The Greetings and Introductions Resource has Six worksheets and a lot more. Link: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/greetings-resources-for-kinder-and-elementary-esl?variant=36125058105508 Teach children from the very first day how to say Hello or Hi in English. It can be a short hello or a long one. When I was a teaching preschool I would bring in a maraca hand that would make a noise as I greeted everyone. Try to use children´s name when saying Hello. Teacher: Hello, Marcos ! Marco: Hello, Teacher ! ( The students greets with his hand puppet) Sometimes, I would hand in the Hello Hand Clapper to someone to be the one who greets another student or the class. It is nice to have different maracas for the everyday greeting. I keep my eyes open when I go to toy stores, dollar stores or piñata stores. They have wonderful things for this intention. It can be clackers, whistles, harmonicas, clappers, maracas. For longer greetings there´s a song that got from old books that would come with a cassette. I used to sing that to my twin daughters when they were born. Teacher: Good morning, good morning. Good morning to you . Good morning, good morning. And how are you ? Greetings Worksheet 1. This is another version of the Hello Hand. Have the children color the Hello Hand Green and the Goodbye Hand red, like a traffic light. Then the hands can be cut and glued onto craft stick and they are Greeting puppets. Children can greet each other with the puppet. Worksheet 2 and 3 . Introducing the words boy,girl and teacher. There´s the props page for the teacher. I turned them into puppets. Worksheet 4. Children will draw themselves and cut / glue the word boy or girl. Worksheet 5. Children will trace the words Hi, Hello. Cut/Glue the bubbles next to each child. I got some plastic plates and added the printables boy, girl and teachers saying hello. I made a memory game for that first class with so many minutes and we don´t know what else to do. And then thought that some graphing using clothespin with the students´name on it will work with the plates. And then I added craft sticks and turned them into puppets for making a line for boys and another for girls. They turned out cute and for door decoration are nice! Leave your comments and requests.

There are many benefits to using task cards with English Language Learners. Come learn about 5 of the most important.
By Presto Plans E.E Cummings said, “The most wasted of all the days is one without laughter,” and I think the same is true for a day in the classroom. Even if we aren’t a natural stand-up comedian, bringing content related humor into your ELA class (or any class for that matter) will not only make for a more positive learning environment, but will also help your students retain the content you are teaching. By doing these 5 simple things, you won’t only bring a smile to your students’ faces, but you will also help them feel more comfortable in your classroom to engage which will allow them to more easily connect with content and skills. Put a smile on your students’ faces when they enter by having some humorous decorations on your classroom bulletin boards. With a quick search online, you can find funny author memes or quotes, grammar jokes, or ironic moments to display on a board each week. Having relevant humorous material in the classroom will put your students at ease and make the classroom a more welcoming environment. One of my favorite ELA displays that gets students attention is my “English Is Weird” poster set because it allows students to consider strange, surprising, and odd details about the English Language. Bring some performance into your middle and high school ELA class with Readers Theater. If you are reading a short story, a play, or even a few chapters out of a novel, assign roles to a few of your students and have them do a dramatic presentation of the text. All it takes are a few basic prompts and costumes, and you will be surprised at how the energy in your room changes. I would often raid the costume room of the drama teacher for items/costumes or scrounge a few items from home. Don’t feel like searching? You could also assign roles to students the day before and tell them to bring in their own costume. When teaching a drama unit, I keep a costume section in my classroom, so I can easily have access to materials I might need for performance (see my Shakespeare inspired costumes below). One of my favorite short stories to do Readers Theater with is Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl. While it is certainly uses dark humor, the frozen leg of lamb scene always gets students giggling, and they typically do better on questions or assessments related to this story because they more easily retain the discussions we had during the performance. Below are some of the props I use for this story. Finding a fake lamb leg is nearly impossible, so I made one with a brown paper bag :). If you want to instill a love of reading in your students, present them with texts that have an element of humor, irony, sarcasm, or surprise. If you are teaching short stories, try a story like Charles by Shirley Jackson, a story with a surprise twist about a boy misbehaving at school or The Chaser by John Collier, a story about a love-potion gone wrong. Bring satire into your upper high-school grades by having students read Body Ritual Among The Nacirema by Horace Miner, a paper on a little-known tribe living in North America with curious practices and customs (which actually describes the modern-day American – Nacirema spelled backwards). If you are looking for some humorous poetry, you might want to check out “Did I Miss Anything?” by Tom Wayman, “Television” by Roald Dahl, or “The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert William Service. If you are teaching grammar, integrate real-life, funny spelling, punctuation, or grammar errors that relate into your instruction. You can do this by adding a “commercial” slide into your presentation that includes a funny misuse of that grammar concept or some funny examples at the bottom of an assignment or worksheet. Sadly, you will have absolutely no problem finding real-life examples. A quick Google/Pinterest search will yield thousands of examples of grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors on tattoos, signs, cakes, social media posts, and the list goes on. You could also dedicate a bulletin board in your classroom to grammar fails and have students find their own examples to post. As much as they won’t admit it, teenagers get a kick out of their English teacher using groan-worthy wordplay. Bringing puns into your classroom is an easy way to get a student laugh, or at the very least an eye-roll and a smirk. It will also allow them to consider the nuances of the language and hopefully encourage them to share their own puns. Get your copy of this free poster set with food-related puns that give students some valuable or “sage” advice by clicking HERE. Here are some other easy ways to bring puns into the classroom: write a pun of the week on the board, give students an incentive or reward when they use wordplay in class appropriate to the content you are teaching (candy always works), or do a pun-related activity. Click HERE to read a post on the blog by The SuperHERO Teacher that includes a free Decode The Pun activity. I hope these ideas bring some laughs in your classroom and also help your students feel more comfortable and ready to learn. Have other ideas to share?

