Intro 1 Explain to pupils in Slovene how the lesson will proceed by displaying the visual timetable (see example above). Place the visual timetable on the board or have a ready-made frame for it hung on the wall and stick pictures to it. Let them know that this week will be a review of the Topics 1-4.

Intro 2 Inform the children when you will be speaking Slovene (at the beginning – intro – and during the Reflect & Connect sections) otherwise you will be speaking only in English to the pupils. You can even put a picture of yourself on the visual timetable to indicate the times you will be speaking to them in Slovene. You may even wish to ask a pupil to put the pictures up as you explain the timetable. You can explain the timetable by saying: For example (in Slovene): “Today we will begin with our greeting/hello song followed by our pointing poem, tonguetwister on sausages, and our weather song. Then we will sing a song/recite a poem about TOPIC called “SONG TITLE”. Then you will come to the floor and we will learn some new words about TOPIC. When you see my picture, we will talk in Slovene and you can tell me what you think and how you feel about what we have learned today so far. I will ask a few different pupils each time. Then we will continue with SUBJECT. After the SUBJECT section, you can tell me in Slovene about what you know and understand. We will finish our lesson with our good-bye song/poem.”

Your pupils will appreciate knowing exactly what they are doing at every stage of the lesson. Pupils of all learning abilities and disabilities will be able to follow the structure and rhythm of the lesson. It should also help with minimizing any pupil disturbances.

TOPIC 9

Movement

Greeting song

Start your lesson with the greeting song or recitation. Add actions to the song when you can (e.g. shake hands when you say “welcome”, wave your arm for “come on in”, and jump and throw your hands up in the air when you say “fun”, etc.).

Greeting song/recitation Welcome, Welcome Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

Come on in and join the fun. School is fun for everyone.

Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

This song is sung to the tune of Old MacDonald. Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

Seasonal song Follow the greeting song with a short and quick song, poem, tongue-twister, recitation and/or verse. This will help the children to get their tongues and mouths warmed up for English, and add a bit of laughter and expression each time. Try to add a few gestures and actions if possible.

Seasonal song/poem/recitation/verse/tongue-twister (examples) 1 Point to the window, point to the door, jump to the ceiling, stomp on the floor.

2 Ten super sausages, sizzling in a pan. One goes (snap), another goes (clap).

Eight super sausages, sizzling in a pan. One goes (snap), another goes (clap). etc.

(Or the teacher chooses what they think is relevant to add to the existing curriculum.)

TOPIC 9

Weather song Conclude with the weather song. Make certain you place the weather picture on the visual timetable according to the weather on the day that you are singing the song.

Weather song How’s the Weather?

How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY (depending on the weather that day).

How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY. How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY. It’s SUNNY today.

Topic 1

Show the pupils the picture of a school and tell them “School – this is a school.” Using actions, instruct the pupils to push their chairs in and stand up at their desks. You do not need to explain any vocabulary at this point, but you may want to elicit the word “school”. You have already explained to them what you will be doing and talking about at the beginning of the lesson.

Introduce the song “Let’s Go to School” in a rote fashion (teacher sings and pupils repeat each line). Have the pupils walk, march or skip to the beat while singing the REFRAIN. When singing the vocabulary, physically touch or point to the items you are singing (e.g. pointing to the teacher, or touching the chair). Pupils do the same. Each week addnew vocabulary and repeat the previous weeks’ vocabulary.

For a preview of this activity, go to www.lilibi.si and watch the video.

Topic 2

Instruct your pupils to get their flash cards and come and sit down on the floor. Make certain that you are by the board.

Have the classroom items you were singing about during that lesson ready. Review the items quickly to ensure the pupils remember the vocabulary. Put up a picture of Lili, leave a space, the grammar shape for and, then the picture of Bine, leave a space. Place a school item next to Lili (e.g. pencil) and one next to Bine (e.g. notebook). Read the picture to the class, “Lili has a pencil and Bine has a notebook.” Stress the word and. Have the class repeat.

Take the and grammar shape and place it after Bine. Add a family member next to the and grammar shape and a school item (e.g. ruler) next to that family member. Read the picture to the class, “Lili has a pencil, Bine has a notebook and the mother has a ruler.” Stress the word and. Have the class repeat.

Topic 3

Invite three pupils to come to the front of the classroom and have them choose a school item each. Ask a pupil or two to try to make a sentence with what they see based on the example you provided. For example, “Pupil A has a chair, Pupil B has a crayon and Pupil C has a notebook.” The concept being learned is where to place the word and when listing. For example, A, B and C (and is placed between the last two items being listed). Have the class repeat. If you need to reinforce this concept, have the first two pupils stand together and the third pupil an arm’s length away from the second pupil. Place the and grammar shape between the second and the third pupil.

