Hi! Tomorrow we start a new school year. My task this time is focused on first and second year of Primary School. Some of my priorities are to set a good language basement for this new young students, foster oral and listening practice through the use of authentic materials around stories and songs, and work TPR (Total Physical Response) more than the previous year.
Stories are a good channel to work emotions. This year, I would like that values impregnate my task, and specially the notion of slow pace in our day-by-day in the school and also in life.
What’s why I would like to work Eric Carle’s “Slowly, slowly, said the sloth”. I have my own-made materials around this story to work English as a Second language contents.
In the following entries, I will post some of the activities I will be carrying on, as well as other that could came up during the year.
Good luck in this new start!
