IDEA BOX on Pinterest Ian is going into 3rd grade and this is the curriculum we'll be using coming school year. Take a trip around the world and explore diverse countries and cultures while learning geography and being challenged by true stories of missionaries. Our easy-to-teach unit study includes a teacher's manual with daily lesson plans and all books for Bible, geography, science, art, and music. Supplement these with picture books and information books from the library for the countries you study. Add math and language arts for a complete curriculum. (My Fathers' World ECC) I think it's super fun!! Here is my plan and some simple add-ons. Spelling: Spelling Power English Language Primary Language Lessons (continued from last year) After every country, will print a letter paper with country icon on and child will write a letter. Math Singapore Math (finish 2A fr last year, maybe 2B and a bit of 3A?) Music Wee Sing around the world Bible We'll be reading through Matthew and memorizing verses from there. We'll be using copywork from here And we'll be using this very useful app for reinforcing bible memory (I added the ECC verses as "My Verses") AND, I made a bookmark for all the verses to read for Matthew. This way, I may ask boy to do his devotions using this bible reading plan.(this pic is not updated. I did add in the missing alpha) Mother Tongue (Foreign Language) I'll rather call Mandarin Chinese our Mother Tongue, than F.L. Just to make me feel better. =) After a lot of thinking, struggling, we have decided that the children need to learn ZhuYin after all. ZhuYin because it's a different set of characters and will not be confused with the Roman letters of Hanyu Pinyin. (I am not ZhuYin trained though, so I'll have to learn on my own) And we need to learn ZhuYin so that the children can start reading right away. In this way, they will be willing to learn Chinese easier, instead of learning to read many many characters before they can read. I found a great resource here for learning the Chinese Phonetics (ZhuYin) And this blog has a great pictorial flashcards/worksheets free for printing! Between these two sites (and some wonderful friends) I should be able to teach the kids (AND ME) ZhuYin, in preparation for reading and learning Chinese characters! I'm very excited! The guide to the sounds here Want the font with zhuyin on the side? (super cool!) go here Making things fun I made a travel memory page (something like a scrapbook page for every country) There were many good ones out there, I just made one that fits us. Download here : Memory Book I also made a Geography Vocabulary page. Mamajenn has a good one, but I think one full page for one vocab is a bit too much for us, so I made it into 2 in one page. Download here: Geog Terms And I thought of (let's hope it'll succeed!) to change our dining table (a.k.a school table)' centerpiece for every country (simple things like the country's colors/flag, the finished crafts we are going to do...landmark pictures...) We are doing the whole passport/stamp/flag sticker deal. 2 tag-a-longs will be very thrilled. And here's where you find the customized air tickets and here for the stamp on the passport Go to idea box on my Pinterest Page (that should be updated regularly) Customizable music sheets Introduction Interesting 3 min song clip of the overview of the 7 continents.

Today we have found 6 Matariki star crafts. Matariki also called the Pleiades is a group of stars that signals the Māori New Year which is commonly celebrated in New Zealand. The group of stars rises in New Zealand's midwinter, normally during June or early July. In recent years Matariki has become a way to celebrate
Follow Middle Beginnings: our homeschool adventure as we embark on our first year of homeschooling beginning with 6th grade.
Today was all about kangaroos, wallabies, and wallaroos! After teaching about them, we listened to the book Marsupial Sue by John Lithgow. I said listened to because the book comes with a CD of John Lithgow singing the story. The kids really enjoyed it, and it provided a wonderful lesson for them: Always be true to who you are. (Thanks for letting me borrow the book, mom!) And then after the story, the little girl whose grandma lives in Australia (I mentioned her in yesterday's post) had more surprises for us! She brought in Australian money and a real kangaroo hide! I have no idea how her grandmother got this, but it was very cool to see. All the kids had a turn at touching the soft furry side and the smooth leathery side. OK, now on to the art project. I found a coloring sheet of a kangaroo and joey. I cut out the mama and baby so the kids could color them. And then instead of using a paper pouch, I cut them out of felt and let the kids decorate them with glitter glue and sequins. I would have used all different colors of felt, but brown was the only color I had on hand. One girl made her initial (E) on the pouch. How clever! When they dried, the pouch was glued onto the mommy kangaroo, making sure to glue only the sides of it and not the top. That way the joey could fit right inside. As a special surprise, when I put these in the kids' mailboxes at the end of the day, I added a sucker to the pouch! Fun Fact: A kangaroo cannot run or walk on land because its back legs do not move separately. It can only hop. However, if the kangaroo is swimming, the legs can move independently!

