Entrance/ Exit slips are great warm ups for the beginning of class or as a closer at the end. They give students the opportunity to show what they know and can be used for either formative or summative assessment purposes. This set of 55 entrance/exit slips for SPANISH CLASS feature primarily open ended questions, allowing students to express their opinions, preferences, or share personal information. Open ended questions are also great in that they are accessible for all levels of learners in your class- less capable students might write a simple answer while more capable ones may add more detail or use additional vocabulary, which in turn provides differentiation right within the task. PRINTING NOTE: TpT recommends your computer system be fully updated for best printing results. Includes: *55 entrance/exit slips *Ideas for using slips *Rubric which can be used for assessment purposes See also: Task Cards Set of 36 Mundo de Pepita features a series of mini books and activities you can print out and distribute to your students or children. Great for teaching vocabulary and simple concepts in Spanish, each book features adorable original illustrations and simple story lines..perfect for young learners!

This Elementary Technology Curriculum includes over 200 lessons and activities for grades K-5 that will save you so much time coming up with what to do in the computer lab. It is ideal for a technology teacher, media specialist, tech facilitator, or grade level teachers with mandatory lab time. All of the work is done for you! This is for you if: You want students who can log in, access any programs, type efficiently, and use technology to learn. You want students who are confident in using the technology required for standardized testing. You have limited time– in one 45 minute session per week, your students can develop technology literacy while completing engaging projects. You need it to be effortless for YOU and fun for your students. My name is Brittany Washburn and I’m an educator obsessed with ed tech. This curriculum was created over 3 school years when I had nothing for materials for my technology specials. I was spending my nights and weekends scouring Pinterest and Google for ideas because I knew my students deserved engaging lessons even if I had to do everything from scratch. I found myself exhausted and frustrated and just knew there had to be an easier way. That is when I discovered the magic of having my own class website and screencasting my instructions. I created a modified-flipped-classroom before I even knew that was a thing. Students were working at their own pace and they stopped asking me to repeat instructions. I felt like I had struck gold! I tested and perfected the activities with them and now I’ve made them available to you!
I teach this story with TPRS®, a method developed by Blaine Ray. This story provides input that is comprehensible, engaging, and carefully structured to include lots of repetition. I have been using TPRS® in my classes since 2007 and have found it to be a highly successful method for learning languages. I have used TPRS® with preschool through adult classes and have found that learners of all ages are captivated by stories. This is one of the first stories I teach to beginning Spanish students. It has a limited vocabulary and colorful pictures to help students fully understand the target language. This story will work best with students in elementary and middle school. In this story, a family has a cat and a fish. The cat and the fish are not friends; the cat wants to eat the fish. The cat comes up with a plan. . . . When I am reading this story to the whole class, I project it on a Promethean Board from my computer. (Many PDF viewers have the option to "view as slideshow".) I also print out several copies, laminate them, and keep them as part of our classroom library. If students finish their work early, they can go to the library and check out a book. I also incorporate regular reading time in our class periods so all students can review the stories we have already learned. This zip file includes: - El gato y el pez story (in color) - Story cards (without text) - A parallel story from the perspective of the fish. This story is great for practicing verbs in the yo form. If you would like to teach multiple stories that build on each other, this is the order I recommend. I will continue to update this list as I create more stories for my students this year: 1) Isabel va a la escuela 2) Me duele 3) La familia 4) El gato y el pez 5) El señor Pacheco (Weather and Seasons Bundle) 6) Quiero hacer ejercicio 7) ¡No me gusta! 8) ¡Está lloviendo! (Weather and Seasons Bundle) 9) ¡Tengo frío! 10) La abuela y la serpiente (Weather and Seasons Bundle) 11) Mono, mono ¿adónde vas? 12) El pirata 13) La maleta de Gloria (Clothing Bundle) 14) Pobre Nico (Clothing Bundle) 15) El oso duerme (Weather and Seasons Bundle) 16) Los tres osos 17) ¿Dónde está Bigotes? (House Bundle) 18) Peluso tiene hambre (House Bundle) 19) La tortuga 20) ¿Qué tiempo hace, oso polar? (Weather and Seasons Bundle) 21) La ropa (Clothing Bundle) 22) Sebastián va a las montañas (Clothing Bundle) 23) El ratón (House Bundle) 24) El perro perdido 25) El collar robado (Clothing Bundle) 26) ¡La casa se quema! (House Bundle) 27) El robo NOTE: This story is sold in PDF format. I have received some requests to put these stories in PowerPoint format. However, many of the artists who create educational clipart specify that the clipart must be locked down in a PDF file, as this secures the file images. Some PDF viewing programs have the option to "view as slideshow", which looks very similar to a PowerPoint presentation. Other programs have the option to view as full screen or full page. This is how I use the PDF files in my class. The following vocabulary is used in this story: hay una familia, la familia un gato, el gato un pez, el pez un plan amigos la oreja el fin nuevo(a) contento(a) dice tiene mira salta le muerde está quiere comer son no y

