Once a teacher, always a teacher. That statement pretty much describes me! Although I'm working as a stay at home mom (writing books and blogging about family fun nights), part of me will always be a teacher at heart. I get my "teacher fix" by working with my own kids and volunteering at school, but part of me still thinks about teaching the ELL students I so enjoyed. I taught hundreds of refugee kids, mostly beginners in English, and I know that the curriculum to meet their needs is insufficient.
So I have a new project. I'm pulling together resources and writing curriculum so that I will be ready with everything I need when I return to the classroom. I thought I would share some of those resources here on this new blog!
My current project is a "clothing unit." For today, I'm sharing my favorite children's book for teaching clothing vocabulary to new English speakers:
I love the simple text, the repetition, and the clear illustrations of The Jacket I Wear in the Snow. It is my clear favorite for ESL beginners!
Do you have any favorite resources for a clothing unit? Share it in the comment box below (or on my Elementary ESL Facebook page)!
Thanks for stopping by!