We started our studies of Australia with coral reefs and finished with animals of Australia. This was a fun study but it seemed to go by too quickly. I think it seemed that way because we spent three weeks on Russia. Albeit they were spread out over a holiday and other activities going on in our lives. :) We included the following two books during our coral reef studies. The Coral Reefs book went along really well with the information we learned in our Properties of Ecosystems science book. The book One Night in the Coral Sea was another one we really enjoyed. It describes how the coral reproduce in detail. Did you know: 1. Coral are actually the skeletons of soft animals called polyps and they make their own skeletons to protect themselves. 2. Coral only reproduce one time a year in late spring a few days after the full moon. My ds was so excited a couple of nights ago when he realized it's spring and it's almost time for a full moon. He is aware that Australia's seasons are opposite ours but he also knows there are coral reefs in the Caribbean. 3. The polyps release their eggs and sperm into the ocean. Then it is up to the sperm to find the right species of egg to fertilize. We also watched the following DVD's. The kids watched the Great Barrier Reef section of the Nat Geo DVD Deep Sea Dive during our coral reef study. During our Australian animals study they watched the Australia section of the Animal Atlas Animal Passport DVD. For fun the kids watched an old Crocodile Hunter DVD and the Disney Movie Rescuers Down Under. Both movies I requested from Netflix. I attempted to have them watch the Disney movie Finding Nemo but apparently it just wasn't meant to be. We couldn't find our copy and the copy I got from Netflix was damaged. :( We also added a few easy to read animal science books pictured below in addition to the Big Book of Animals Australia section. And I added the Look What Came From Australia book as well. I love those books. :) Our science this unit was to plant seeds from a kiwi fruit. It's supposed to take about a month for them to sprout. I've been known to not have a green thumb so we'll see. I can keep just about any kind of animal alive but plants are a different story. :( We made the Koala Treats from our Global Art book. They were made from powdered sugar and peanut butter mixed together and then rolled in cocoa powder. The eyes, ears and legs were raisins. The more Beau worked on his the more squashed his became. It was too funny. Both kids enjoyed their treats when they were completed and photographed. The treats did not photograph well but were really cute in 'real life'. Roo's Koala Treat Beau's squashed Koala Treat An art project I added from the ZooBooks Kangaroo book was called Bark Art. It's designed to mimic aboriginal bark paintings. You need a paper bag, a spoon or popsicle stick and a yellow, orange and dark brown crayon. Tear an 8X8 inch square out of the bag. Color one side with a thick layer of yellow crayon. Color over the yellow with an orange crayon. Use a dark brown crayon to color over the orange and cover the remaining spaces. Design an animal on a piece of scratch paper. Then carefully etch your design in the crayon layers using the handle of a spoon or a popsicle stick. Beau etched a platypus and Roo etched an emu. Again, these look better in 'real life'. These were added to their lapbooks. Beau's platypus and Roo's emu bark art We did one big lapbook for Australia. It included Australia facts, animals and coral reef animals. These components came from homeschoolshare.com. They were a combination of the Austrailia lapbook, marsupial lapbook and coral reef lapbook. We also included pictures of kangaroos and an emu I took while we were on our zoo field trip I blogged about last week. The stickers were from various sources. Beau's lapbook pages are on top and Roo's are on the bottom of each picture above The picture books we enjoyed this time are pictured below. Roo got a kick out of the Who's Upside Down book. The Old Woman Who Loved to Read was cute. The Pumpkin Runner had a great message about kindness and giving to others. My favorite. Now on to Antarctica and penguins.