Topic 4

Invite four pupils to come to the front of the classroom and have them choose a school item each. Ask a pupil or two to try to make a sentence with what they see based on the example you provided. For example, “Pupil A has a chair, Pupil B has a crayon, Pupil C has a notebook and Pupil D has paper.” Have the class repeat.

Topic 5

Time permitting, put the pupils into groups of 3 or 4. Have them choose an item each and practise telling what everyone has as in the examples. One member of the group may present to the class. Have the class repeat.

Subject 1 Have the children stand up and find some space on the floor. Show the video of counting by body parts or demonstrate counting by ones. If you do not have the video, count using your body, starting from right to left, feet first, until you reach above your head. Repeat 3 times to warm the children up. Start slowly at first. See the instructions below.

1 (place right hand on right foot), 2 (place left hand on left foot), 3 (place right hand on right knee), 4 (place left hand on left knee), 5 (place right hand on right side of waist), 6 (place left hand on left side of waist), 7 (place right hand on right shoulder), 8 (place left hand on left shoulder), 9 (place right hand on right side of head), 10 (place left hand on left side of head), 11 (place right hand above head in the air), 12 (place left hand above head in the air).

Continue the same pattern from the beginning for numbers 13–24.

On the second time counting, show and tell the pupils to close their right hand and make a fist. The left hand remains open. They still do the same movements with the hands, but they are to speak the number when they touch with their left hand (the open hand) only, and whisper the number when they touch with the right hand (the closed hand). Essentially they are reciting the 2 times multiplication tables. Give an example of the first 4 numbers.

1 (place right hand on right foot), 2 (place left hand on left foot), 3 (place right hand on right knee), 4 (place left hand on left knee), 5 (place right hand on right side of waist), 6 (place left hand on left side of waist), 7 (place right hand on right shoulder), 8 (place left hand on left shoulder), 9 (place right hand on right side of head), 10 (place left hand on left side of head), 11 (place right hand above head in the air), 12 (place left hand above head in the air).

Topic 1

Show the pupils the picture of a traffic light and tell them “This is a traffic light. It has a red light, a yellow light and a green light.” Using actions, instruct the pupils to push their chairs in and stand up at their desks. You do not need to explain any vocabulary at this point, but you may want to elicit the word traffic light. You have already explained to them what you will be doing and talking about at the beginning of the lesson. Introduce the song “Red Light, Green Light” in a rote fashion (teacher sings and pupils repeat each line). Have the pupils walk, march or skip to the beat while singing. When singing the vocabulary, add gestures (e.g. hand out to indicate stop, shaking finger for do not go away). Pupils do the same. Start the first week by reviewing the known vocabulary. During the second week add the new vocabulary and repeat the previous weeks’ vocabulary. To learn the greatest number of types of transportation, use one type for each light and/or zebra crossing as in the song example.

For a preview of this activity, go to www.lilibi.si and watch the video.

TOPIC 9

Topic 2

Instruct your pupils to get their flash cards and come and sit down on the floor. Make certain that you are by the board.

Have the flash cards of the modes of transportation you were singing about during the lesson ready (e.g. bike, bus, car, train, taxi, etc.). Pick a card, review and ask the pupils, “What is this?” Elicit answer, “This is a …” Expect answers in Slovene, but repeat them in English so that the pupils are exposed to the vocabulary as much as possible. It will eventually sink in. Some pupils will speak up in English sooner than others. Encourage them, but never force pupils into speaking up before they are ready. Take a look at the questions you want to reinforce for the week. Each week builds upon the previous week. Prepare your shapes. Try emphasizing the words in the phrase differently each time to create different tones in your speaking. For example, stress This in “This is a car” or bike in “This is a bike.”

Topic 3

Review other expressions from last year such as, “What does Lili have?” Elicit, “Lili has a ___.” You can introduce, “Who has a bus?” Elicit, “Lili has a bus.” In the first week, introduce the prepositions: next to, in front of, behind and between. In the subsequent week, reinforce the prepositions. Play a preposition game (similar to “Simon Says”) where you put your hands in front of your body and say “in front of,” put them behind your body and say, “behind,” to the side of you and say, “next to,” between your knees and say, “between.” You can start by saying “Simon says, between.” Pupils put their hands between their knees and say “between.” Take two pictures of modes of transportation and place them one next to the other on the board, then ask, “Where is the bus?” Model verbally and then with grammar shapes. “The bus is next to the car.” Pupils model after you speak and then show the visual grammar and model again. Use various items from this section to reinforce the new preposition. For example, “The train is in front of the bus. The bike is behind the taxi.” Children can physically position themselves instead of the flash cards, too. For example, “Jana is between Jaka and Mihaela.”

