con portada y gráficas Hojas de progreso En mi salón celebramos el esfuerzo y progreso de muchas maneras. Cuando un alumno termina un nivel de palabras, ¡toda la clase aplaude y celebra! Escribimos el nombre de ese estudiante en el monstruo que esta en el pasillo y el estudiante recibe un pequeño premio. Aquí están los premios que utilizamos en nuestra clase: Monstruo amarillo: lápiz de monstruo Monstruo rojo: tatuaje temporal de monstruo Monstruo azul: juguete de monstruo Monstruo verde: pelota de monstruo Monstruo morado: paleta de monstruo Monstruo café: juguete de monstruo Monstruo anaranjado: juguete de monstruo Monstruo azul fuerte: pato monstruo Monstruo gris: monstruo de peluche Monstruo rosa: vaso de monstruo Estos son los monstruos que utilizamos afuera del salón y escribimos el nombre de los niños cuando pasan a un nivel nuevo de palabras. En mi salón utilizamos tarjetas para practicar en arillos como estos. Simplemente plastifico las tarjetas, las perforo y las coloco en un anillo. Yo tengo 4 arillos de cada color de palabras (especialmente de los primeros dos niveles). Así aseguro que tengamos suficientes para los alumnos que quieran practicar. También utilizo estas listas de palabras. Estas listas las llevan los alumnos a su casa para practicar con su familia. Cada clase y cada alumno es diferente. Lo mejor de este programa de palabras es que lo puedes adaptar a tus necesidades. Durante algunos años escolares mis alumnos necesitan retos más difíciles porque la mayoría están listos para ellos. Otros años mis alumnos toman más tiempo en cada lista de palabras. Pero eso no me preocupa. Siempre y cuando mis alumnos avancen semana tras semana yo soy feliz! La rúbrica para determinar si tus alumnos están listos o no para el siguiente nivel depende de ti y tus expectativas completamente. En mi salón los alumnos pasan de nivel cuando puedan leer las 10 palabras con fluidez (menos de dos segundos por palabra). He tenido estudiantes que necesitan un reto más grande. Para ellos ajusto el programa y para pasar de nivel deben de escribir las palabras correctamente. No siempre. Como lo mencioné anteriormente, todas las clases son diferentes. Algunas clases ya tienen la capacidad de aprender todas las listas. Otras no, pero ese no es problema! Solo utilizo las listas que considero apropiadas para mis alumnos. Si tienes alguna pregunta en como utilizar las palabras monstruo no dudes en contactarme! ¡Lo más importante es que tus alumnos estén emocionados y motivados para aprender todas las palabras de uso frecuente!
Are you on the hunt for quotes on bilingual education to inspire your students to embrace bilingualism? Look no further! I've got a list of amazing quotes
Are you a new Dual language teacher? Welcome! I hope you'll find this tips helpful! This post may contain affiliate links. It might seem obvious, duh I'm a teacher of course I have to be patient! It is so different when you have a room full of kiddos who are learning a language. You will give directions and some students will give you a blank stare because they have no idea what just happened. Let me tell you, when teaching language learners, you will have to find the patience you didn't know you had. Speaking to a group of kids who are learning a language will not be easy. You will become more and more creative to get your point across. When you feel like you're about to lose it, take a deep breath and remember you can do this! Wether you're a one or two-teacher model, work with your colleagues whenever it's possible. It will make your life easier! It will lessen your work load and you might find a good teacher friend to go out with on Fridays! Plan together, help each other and share ideas. Dual language works better when all teachers are working as a team!! If you're lucky enough to have your district give you a scope and sequence or a pacing guide you've hit the jackpot! Read it! Learn it! Use it! If your district does not provide one, look at your standards and try mapping out one or two weeks. This is also when #2 comes into place, work with your team. Divide up the load and collaborate. I know this might seem dumb but my first year teaching I bought a planner that I didn't really use because I didn't like it. I refused to buy a new one because I didn't want to spend again but I wish I had. Planners are not just about having pretty paper to write with. Your planner will become your bible. Take it to all faculty and grade level meetings. This is my favorite planner. I have been using it for two years now and I love how flexible it is to my needs. I can add pages, folders, and don't even get me started on the cute stickers and washi tape! I know you probably already heard in all your college classes that it takes YEARS to acquire a new language. Your students will not become 100% fluent in a year. The Dual Language program takes time. However, if you stay true to the program, follow the guidelines and don't give up when you're working on a target language you WILL see results and progress. Use visuals, gestures, peer discussions, sentence stems, etc. It will be difficult at the beginning but your students WILL learn the language. Do not be afraid to ask for help. You will need to reach out to someone MANY times during the school year. Veteran teachers still ask for help. No one will think less of you because you are asking for help. I'm also here to help!! If you need help finding a resource, setting up centers or need classroom advice, contact me and I'll be happy to help! If you feel the urge to prepare over the summer (also completely ok if you're not), begin by making a list of the must-have resources you will need in your classroom (word walls, schedule, rules,objectives, etc..)That will give you time to THEN move on to the cutesy wants. Some BONUS tips from fellow dual language teachers: "Lots and lots of patience. They're will be a lot of changes your 2nd year and every year after." - Veronica "Get your hands on the curriculum and study it well. Make sure you have a print rich environment in BOTH languages!" - Janie "Love your students as much as you can! It encourages and comforts them in what can be a very stressful process." - Adriana Good luck! Remember we are here to help <3 SaveSave
