Introduction to Coordinate Graphing Introduce elementary students to coordinate graphing through seasonal coloring activities. The fall Jack-O-Lantern activity requires students to use the grid code and crayons or markers to create a jack-o-lantern on a blank 9x9 grid. The use of letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis introduces young students to coordinate pairs without the confusion of the standard (h,v) format. Notice that it is important that elementary students become accustomed to listing the horizontal coordinate first as this will transfer to the Cartesian coordinates they will use in later grades.

Top 10 Favorite Spelling Activities of 2012 My oldest son's natural ability to remember things means spelling comes easy to him. As a result, each week, the teacher gives him (and some other students) "the challenge list." The words are just as the title implies - challenging. I've done my best to devise fun ways for him to study. No. 1 Spelling Race When the spelling words were extra hard, this activity was my go-to. No. 2 Spelling Battleship This favorite board game is a wonderful and fun way to practice spelling words. No. 3 Spelling with LEGO Minifigures Turn one of your child's favorite toys into a spelling practice incentive. No. 4 Spelling with Mr. Spell it right and Mr. No. 5 Magnetic Snowman Hangman Hangman is a great way to practice spelling. No. 6 Spelling Practice Balloon Pop This may well be the noisiest spelling practice activity ever. No. 7 Secret Message Spelling Craft a secret message, which is revealed as the child spells a short list of words correctly. No. 8 Spelling Practice with Nautical Flags
discussion-game.pdf Kid Conversation Starters - All Pro Dad : All Pro Dad Sometimes being a dad is just tough. I recently had a real talk with my 8-year-old son about a kid who was trying to bully him. I don’t know if my advice was the best, but I believe it opened the door for deeper conversations in the future. You may be there, too. The time for a difficult conversation may be now. It could be the “birds and the bees” or it could be about hanging out with the wrong crew. When are you (or have been) most afraid? Click to download our printable version.

The Art Of Teaching Grammar: Practical, Detailed And Illuminating Guide Walk and talk med elever | ceciliabergentz Idag under engelsklektionen gick vi ut på gården och hade ”Walk and talk” i ca 30 min. Eleverna fick själva göra gruppindelningen utifrån ”hitta någon du känner dig trygg att prata engelska tillsammans med”. De delade upp sig i par eller i grupper om 3. Jag har haft eleverna i flera år nu och vet att de kan göra denna indelning under eget ansvar men detta måste du som lärare kanske styra upp så att alla hittar en kamrat. Det var samma grupper under hela passet men samtalsinnehållet varierade. Walk and talk är en perfekt uppgift som tränar flera olika förmågor i engelska samtidigt som aktuella ämnen kan tas upp. Här hittar du samtalskort: Walk and talk (21/8-15) Walk and talk II (27/8-15)
Speed Chatting – pratigt, roligt och lärorikt. | Hanna Fjeld Nu tänker jag bjuda på ett lektionsupplägg som eleverna gillar och som brukar vara mycket lyckat. Det handlar om speed chatting. Ja, det låter nästan som speed dating och det är nästan vad det är. Jag möblerar salen så att det blir ett eller två långbord beroende på hur salen ser ut och hur många elever det är i klassen. Eleverna sitter vid bordet och bildar par med den som sitter mittemot. Jag brukar introducera den här samtalsövningen i år 7, då får eleverna titta på bilder som jag satt ihop i ett bildspel och diskutera det de ser och associerar till. Övningen går att variera på flera olika sätt: prata om ord, påståenden, korta filmklipp, låta eleverna sitta i grupper eller att prata under längre tid. Min uppfattning är att eleverna verkligen gillar att prata engelska, men att de ganska ofta tycker att det är pinsamt att göra det i klassrummet. /Hanna
