Oral Language and Listening Focus - Marisa

Submitted by Admin (06-11-2012)

« Back to Daily Oral Language / News Session

Hello,

When I had early stage one students I would plan a talking and listening focus each week and send home a term outline to parents. They loved it because they knew ahead what to get ready or look for.

Some of the topics were - * going out to tea at a takeaway, a restaurant, family celebrations, * my house or *whatever I could tie into what we were doing in HSIE or Art or my big book.

Also on Fridays I would pick one of the text types and we would have circle time and do an oral activity on it eg we were looking at a zoo big book so we discussed the pros and cons for zoos and animals in the wild versus animals in the zoo.

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
