Make a grid on the board. Say a number and letter combination for a student and have that person say what it is.

Use adjectives to help students describe the pets. Here is an example with a cat labeling to the parts of the body.

Students will talk about possession: Who has a rabbit?
Students: Ann!
Model sentences to express possession: Bob has a fish.

Students will contrast and compare the physical appearance of the pets. Review the parts of body words if you have already taught that unit. You can choose the ears. Model sentences: The brown rabbit has long ears.

Play a guessing game with your students. Hold a pet flashcard without showing it to your students. Describe it: This pet doesn’t have wings. It doesn’t have whiskers.  It has four legs. It has a tail.

 Students can make individual books or group books. Students will color each page as they read the sentences.
There is a set of a turkey surrounded by several objects and pages describing each item. You an put them together.  I would make the students color the separate items first and then look them up in the turkey picture and color accordingly.
Another example:
       The pages are meant to review vocabulary from the farm unit that might have previously taught.
the last set of turkey and vocabulary pages.
                                       Put all the sets together and bind the pages of the book.
Prepare all the toilet paper roll puppets. You can also do craft sticks or flannel board cutouts for storytelling.
                                       You can also practice prepositions. 
Teacher: Put the turkey in front of the barn.

School Unit for Elementary English Language Learners

 LINK to the FREE School Unit resource for Elementary English Language Learners: 
  https://www.bilingualmarketplace.com/products/school-theme-for-elementary-esl?variant=37429003223204


This resource comes with 24 small School Unit flashcards. Use them to have your students identify the school supplies.
School Unit flashcards

Here are some 
Flashcards Ideas to introduce or review the classroom or school objects vocabulary.
1. Who has it ?  Game : pass out all the school flashcards to some students in the class. Call out a word that is on a card. The student with that card has to stand up, show the card and say the word. Continue with all the playing cards.

2.  YES or NO puppetsMake the puppets by printing the template onto cardboard and gluing a craft stick behind each puppet.
Hold up a school flashcard and ask: Is it a (table) ?
Prompt the students to nod(YES) or shake(NO) their heads and answer YES or NO.  And you can also use the YES and NO puppet.
If the answer is YES, have them repeat: Yes, It´s a pen.(Show the yes puppet)
If the answer is NO, have them repeat NO, it isn´t a table. It's a crayon. (Show the NO puppet)
flashcards classroom objects.

3. Review or Evaluation:
Place on the board  or table a flashcard. Say a word or sentence. Have the child point to the flashcard. 
Teacher: eraser. It´s an eraser.
Student:( Points) eraser.
school unit flashcards
Put a different pair of flashcards and repeat.
Teacher: board. It´s a board.
Student:( Points) board.
Teacher: Very Good.

The prize or reward for your students
. Print and tape a safety pin behind each prize. As each student masters the flashcards give the prize.


4. Another Game: Display all the flashcards with a number under each one. The teacher or the student names a flashcard in a random order and the class says the number . Then say a number  and the class says the flashcard word or a sentence: The scissors are red.

Bingo Game: 
Distribute the blank bingo grid to each student. Have the students fill in 7 school words. Draw a random card and call it out so that the student can look for the word in their bingo grid and cross it off. When a student  has  crossed out all the words , he or she calls out  BINGO !  

Also make your call out Bingo folder. I made two sets, a black and white one and a colored version. Print the black and white small cards  onto colored  paper and the colored set onto white paper. As you call out the words just place them on the folder where they belong. Using this system children can play  in small groups.

 School theme book:
Give students the chance to read. Read to them or have them read after they know the vocabulary words. This is a decodable book that builds on previously taught words, helping students gain confidence and fluency. You can conduct guided reading so students can follow along, make as many copies as needed, maybe one for 2 students. Have students reread with their partner.  It can be used on electronics as a pdf file.
               

           There is another book.

School unit Task cards: make the  copies need. Laminate for further use. Display a set of cards to each group of 4 or 6 students. 

Students select their task card and write the answer in their notebook in the order of their preference.

This is a school unit memory matching game. It can be used to assess the students by connecting the cards. Print the sets of cards, one with pictures and another with the names of the school objects. Divide the class into groups of no more than 4. Hand each group a set of cards. Have the students spread the cards facing up on the table and take turns connecting the corresponding names and pictures. The student who correctly connects the most pairs of cards wins. 

 school unit Pocket charts: so many uses in the classroom, get one because I´ll be posting many ideas. This is a simple matching the phrase to the picture. After they finish students can write all phrases in their notebooks.



Let’s start by introducing the Prepositions Flashcards.
Here are some examples on how to use the flashcards to introduce the grammar structures: 

 

  I prepared a School unit sentence association game. I did it in a different way this time. I placed the pictures pages in a clear sheet and then cut all the sentences into cards. The aim of the game is to match the sentence card to each picture.

Watch the
video on how to use the game. The game can be done placing the sentences in the clear sheets and the cards will be the pictures.

The school unit cutouts! Now when distance learning is on demand, I researched that most teachers use cutouts. I love cutouts. I started using them when teaching with the book Sprinkles. The cutouts can be used for many things.

The cutouts can be used on the board. I made two examples. But the cutouts are great for using them within your lesson plan.


Give the students the cutouts and have them place them where they want and say a sentence. It a nice speaking activity. My children did it for me, I did not make any corrections. Watch the video.

Here is the picture of the end of the activity, I had to trim the video. Have the students draw their own picture inspired on the cutouts activity. Then, write a description.

Sometimes holding the cutouts with your hand might be complicated if you are doing distance learning. I glued a craft stick behind each cutout and made a short VIDEO demonstration on how to teach using the cutouts. Obviously, have the students repeat after you. Then, ask questions as you put up the cutouts.

 Make a school unit 
book. The students read the sentences and complete the book by gluing the school items where they belong.

Watch the video and see how I put it together. Have the students read the book using a pointer:
