Hi everyone! I'm Andrea Spillett and this is my 14th year of teaching and it just keeps getting better and better. I teach kindergarten at a darling school in Southern California. My specialty is Second Language Acquisition. Teaching English language learners have been my focus for the last 9 years of my teaching career. I have also taught the CLAD(cross language academic development) course at California State University, Fullerton. It has been such a pleasure to teach new teachers how to work with students whose first language is not English. I hope that you and your students will find the ELD strategies that I am posting in the blog valuable and helpful. If you need any clarification on any blog that I have posted, please let me know!

I split the class into three groups. The centers include the 100's fruitloop necklace, the 100's snack table, and the I wish I had 100 _____! writing paper. The students get to spend 20 minutes at each center. Fruitloop necklaces: materials needed for each student 30" piece of yarn masking tape taped around one end of the yarn bead tied around the other end of the yarn fruitloops (or even better generic fruitloops such as fruitrings. They have bigger holes!) paper plates Fruitloop Necklace Directions: Put a handful of fruitloops on a paper plate. Give each student a piece of yarn. Have the students begin with putting 10 red fruitloops through the piece of yarn. Then add 10 orange, 10 yellow, 10 green, 10 blue, 10 purple, 10 red, 10 orange, 10 yellow, and then 10 green. Tie the ends together and the students have their 100's day necklace. 100's Snack: items and materials needed 10 small bowls paper bags one for each student dark marker cherrios, mini marshmallows, stick pretzels, M&M's, whoppers (chocolate malt balls), chow mein noodles, goldfish crackers, mini candy hearts, peanuts, and chocolate chips. 100's Snack Directions: Put 10 bowls on a table. Put the items in each bowl. Have the students wash their hands. First hand a paper bag and a marker to each student. The students are to write (vertically from the top to the bottom) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,and 100. Have the students choose a starting place at the 100's snack table. They are to put 10 items of each snack into their bag totaling 100!!! I Wish I Had 100 ____!: materials needed 12" by 6" piece of white construction paper pencils crayons I Wish I Had 100 ____! Directions: The students are to write I wish I had 100 ________! Have the students tell you what they wish they had 100 of. Go around to each student and sound out the word that that they chose. The students are to write the word on the blank line. Have the students outline the words in black crayon and draw many pictures of the item they chose. 9:40-9:45: Clean Up 9:45-10:05: 100th day of School PE activites! Go outside and have the students get into group of 5. Have each student do 20 jumping jacks, 20 hula hoops, take 20 steps, jog 20 yards and bounce a ball 20 times. 10:05-10:20: Recess 10:20-10:45: Read: The Wolf's Chicken Stew by: Keiko Kasza (need to prep 100 cutout chickens with the numbers 1, 2, 3 to 100 on each chicken) Tape the chickens all around the room. Depending on how many students you have, let them search the classroom to see how many chickens they may find. I have 29 students so each student gets a chance to find 3 chickens. I use the sticks with each students name on it to see which students get to look for a fourth chicken. The students need to tell me the numbers on the chicken and then they get to tape it to the 100th chart. 10:45-11:00: 100 Big Block Structures! items needed: 300 Big Blocks! Have the students get into groups of three. In three seperate areas of the room, I have 100 blocks. The students need to work together to create a structure out of 100 blocks. Each group will present their structure. 11:00-11:25: Pizza with 100 Pepperonis on the Side! I have a parent pick up the pizza or I'll have the pizza delivered to the school. I order one slice of cheese pizza for each student with 100 pepperonis on the side. We count the 100 pepperonis and then we enjoy eating the pizza. 11:25-11:30 Dismissal Message Edited by ajspillett on 02-06-2007 05:27 PM
