Classroom Strategies

First Grade ELR

Word Walls: Implementing word walls into a first grade ELR classroom can be effective in learning their new vocabulary words and literary skills. You can have your students help you make these cards and make sure that they are bright and colorful so that they stand out. You can then put them all over the classroom and integrate them daily in the classroom. This way, these words are being implemented into their daily life. Interactive Discussions: Interactive discussions can promote engagement and critical thinking. The ways that you can promote these discussions in a first grade ELR classroom are by providing time for think-pair-share, discussion circles, story time circles, and maybe even a question of the day. All of these things give the students an opportunity to have interactive and meaningful discussions that can help enhance vocabulary and literary skills.

5. Sexual Bullying

When we are told a story, it touches us emotionally, it can even move us, making us remember the stories up to 20 times more than any other content we may consume.

Challening Strategy

Syntax and Sentence Structure:

Syntax and Sentence Structure I beleive would be the most challenging for Emergent Bilinguals. Leanring a new language is hard enough, but being able to structure the sentences correctly is even harder. Most of the time, their L1 language has a different structure that they are used to. Having to switch that mindset, while also learning new words is very challenging. The English language is very complicated as well. The English language has clauses, phrases, and pununctiation. There are so many grammatical rules in the English language, that it can be so tricky to learn each individual rule.

2. Social Bullying

Our brain is biologically prepared to process visual content. Almost 50% of our brain is involved in processing visual stimuli.

4. Psychological orverbal bullying

Bring your creations to life with animation. It's impossible not to pay attention to moving content!

Vocabulary Technicque

This approach deepens vocabulary evolvement because students are being exposed to new words, conextual learning by finding these words in different contexts and meanings, and spelling and puncuation. All of these things are being integrated into a word hunt and can ultimatley help all students, especially emergent bilinguals.

Word Hunt

The strategy word hunt word hunt involves students searching for words in texts, the classroom environment, or even in their everyday surroundings and is different from traditional methods by promoting engagement and collaboration.

Lesson: First Grade ELR I would dicuss and give a lesson on different types of animals and introduce the new animal vocabulary words to the class. I would give them a handout with all of the new vocabulary words on it. I would then introduce the word hunt game. I would provde a clipboard for them to have when walking around. The students will be able to use everything in the classroom, such as books and posters on the wall. When they find words on their vocabulary list, they will write down where they found it in the classroom. While they do this, I would be going around the room and offering help to those who need support. When finished, we would all have a class discussion about all of the words they found. While doing this, we would write the words on the board and go over every single word again. We would go into a deeper disussion allowing them to become more familiar with the words and allowing opportunities for them to have partner discussions about these animals. This lets them get more familiar with both hearing and saying these words.

Scaffolding

How can I scaffold for sentence structures and syntax?

One way as a teacher that I can scaffold to help emergent bilinguals are visual supports. I can prepare sentence structure examples on big posters and charts and place them all around the classroom. Along with the posters and examples, I can add pictures to help these charts to be better understood. That way, the students have these charts to look back on while they are in class.

3. Cyberbullying

Write a great text by clicking on Text in the left sidebar. Note: fonts, size, and color should match the theme you are addressing.

1. Physical bullying

You can briefly describe what your presentation timeline consists of and orally present the milestones achieved so that nobody falls asleep.

Word Conciousness

Word consciousness means being aware of words and how they work. It’s about knowing what words mean and how to use them. An example: After learning a word such, they cna recognize these words in books they read afterwords. This shows they have a conscious of the new words that they have learned.

Easier Strategy

Context:

I think the strategy that might be the easiest for Emergent Bilinguals is context. I feel as if there are many things that can help emergent bilinguals be able to understand better. Things such as: -Guess and replace: you can have student guess what they think the word means, replace the unknown word with the guess word, and then read it to see if it makes sense. -Read on: Sometimes just reading on will help. Sometimes with what they are reading, they define the word in the next sentence, an exmaple is provided, or the meaning can become more clear.
