Essential Materials for Everyday Classroom Set

Essential Materials for Everyday Classroom Set

$112.00 $117.97

This set includes the 3 fundamental materials that every k-12 teacher must have. If you don’t have them it’s like trying to teach blindfolded. Sheltering instruction is key to student success and should therefore be used throughout the entire day. We estimate that the average classroom shelters instruction 30-40% of the day. This essential set will allow teachers to shelter instruction 100% of the time.  Materials purchased to supplement current programs meet the ESEA's Title III Supplement not Supplant Provision. All materials and teaching ideas are aligned with the Application of Common Core Standards for English Language Learners  and the TESOL standards.

1) A class set of dry erase lapboards
How do teachers know if their ELLs are comprehending instruction all day long?
They are a must-have for numerous reasons but the most important reason is to build a window into each student’s brain.  Pass out the whiteboards, teach and ask a question, and have students hold up their whiteboards.  (For example, in a lesson on photosynthesis, have students draw a picture or write a list of what a plant needs to make it’s own food. The teacher immediately knows, by scanning the student responses, who understands the concepts and language they are trying to teach and who does not and what she has to do next.  Or in social studies, the teacher can ask students to use the word democracy in a sentence. She immediately finds out where they are and knows what to do next. Whiteboards work for all subject areas and all grade levels.  There are infinite ways to use them and I have a short video teachers get access to that tells them how to use them.

2) An Idiom Dictionary
How do teachers teach the over 25,000 idioms in the English language?
Every teacher needs an idiom dictionary.  Research says that idioms are particularly challenging for ELLs and need to be explicitly taught.There are some 25,000 idioms in the English language.  Idioms are invisible to native English speakers but we use them all the time.  For example, think of the idioms, let me cut to the chase and a piece of cake or go the extra mile.  They’re in the books, the textbooks and language all around students.  They’re in teachers speech and we need to directly teach them.  Even if teachers are aware of the idioms in their classroom they are very hard to explain and an idiom dictionary makes it easy to explain them.

3)  A Picture Dictionary
How do your teachers pictorially define vocabulary?
In order to function in English, a person needs to know almost 10,000 word families.  Students need accessible picture dictionaries.  The picture dictionary is essential, of course, for any newcomers.  It is a survival tool for them. Without it they can be lost without the ability to communicate basic needs and understand teacher directions.  But having at least one picture dictionary per classroom allows the teacher to use it as a reference. It give them ideas for ways to pictorially represent content vocabulary and concepts.  All she has to do is look at the pictures it will help her teach the language and concepts.

Teach vocabulary and communication skills with this cooperative game. Partners sit on opposite sides of a barrier. Each has a game board and game pieces copied from this book. For example, each student receives a zoo game board and zoo animal game pieces. One student places her animals in the empty spots on the zoo game board. Now here's the challenge: Through talking only, that student must describe how she arranged her animals in the zoo so her partner can "match" the layout. As students try to make a match ("place the zebra in the bottom space that has the tree on the right side"), they must communicate clearly using the target vocabulary. Book includes 30 games focusing on must-know vocabulary including: animals, food, clothes, transportation, weather, sports, human body, and many more. 136 pages.
