Insects Unit for Elementary ESL- part 2.

This is part 2 for the Insect unit. Here is the link to the product.

How many bugs are there? I made some cutouts to be used as a diorama or permanent exhibit for speaking opportunities. I placed a clip behind each animal to make a diorama on a desk.
Teacher: Look ! a bee hive! How many bees are there in front of the bee hive ?
Student: There are four!
Teacher: How many bees are there behind the bee hive ?
Student: There are three!
Teacher: How many bees are there in the bee hive ?
Student: There are seven!

Or use the cutouts on the board.
Teacher: What are they?
Student: They are spiders.
Teacher: What color are the spiders?
Student: They are brown spiders.
Teacher: How many spiders are there on the spider web?
Student: There are five blue spiders! There are five brown spiders!
Or students can make their own posters and write their paragraphs!
I made these small cards for several games. Review prepositions with the students. Students listen to the directions and place them where they belong.
Teacher: There is an ant on the chair. There is a bee under the chair. There is a spider behind the chair. There is a ladybug in front of the chair.
 Review colors. If you have dictated the colors.
Teacher: What color is the worm?
Students: It is purple!
If they colored as they wished the bugs. Have them make groups of the same color bug.
Teacher: Who has blue butterfly? Stand up and make a group.
Continue with all the cards and count how many students are in the same color bug group.

I had this book from my kids. You can read the book and then use the flannel board to retell the story using the cutouts in the product. I made mine out of floor cloth for mopping. I added Velcro to all the pieces, it stays on the flannel board and does not come down. It is easy to take off and relocate. If you want the story to retell it, request it: ei98srl@gmail.com
Watch the videos!



Math vocabulary has to be introduced in all units to increase language production in this area. Use the cards to play games. Give a group of students the butterflies, another the number words and the next group the number cards. At your signal have them walk around and find the match of the three cards. The first three students to do so calls stop! And hands in the cards to you. Place them on the board.



I joined a group at Facebook for TPT sellers. There are lots of wonderful resources. I found this cute bookmark. I made mine by placing it on fun foam for sturdiness and added yarn for the little bees. LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Mca-Designs
