Hey Ben –
Here’s my 1st attempt at sharing my classroom T/CI practice via video demo. I want to both up my game and contribute/give back to the professionals from whom I’ve learned so much.
Notes:
These are beginner 1st graders who’ve had 3×30 or 90 minutes/week Spanish instruction since October. We got off to a very slow start due to two major behavior issue kids who were removed from the class in November. So they’ve had very little Spanish.
Also, the boy came in with the paper crown, and everyone clamored, “We have to celebrate Xs B-day!” They’ve come to expect and do love the celebración en español. It was a very tame celebration compared to the older kids, who get loud and raucous. Notice the blonde girl on the bottom left who is bowing to the Birthday King.
The (background) easel with target structures is for a different grade/MT.
These kids demonstrate lots of comprehension, right?
Enjoy and feel free to share (on the PLC) a window into my world!
Best,
Alisa Shapiro-Rosenberg