Let's be real, planning weekly lessons in the ESL classroom can be an overwhelming task. Factors include caseloads and the sheer number of students/small groups serviced. Also, heterogenous groupings with a variety of language levels make it difficult to target specific language needs of students. Perhaps you're a new teacher and simply haven't had the guidance yet on planning ESL lessons. Here are a few tips to help make planning less stressful. ESL instruction is often vague because, in most cases, there's no curriculum to follow or even to guide. We are left to our own devices to plan and provide lessons for our students that build language skills in the four language domains of listening, reading, speaking and writing. That alone can make planning overwhelming. Tie in grade level content and setting language goals, and it's a LOT to consider! Let's start with a few pre-planning tips. These will support successful lesson planning. PRE-PLANNING TIPS 1- Lesson Planner Book It's really important to have a place to keep all things planning in one place. I don't know where I'd be without my lesson plan book. Things I keep in my planner in addition to lesson plans are: 1- Student lists with ELP levels broken down by each domain, 2- The curriculum my students are learning in their gen ed classrooms so that I can integrate my ELD lessons with the grade level content whenever possible, 3- A calendar to keep me on track with events that impact my instructional schedule, such as meetings and testing, 4- Language goals and data collection to track student progress. There are some really awesome print and go planners, as well as digital planners out there. Find one that suits your needs AND brings you joy. :) 2- Know Your Students One of our main goals is to take students from their current language proficiency level to the next level. Knowing students and their needs is critical to planning appropriate lessons. Students have an English Language Proficiency (ELP) level, but what does that mean exactly? So, my student has an ELP level 3, but what can she do in each language domain? I won't know what to teach her if I don't know the starting point for her. Look at the breakdown of all 4 language domains and identify the weaker domains for each student. Keep this information in your plan book, or somewhere easily accessible. This is valuable information, but it's a very small piece of data. More importantly, I need to know what my students can do right now. Their latest scores might be 6 months old, so I want to also gather current data. Assessments I give at the beginning to determine starting points: phonemic awareness (newcomers) phonics writing (give a prompt that students have plenty of background knowledge) reading I need to know what level of reading I can expect from students, not just with decoding, but more importantly comprehending. For writing, if my student is a newcomer with little to no English, I want to see a sample of their writing in their native language. This will give a lot of information about the literacy skills new students bring to the table. Once I know what my students CAN DO, I can then plan targeted ELD lessons to meet their language and literacy needs. Without this information, I'd be trying to hit a target in the dark, and that's not servicing the students or myself. 3- Student Placement in Small Groups Each small group, in my opinion, should be homogeneous. I group students according to needs, not necessarily by ELP level, although generally it works out that most level 3 students, for example, have similar needs, but not always. Grouping students with similar needs is key to targeting the skills they need to move from one level to the next. OK, I've got my plan book, my student data and my small groups identified by need. Now what? Tips to Make Lesson Planning Less Stressful 1- Consistent Weekly Activities Incorporate consistent activities that target your students' needs, preferably that don't require planning time, and add them in your plan book every week. For example, I go through my plan book and add "phonics" to certain days for certain groups each week, so that's one less thing I need to plan. I have all the phonics materials on hand, so I simple print out and copy what I need and go. I also do an Idiom of the Week activity and a "Friday Focus on Grammar" for other groups. Those automatically go into my lesson plan book each week as well! Several of my groups have a warm-up activity when they first come into my room. The activity takes about 5-10 minutes, but that's another chunk of time I don't need to plan. My level 1s and 2s have an irregular sight word booklet, and my level 3s and 4s have a Restate the Question writing prompt. Irregular Sight Words - Warm Up Activity Finding consistent and meaningful weekly activities to add to your plan book cuts down on planning time. Other examples of weekly activities: -Grammar lessons (so many possibilities- What do YOUR students need?) -Vocabulary - multiple meaning words, synonyms/antonyms, shades of meaning words, content vocabulary, affixes, thematic monthly vocabulary, etc. -Idiom of the Week -Word Work - Affixes is a great focus area! -Read Alouds -Let's Talk! -oral language activities (purposeful oral language development is so important) One of my favorite "Let's Talk!" activities is projecting a picture and having students talk about what they see happening. It could be content related or simply an interesting photograph. An awesome resource for this is Chuck Dillon's website. He's such a fantastic illustrator! Each picture has tons of action, which means there's never a shortage of things to talk about. Pick a couple of "Weekly Activities" and plug them into your plan book each week. Here's a blog post that shares "3 Weekly Activities that Do Not Require Planning." 2 - "Go-To" Activities These are helpful to have on hand whenever you feel unsure about what to plan next, or you just need a meaningful "filler" lesson. We all need those from time to time. These lessons are still high-quality lessons that target the needs of our students, but they don't require planning time. Some Go-To Activity Examples: PWIM with any picture (picture word inductive model) Inferring using pictures 5 Ws and H using pictures Mind Maps Language Games This Build a Sentence activity uses the PWIM strategy to generate words about a picture. In this activity, we use the words to generate sentences of varying lengths. And on this particular day, I also challenged my students to use position words in their sentences. To start, I ask students to tell me something they see in the picture. The students generate the words and I write them on the board in different colors depending on the part of speech. Students also generate the sentences, and I support with grammar, as needed. It's a great activity to have on hand, as it covers many skills and is easily adaptable. They are "one and done" lesson activities that are meaningful AND build language skills. Having a variety of these resources to pull from definitely makes planning less stressful because I know I have language building lessons that I can plug in whenever needed. 3- Language Function or Thematic Units If you know me at all, you know I LOVE planning and teaching language function units. This truly makes my planning less overwhelming. MOST, if not all, of my students across multiple grade levels work on building language around the same language function, so when I plan, I have one LF in mind for everyone. Whoo-hoo! For example, when I teach the language of Compare and Contrast, I focus on that language with all of my groups. I don't have 10 different groups doing 10 different things; they are ALL learning the language of Compare/Contrast, which makes planning SO much more manageable! Some groups might need more focus on expressive language skills while others need more practice with receptive language skills, but I know that the overarching focus for all is the language of Compare/Contrast. Plus, often times I can reuse lessons with multiple groups. Halleluiah! And by tweaking lessons with some additional scaffolds, I can use them with even more groups. This is a huge time saver! Language Function: Compare/Contrast Language Function: Fact/Opinion Each language function unit lasts about 4 weeks; and once it's planned out, there's not a lot of additional planning that needs to be done during that time period. I don't start a new unit until all my groups are finished, so while I'm finishing up the unit with some groups, I use "filler" lessons with the groups that are already done. To learn more about incorporating language function units in the ESL classroom, check out the blog post links below. 4- Reusing lessons is honestly my #1 tip for making planning more manageable and less stressful. And maybe you can't use an entire lesson with multiple groups, but you can use a portion of the lesson. How many groups can I use this lesson with? How can I tweak this lesson so that I can use it with more groups? Those are questions I ask myself as I plan. RECAP: 1- Incorporate Consistent Weekly Activities (phonics, grammar, vocabulary) and plug them into your plan book each week. 2- Go-To Activities (have a variety of meaningful filler activities on hand) 3- Language Function Units (all groups learning the same Language Function) 4- Reuse Lessons with multiple groups! As I mentioned earlier, sometimes the overwhelming feeling of planning comes from the sheer number of students and groups serviced. Or it could be that our numbers are low, but we service 6-12 grade levels. Many ESL teachers travel between schools. There's a variety of reasons that can make planning stressful. Regardless of the reasons, having these tools in your teacher toolbox can help make planning less stressful.
