Editor's Notes
- #2 Lesson Tips: Teaching students how to name the items in the classroom is a great lesson for the first week of school. It helps beginning ESL students feel comfortable at their new school. A fun lesson activity is for the teacher to point to items in the classroom and have students identify them verbally. Groups can also create labels and tape them to the classroom items.
- #3 Teaching Tip: Discuss the math problem shown on the board. Point out the clock and the teacher’s pointer.
- #4 Teaching Tip: Ask students what month they “go back to school”.
- #5 Teaching Tip: Most classrooms have tables and chairs for students, not desks and chairs. Let students know that when you say “your desk” you mean their table.
- #6 Teaching Tip: Give students a vocabulary list and have them look up the words and write the definitions.
- #7 Teaching Tip: Have students make dividers for their three-ring binders. Review the top, bottom, right, and left margins of a piece of notebook paper. Also, show ESL students the difference between the front and back of a piece of notebook paper.
- #8 Teaching Tips: Show illiterate students and kindergartners how to hold a pencil. Show new students where the classroom pencil sharpener is located.
- #9 Teaching Tip: Show students how to erase mistakes completely when taking Scranton tests.
- #10 Teaching Tip: Have students point to the bulletin board in your classroom.
- #11 Teaching Tip: Have students hold the globe and point to where they are from. Take pictures of them with a digital camera.
- #12 Teaching Tip: Take a group picture of your class in front of a world map. Download a blank world map from www.elcivics.com and have the class color and label the continents, oceans, and their country, state, or city of origin.
