For example, if you are practicing the /ae/ sound (like in “cat,” “hat,” etc…, you could read the following script. “Yesterday, my cat ate a plastic toy and swallowed it fast.” Whenever students hear this sound for the first time (cat), they should stand. When they hear it again (plastic), sit down. This is beneficial for ELL because something as simple as developing recognition of a sound may be harder for them as they are not native speakers, so spending time on really listening for these sounds will help in all domains. This also encourages movement in the classroom which I believe to always be better than requiring children to sit in a desk all day.]]> 2022-08-08 20:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2256918668 xiaofeng19514 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2256918669 This activity, as shown in the video below, is a great way for students to get up and moving. Hula Hoops are placed on the ground with numbers in them in sequential order from 1-20 (or any group of numbers that you want your students to review). Then the students are asked to jump in the hoops, like hop scotch, in the correct number order. This scaffolding activity, like the others in the video below can be altered and created based on the students learning level. By creating differentiated groups, you can cater a more individualized learning experience for your students to be successful.

Learning logs are a great tool to use as a formative assessment for ELLs. Students can document their learning process throughout a lesson and then write a reflection once the lesson is completed. This gives them not only practice with writing in English, but also mastering the concepts they are learning by representing them creatively visually through sketches and developing metacognition as they write and think about the learning they are doing as they are doing it. Its a great assessment at the end of a lesson to see what the students took from it as well as at the end of the year for teachers, parents, and students to look back on what the student learned as well as how their writing and thought processes have developed throughout the year!]]> 2022-08-08 20:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2256918681 amh49185 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2531841811 2023-03-26 14:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2531841811 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2533729341 Any form of using the scaffolding strategy of a Paraphrase Passport requires a child to listen intently to the child who speaks before his or herself.

The students are put into two groups, half are "within" the fishbowl (in the center of the room) and discuss/question/answer/reflect on the topics of the class. Meanwhile the students "outside" the fishbowl (standing around those in the middle) listen and pay close attention. The students then swap places and those originally within the bowl listen, while those originally outside now discuss further. This can go on multiple rounds to encourage deeper discussion and reflection for the students' work, based on peer communication.]]> 2023-04-03 21:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2542763732 hopkinssam1713 https://padlet.com/xiaofeng19514/d7zvvxamvi4s3j76/wish/2543142145 This scaffolding strategy is a visual demonstration of how to write text.

I love this strategy because it can be integrated within all subject areas and can be done in various ways, such as discussion in small groups, pairs, or with the whole class. The teacher can create questions for students to respond to as they move around the room, or students can create a story/responses to a story that could be used as the topics.

I use these strategies to help my students at the YMCA learn to swim. For example, we play "Simon Says" and it allows the kids to engage in the activity and build awareness of what they are doing.