Topic 4

Use the visual grammar shapes as cues each time the pupils correctly form the sentence being learned (e.g. “This is a bus.”

– see example below). Place the picture of the bus in the correct part of the sentence. Do the same with the other pictures.

You can eventually have the children place the picture in the correct position within the sentence. If there are any children in the class who are capable of remembering what was being taught, use them to ask questions, “What is this?” and have them ‘be the teacher’.

Worksheet

Subject 1

Have the pupils come and sit on the floor. Take out the flash cards and see what the pupils know by asking, “What is this?” for each flash card. It does not matter in which order you look at the pictures. The pupils may say the word in Slovene; provide them with the English equivalent and repeat the new word at least 3 times in various ways. Some words may be completely new to some pupils, while others will know them.

Subject 2

Place the picture of the bath, the plus symbol (+), the picture of the room, then the picture of the equal symbol (=) on the board. Model the first phrase for the pupils, “Bath plus/and room equals/is bathroom.” Place the picture of the bathroom after the equal symbol. Have the class repeat the phrase.

Place the next 2 nouns in the same style beneath the first example. Have a pupil or two2 try to read the expression. The following are the compound noun expressions they will be learning: bath + room = bathroom bed + time = bedtime farm + house = farmhouse wheel + chair = wheelchair snow + ball = snowball sun + light = sunlight hand + bag = handbag gold + fish = goldfish Visual Grammar example

Subject 1 Have the children stand up and find some space on the floor. Show the video of counting by body parts or demonstrate counting by ones. If you do not have the video, count using your body, starting from right to left, feet first, until you reach above your head. Repeat 3 times to warm the children up. Start slowly at first. See the instructions below.

1 (place right hand on right foot), 2 (place left hand on left foot), 3 (place right hand on right knee), 4 (place left hand on left knee), 5 (place right hand on right side of waist), 6 (place left hand on left side of waist), 7 (place right hand on right shoulder), 8 (place left hand on left shoulder), 9 (place right hand on right side of head), 10 (place left hand on left side of head), 11 (place right hand above head in the air), 12 (place left hand above head in the air).

Continue the same pattern from the beginning for numbers 13–24.

On the second time counting, show and tell the pupils to close their right hand and make a fist. The left hand remains open. They still do the same movements with the hands, but they are to speak the number when they touch with their left hand (the open hand) only, and whisper the number when they touch with the right hand (the closed hand). Essentially they are reciting the 2 times multiplication tables. Give an example of the first 4 numbers.

Topic 1

Show the pupils the picture of an apple and that of a banana and tell them “This is an apple. And this is a banana.” Using actions, instruct your pupils to push their chairs in and stand beside their desks. You do not need to explain any vocabulary at this point, but you may want to elicit the words apple and banana. You have already explained to them what you will be doing and talking about at the beginning of the lesson. Introduce the song “Apple and Banana, Please” in a rote fashion (teacher sings and pupils repeat each line). Have the pupils march or skip to the beat while singing. When singing the vocabulary, use flash cards of the items that are mentioned in the song (e.g. pointing to the apple or banana). The pupils do the same. Add new vocabulary each week and repeat the vocabulary of the previous weeks.

Topic 2

Instruct your pupils to get their flash cards and come and sit down on the floor. Make certain that you are by the board. Try to have real items of the food you were singing about during that lesson ready or use flash cards instead (e.g. an apple, a banana, cheese, a small carton of milk, bottle of juice, etc.). Pick an item and ask the pupils, “What is this?” Make gestures to ensure your pupils understand what you are asking them. If they are not sure, you can answer, “This is a …” Expect answers in Slovene, but repeat them in English so that the pupils are exposed to the vocabulary as much as possible. It will eventually sink in. Some pupils will speak up in English sooner than others. Encourage them, but never force pupils into speaking up before they are ready. Take a look at the questions you want to reinforce for the week. Each week builds upon the previous week. Prepare your shapes. Try emphasizing the words in the phrase differently each time to create different tones in your speaking. For example, stress This in “This is an apple” or banana in “This is a banana.”

Topic 3

Use the visual grammar shapes as cues each time the pupils correctly form the sentence being learned. Place the picture of the banana in the correct part of the sentence. Do the same with the other pictures. You can eventually have the children place the picture in the correct position within the sentence. If there are any children in the class who are capable of remembering what was being taught, use them to ask questions, “What is this?” and have them ‘be the teacher’.