Teaching phonics is an important aspect of a literacy program. This is especially true for ELLs. Phonics is the relationship between sounds and the letter or letters used to write them. Phonics connects sounds with letters and combinations of letters. In the English language, there are 26 letters and 44 sounds (called phonemes). A grapheme

LINK to the resource on a unit to express possession: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Possessive-pronouns-nouns-adjectives-form-questions-for-Elementary-ESL-4344443 It is available at my other store: https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/possessive-pronouns-nouns-adjectives-form-questions-for-elementary-esl?variant=14410814914609 Watch the video of the resource: I always use flashcards to introduce the grammar point. I wish I had all these resources when I was teaching at a school 30 years ago. I had to draw mine or use magazine cutouts. Well, time flies and here we are. Use the big flashcards to place the on the board as mine.They will give the use of the possessive adjectives in context. Teacher: I run to my school. Underline and point out I and My. Continue with the rest of cards. I also made some cutouts to make sentences. Teacher: My favorite color is pink. Students: Our favorite color is brown. Play is also a teaching tool to review this grammar point giving student access to communication and creation. Game 1: Play sentence association. Display all the cards on a table and have the students place a sentence next to the picture card just as your board example. And do even more, give them a blank rectangle and students write a sentence using a possessive adjective. Game 2: Match the subject pronoun to the adjective pronouns. Game 3. Make possessive adjectives sentences. Cut all the words from each sentence and have the students build the sentence and match to the picture cards. I glued each word onto fun foam to make their studier. Game 4. Sort the sentences into Possessive adjectives, form, questions. Or sort them using envelopes. I placed a big clip on the back of each envelope for standing purpose. I also glued the super children characters on each envelope. Game 5. Feed the zebra. I cut all the words from each sentence of the sentence association game. I grabbed an empty soda plastic bottle and glued the zebra printable. I managed to cut the mouth out. Students feed the zebra by reading each word. I made a short video. On the notebook. It is always fun to cut and glue. There is a bundle for the Adjectives for teaching ESL Elementary students.
