Middle School Books (Jumping Kids)

Thank goodness I don't have to work with a book. The themes are awkward and some of the tasks are mundane! I have the freedom to do what I want with my learners although sometimes you don't know where to start. I have used some of the better themes in some books just to get lesson outlines.

Grade 1 Talk Together activities for chapters 1-5. My first grade classes are mixed so I tried to aim for the middle with these activities.

-Grade 1 Lesson 1 Dialogue Halves
-Grade 1 Lesson 2 Running Dictation
-Grade 1 Lesson 3 Yugioh Bomb Game
-Grade 1 Lesson 4 Speed Row Dialogues (It's a few slides down in the powerpoint)
-Grade 1 Lesson 5 Speed Game

Grade 1 Talk Together activities for lessons 6-9. Directions for these activities are in one of my previous posts.

Grade 2 Talk Together activities for lessons 7-9 (Lesson 6 was too large)

a presentation for the first 2 activities in lesson 7: a necklace in the grass. Also included a clapgame to help drill the vocab. This is meant to be done with the listening and talking exercises (a+b)

here's my PPT on our dreams lesson 9, i basically stuck to the book on this and borrowed a few phrases here and there... its really tough coming up with something with so little.

RLOL, we just switched our 1st grade book...

Here are my notes for first week notes for Grade 2 and 3...

To get ideas for my grade 3 lessons, I started scouring the forums for other books... I think this celebrity intro game might be a fun alternative for the first "talk together" activity in Lesson 1. I'm going to try to tailor it to the lesson for our book and repost, but here's the original:

Here are my PowerPoints for grade 3 of Sharp William Edward (blue cover jumping kids) Lesson 7 through 9. I teach the same chapter twice in two weeks, so it has a week 1 and week 2 format. For my lesson 9 week 2, I used mycombs "Beauty of Hangeul" lesson as a template, but chopped it up to fit lesson 9 for grade 3: Korea is a Great Country. You can find his PowerPoint on pg 2, towards the bottom.

For lesson 8 week 2, word search team battle, just find a word search generator online. I like this site's generator: http://www.puzzle-maker.com/WS/ but http://tools.atozteacherstuff.com/word-search-maker/wordsearch.php is also a good one.

I hope this helps any new teachers with game ideas and lesson planning.

thanks
