Activities

Silent reading is a great way to start your class period, as a class warm-up. It's so integral to my class, that we do it at least 3 times per week if not more!

Creating a class mascot is a fun activity for both you and your students. Once you have this mascot created, it can be used over and over again in story after story. Join us and learn how you and your students can make your own class mascot!

Show & tell is a great activity that allows students to show who they are while using the target language in a less stressful way. It's also a great way to build classroom community.

Exit Tickets are a great form of formative assessment at the end of your daily lesson. I love exit tickets because they give tangible evidence of what students did or learned in class.

Convo Cards are all about scaffolding students' vocabulary during conversations.⁠ The simple Convo Cards combine images, text, and translations to help build confidence in the students' second language.

Notebooks are an important part of my CI classroom. We use them daily for organization and recording of many of our daily tasks.
