We have been investigating the letters s,a,t and i. We have discovered that letters are all around us. One student noticed that 'English letters are in French words' so we have been talking about how the letters are the same but their letter name and sound may be different. We are investigating the letter name, sound of the letter, and words that start with that letter. Today we were using letter cards as flashcards and to build words.
We have been working with stories that have a poetic element and repetitive text. Students loved reading "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?", this week we have written our own story "Friends, Friends, What Do You See?" with all the friends in our class. We have also spent some time retelling the story and using the characters from the story to retell the story in small groups.
Hello, and welcome to JK English. I am looking forwards to teaching JK students again. When I was in Kuwait, I taught JK for 2 years, and especially enjoyed teaching English and watching the students literacy skills grow throughout the year! On this blog I will include some memories of activities we have completed, as well as information about the upcoming lessons. The next few weeks will be a chance to meet the students, develop class expectations and routines and begin our "Let's Be Friends" unit. Please check back here frequently to find more information!
Looking forward to a great school year! Ms. Andrea |
