I love creating classroom decorations, so I decided to create a freebie here for you guys to welcome in your students next year.

During this week it is a tradition singing some Villancicos and writing the letters. You can watch a Villancico (Christmas Carol) here, but if you want some Spanish online resurces for your kids visit my blog: Learning in Spain.

Feliz Navidad!

Need some Cinco de Mayo fun?

I just wanted to remind everyone, if you are looking for some ideas for Cinco de Mayo, you don’t have to look any further. I have a huge packet ready for you filled with literacy and math activities that go perfectly with Cinco de Mayo.  (They aren't a study of Cinco de Mayo, but compliment any study you do perfectly).  


This is what you need to do:
1. Go to my TpT store and buy: Hot Tamales: Activities to accompany the reading and study of The Three Little Tamales by Eric A. Kimmel. (Click image below)

2. Go to the library and get: The Three Little Tamales and The Three Little Pigs.

That’s it! Then just peruse Hot Tamales and fill your week with fun activities that compliment any formal study you might be doing on Cinco de Mayo. But this pack works great with or without Cinco de Mayo – you can use it any time to add some fun flavor to your classroom!


You won’t regret it! Your kids will love the story and the activities!
But hurry because it’s on sale.  (No pienses mas, hazlo, no te vas a arrepentir!)

Persuasive Pet Letter

After reading I Wanna Iguana my students were inspired to write letters to their parents asking for a pet.  I've put together a freebie for you that includes a cloze letter prompt in English or Spanish, and paper for the rough/final draft.  I've also included directions to help you take a very fun picture to add some character to the final draft...click the image below to go to download on TpT:

 Here is one of the fun pictures that added character to the final draft:

Mother's day in the classroom

How do you deal with all those family festivities? 

My kids love creating cards. 

Nowadays each family is different and not all my students want to make a mother's day card. So I decided leaving some cards on the writing center with examples.

I made them in English, Spanish and I even left some without text because some of my kids are going to make them for grannies or aunts.

Visit my blog or my TPT sore to get these cards.

WIDA Can-Do Classroom Template Freebie

Working with ELLs you know it can be difficult to keep track of their language proficiency in the different domains - listening, speaking, reading and writing.  Some kids are great speakers, but struggle with listening.  Others can read well, but struggle to write.  ELLs progress at different rates within the language domains.  


I'm sharing a template that allows you to keep track of you entire class of ELLs on one page.  You will be able to see where student X lies in each domain and compare him to student Y, while also refering to what they are able to do, and push them to the next level.


This can help you with grouping, differentiating, questioning, deciding accommodations, etc.  Previously I always had to use an Excel sheet or separate Can-Do descriptor pages.  Here you can see all of you students on one page.  


Here is an example: 

The freebie is  Word Document so you can make it look fancy and adjust it to fit your needs.

Me on the Map - Bilingual Set

Hello All,
I wanted to take a moment and share an activity that is great for Earth Week.  Me on the Map is a great read aloud to help students understand their place in the world.  I've seen many Me on the Map activities, but I needed a quick and easy one for a substitute teacher kind of day.  I've created a Me on the Map activity that comes in both English and Spanish.  

Click on the images to go to my TpT store.  The activity is on sale this week for Earth Week.  Take a peek!


Saludos,
Mrs. Castro