Whether your lesson plans are detailed multi-page documents submitted to your administration each week, or they’re mostly post-it notes with concise bullet points, effective lesson planning requires strategy and intent. Great lessons need clear direction, purpose, pacing, and solid pedagogy. (Side note: If you are looking for engaging step-by-step lesson plans for the ELA classroom – especially for sub plans – check out my ELA Lessons Bundle with over 60 individual plans). While planning such successful, well-balanced, dynamic lessons takes time (think of all those observation lessons), if you get into a strong habit of working through a few key steps, it simplifies the whole process. And, as with all habits: the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Soon you internalise the steps and find yourself doing them without even realising it. Below are the four simple steps - G.A.D.E - I go through in my mind every time I plan a lesson. Do I always write them out in detail? Nope, but I still always work through them as I plan. What do you want students to be able to do, know, or understand by the end of the lesson? The most effective way to plan a route for a journey, is to start with knowing where you are trying to get to, right? Instruction is most effective when you, and your students, have a firm idea of the goal. When they know what they are working towards, the lesson is far more purposeful. Your goal should be able to be expressed in a single sentence or two: the more focused it is, the easier it is for students to digest and understand. I even suggest writing this on the board at the start of the lesson, for students to be able to see and reference. Examples of Goals: - Students will understand the impact of varying sentence patterns, in term of creating tone. - Having read chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby, students will be able to explain how an author develops a character in a narrative through the use of indirect characterization. - Students will be able to effectively back up their thoughts and ideas with appropriate textual evidence. [Grab a free lesson plan template here] How are you going to break down the substance of the lesson, to help students reach the goal? This is the nuts and bolts of the lesson: the lecture, activities, exercises, etc. Ask yourself: What are the most effective methods to help guide students to the goal: A lecture? A group discussion? A reading exercise? Worksheet practice? A video? A writing exercise? Station work? The key here is breaking the lesson down into varied, manageable chunks: rarely should you plan a 60 minute lesson with just one single activity. You want to think about dividing the class up into 10-20 minute segments with varied activities and modes of learning: all geared towards the overall goal. [Check out Room213's helpful blog post on how to build in time for productive struggle when lesson planning.] Examples of Segments for a 60 minute lesson: 5 min: Provocation - some sort of hook for the lesson to pre-test knowledge, or incite intrigue and interest. 10 min: Paired work 15 min: Teacher-led lecture and discussion 20 min: Individual work to practice a skill 10 min: Reflection and assessment of learning How will you, and your students, know if they have achieved the goal? This does not always have to be a large assessment task: that would perhaps be a unit goal. However, you should be able to place small milestones in every lesson to assess whether or not students are gaining knowledge, or developing their skills, and this need to be intentional. It may be a summative assessment task, but in the daily lesson it would likely be formative assessment. This should be a conscious decision when planning the lesson. Examples of Opportunities for Demonstrations of Learning: - Ask strategic questions: “How do you know that? Why did you write that?” - Use exit slips - Have students produce something which requires them to use what they have learned - Anonymous class polls or quizzes (or Kahoots!) - Self-reflections or evaluations - Written work / Projects What do you physically need to do, to facilitate the learning? Once you know the purpose of the lesson, and have a firm understanding of the activities and elements of the lesson, think about what you need to do to prepare. While this might be gathering resources, photocopying, finding passages, etc., it also should be about the space of the classroom: how best to facilitate the most effective lesson for your purpose. Think about desk layout, visual displays, seating arrangements, etc. Example of Environmental Elements - Move the desks into groups / pairs / individual etc. - Print, layout and organize materials - Have a specific song playing which relates to the lesson, for when students enter. - Create spaces around the room for station work or gallery walks etc. FREE TEMPLATES: If you are looking for a template for lesson planning: Click here to access a FREE editable Google Docs template (just go to “File” and “Make a Copy” to save the document to your own drive for editing).