Topic 4

Have the children take out their happy/sad face card from their flash card pack. Ask them, “Do you like apples?” Elicit a response of yes by pointing to the happy face and nodding your head, or no by pointing to the sad face and shaking your head (faces from topic 1, week 3, lesson 2). The question, “Do you like …?” is a review from topic 1, week 3, lesson 2 – GUM. During this topic, introduce and reinforce the question, “Who likes apples?” in the first half of the topic. Start by asking the question, “Do you like apples?” Have pupils raise their like symbol and have other pupils answer in the class. Now ask, “Who likes apples?” Elicit the response, “Ana likes apples.” Use the visual grammar below to model the sentence. Have another pupil answer the question about who does not like apples in the class. During the second half of the topic, introduce and reinforce the question, “Who does not like apples?” Have pupils raise their dislike symbol, and have other pupils answer in the class. Elicit the response, “Ana does not like apples.”

Additional items: Orff instruments: maracas, triangle, cymbals, bells, sticks.

Worksheet

Subject 1 Have the pupils sit at their desks. Introduce the names of the 5 Orff instruments. You can ask them the questions, “What is this? What are these?” to see what they recall and remember. If they do not know the English name for an instrument, give it to them in English.

Begin with reviewing loud and soft. Ask the pupils if they think the triangle is a loud or a quiet instrument. Emphasize the words loud and quiet with the loudness of your voice. Elicit the response, “It is a quiet instrument. OR The triangle is a quiet instrument.” Demonstrate the long sound of the triangle. Ask the pupils if they think the triangle has a long or short sound.

Emphasize the words long and short with the length of the word when you speak these words. Elicit the response, “It has a long sound. OR The triangle has a long sound.” Demonstrate the length of the sound as long.

Review the other 4 instruments in the same manner.

Subject 2 Hand out copies of the worksheet to the class.

Have the pupils look at the first line. Ask the pupils to read the first line using the words long and short. Elicit the response, “Short (1 beat), short, short, short, long (holding the word long for 4 counts).” Have the class repeat, then read the first 2 lines.

Ask a pupil to read the third and fourth lines. As the pupils are reading individually or as a class, make certain that you point to the instrument they are reading about and keeping with the tempo as much as possible. Have the class read the first to fourth lines together.

Repeat the same structure with the second half of the page. Try to have the class as a whole read the second line together.

Have the pupils look at the first 2 lines. Ask the pupils to read the first line using the words loud and quiet using what they had learned at the beginning of the class which corresponds to the instruments. Elicit the response, “Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet (4 counts).” Have the class repeat, then read the first two lines. Ask a pupil to read the third and fourth lines. Cymbals are the only loud instrument (really).

Reflect & Connect Show the pupils on the visual timetable that it is now time for you to speak Slovene. Have the pupils sitting on the floor and ask them in Slovene whether or not they think they understood what was being taught/learned so far (including the weather song, seasonal song/poem/verse/recitation). Some example questions and statements could be: 路 Tell me what you liked about this activity. 路 What did you find challenging about this activity? 路 Was learning today easier or more difficult than you thought? Tell me why you thought so. 路 2 thumbs up if you could remember 2 or 3 words.

PART B: Review of Topic 4 (FAMILY) Week 4 – Lesson 1 – MAT Lesson objectives PART A: Recognizing family members, learning to read sentences represented by shapes.

PART B: Skip counting, reviewing word problems and stories.

NB

In the introduction and warm-up tell the pupils what they will be learning about in MAT, and the expressions they will be learning.

What you will need for today – checklist: Visual Timetable: movement, teacher, MAT, greeting, song/tongue-twister, good-bye.

Weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, stormy, foggy, snowy.

Worksheet.

Subject 1 Have the children stand up and find some space on the floor. Show the video of counting by body parts or demonstrate counting by ones. If you do not have the video, count using your body, starting from right to left, feet first, until you reach above your head. Repeat 3 times to warm the children up. Start slowly at first. See the instructions below.

1 (place right hand on right foot), 2 (place left hand on left foot), 3 (place right hand on right knee), 4 (place left hand on left knee), 5 (place right hand on right side of waist), 6 (place left hand on left side of waist), 7 (place right hand on right shoulder), 8 (place left hand on left shoulder), 9 (place right hand on right side of head), 10 (place left hand on left side of head), 11 (place right hand above head in the air), 12 (place left hand above head in the air).

Continue the same pattern from the beginning for numbers 13–24.

On the second time counting, show and tell the pupils to close their right hand and make a fist. The left hand remains open. They still do the same movements with the hands, but they are to speak the number when they touch with their left hand (the open hand) only, and whisper the number when they touch with the right hand (the closed hand). Essentially they are reciting the 2 times multiplication tables. Give an example of the first 4 numbers.

1 (place right hand on right foot), 2 (place left hand on left foot), 3 (place right hand on right knee), 4 (place left hand on left knee), 5 (place right hand on right side of waist), 6 (place left hand on left side of waist), 7 (place right hand on right shoulder), 8 (place left hand on left shoulder), 9 (place right hand on right side of head), 10 (place left hand on left side of head), 11 (place right hand above head in the air), 12 (place left hand above head in the air).

Continue the same pattern from the beginning for numbers 13–24.

Subject 2 Hand out copies of the worksheet and tell the pupils to go back to their desks. Tell them to look at number 1. There are 4 boxes in number 1. Read each box and have the pupils repeat. “The grandfather goes to the market. There are 5 apples in a bag.

The grandfather buys 6 bags.” Ask the question, “How many apples does the grandfather have?” Elicit the response, “30 apples.

The grandfather buys 30 apples.”

Write the number sequence on the board: 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30 6 X 5 = 30 Have the class read this equation: 6 groups of 5 equals 30 OR 6 bags of 5 apples are 30 apples.

Number 2 storyline: Mother and father go to a restaurant.

There are 6 sandwiches on a tray.

The mother and father buy 4 trays.

Ask the question, “How many sandwiches do the mother and father buy?”

Elicit the response, “24 sandwiches. The mother and father buy 24 sandwiches.”

Write the number sequence on the board: 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 4 X 6 = 24 Have the class read this equation: 4 groups of 6 equals 24 OR 4 trays of 6 sandwiches are 24 sandwiches.

Number 3 storyline: The uncle and aunt go to a shop.

There are 10 pencils in a box.

The aunt and uncle buy 7 boxes.

Ask the question, “How many pencils do the aunt and uncle have?”

Elicit the response, “70 pencils. The aunt and uncle have 70 pencils.”

Write the number sequence on the board: 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 70 7 X 10 = 70 Have the class read this equation: 7 groups of 10 equals 24 OR 7 boxes of 10 pencils are 70 pencils.

TOPIC 9

PART B: Review of Topic 4 (FAMILY) Week 4 – Lesson 2 – ŠPO/SLO Lesson objectives PART A: Recognizing animals and colours, learning to read sentences represented by shapes.

PART B: Reading pictures to create “The Snake” story, playing out the story.

NB

In the introduction and warm-up tell the pupils what they will be learning about in ŠPO/SLO, and the expressions they will be learning.

What you will need for today – checklist: Visual Timetable: movement, teacher, ŠPO, greeting, song/tongue-twister, good-bye.

Weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, stormy, foggy, snowy.

The Snake: sunny, boy & girl, walk, forest, see, snake, step, bite, doctor, injection, walk, forest.

Subject 1 Make a clearing spacious enough for the pupils to move in the room, then have them sit on the floor. While the pupils are clearing the room, place the pictures of the “The Snake” story on the board in the following order (sunny – boy & girl – walk – forest – snake – step – bite – doctor – injection – walk – forest). Read the story, picture by picture, pointing each time to the appropriate picture in the story. When finished, read the story again in rote form (teacher speaks, pupils repeat). The “–“ indicates the section you read and the pupils repeat. Use gestures or actions for step, walk and bite to enhance the story.

The Snake One sunny day – a boy and a girl – walk to the forest. – In the forest – the boy and the girl – see a snake. – The snake is long and green. – Do not step on the snake! – If you step on the snake, – the snake will bite you. – If the snake bites you, – you need to go to the doctor. – The doctor – will give you an injection. – When you get an injection, – then you can go and walk – in the forest.

For a preview of this activity, go to www.lilibi.si and watch the video.

Subject 2 Time permitting, show a rope and say, “This is a snake. Do not step on the snake. I am the doctor.” (See video for rope actions in the story of The Snake). Have the children line up at one end of the cleared space. Standing in the middle of the space, hold one end of the rope and ask a pupil to hold the other. Say to the children, “The snake is sleeping” (hold the rope still and show the action for sleeping). Say and have the children repeat, “The snake is sleeping.” The pupils must say what the snake is doing before jumping over the rope. You can ask every few pupils, “What is the snake doing?” to reinforce the question. Sway the rope a little and say, “The snake is getting up” (show the action for getting up). The other phrases associated with the snake story are: the snake is washing, the snake is getting dressed, the snake is eating, and the snake is going to school. See video for rope actions. Go as far as you can and continue the story another time. There may not be enough time on the first day when you introduce the story. It will give the children something to look forward to the next time. Tidy the classroom back to its original arrangement.
