 This is the sixth theme from the series of 30 units for the Preschool-Kindergarten English Language Learners. Here are some teaching ideas to wrap up the unit and to make it more time-efficient.

Face unit


Craft. Make paper bag puppets! Fun and easy. Students can use it to greet people to say good bye and to repeat vocabulary for this unit and any other. The puppet can be used to review the face parts. 

a video on how to put them together.


Face Unit Awards. Print the trophies to hand in to the students for all the hard work to end the theme.
A video. Take a look!

Cardigan Buttons
I printed the images and traced onto felt. Cut all the pieces and cut a slit in the middle to pass through the button of the cardigan. The eye was the most difficult one, just pass one piece of the layers of the eye at a time. If you do your cardigan I would love to see it.

HOLIDAYS!

                       

This is a worksheet that connects the parts of the face with the Mother, to create a Mother's Day portrait. Students will draw the parts of the face on the template to recreate their mom.This is an engaging art activity, just add yarn to the hair, wiggly eyes, etc.

         Make a Valentine's Day printable book around the face unit. Students should be able to identify and use the new words.

           Have the students color the facial feature on each page.

                     There is an added puppet template to play along.



And the Resources for St. Patrick's Day! Have the students add the facial features. They can even add an emotion as in my example.
Have the students decribe what they drew.
Student: He has blue eyes, an orange nose and a red mouth. 
He is happy.
Teacher: Color his hair orange!
If you have gone over the clothes, have them color the clothing items as you dictate them.

Easter Ideas for Preschool ELL

Easter Peeps crown. Children can color the peeps in several colors and make patterns before gluing them onto the crown. I used corrugated cardboard for the crown. 



Here are some things that I had in my files that I hadn´t posted before. I will share the templates if asked.(ei98srl@gmail.com)
Bunny Mask. I made mine using fun foam, I love creating things with this material. I added a wood stick to use as photo prop.

Bunny windsock. I thought I didn´t have a picture for this. I made it out of cardboard and crepe paper for the tails. And the wind did its job.


Another fun foam craft.





Easter eggs sight words. When my twins were in lower elementary I would make all kinds of games to make them review grammar points. Here is one that we did on Easter vacation, I carried all my eggs to the hotel room. This resource is from www.childcareland.com. I have the file, write if you want it.


Paper bag puppets. I am making a collection of paper bag puppets. Check on the labels section on the right and you´ll see how many I have made.


 Another craft for giving treats to the students.


I thought it was an adorable craft to make.


And my favorite bunny twin. A mom friend painted her face and she looked so cute.

Pet Activities for Preschool ELL

Link to the files:
Pet unit Worksheets:  Since all children have a responsible tutor, there will always be a need for a book or worksheets to evidence learning and work at school. Include a fun way to complete the worksheet and then provide a meaningful activity to do with them.                                    
                         Worksheet 1:  

                                                   Dictate how to color each pet.
                   Teacher: Color the dog black. Trace the word "dog".

Give students soda bottle caps. Have the students place a bottle cap on a pet after you make a noise.
Teacher: orange bottle cap! Bow-bow.

Worksheet 2 Frame. Children draw their favorite pet if they have one or the one they would like to have. They can bring in pictures to glue on the frame. Children cut the frame and show their drawing to the class describing the pet. 
Then, graph the pets. Call on a pet and have the students gather in a group with their frame in hand. When all the groups are together have them count how many pets are in each group. If you have a pocket chart place the results.

Worksheet 3:  preposition.
Place the chair and the box cutout on the board. Put the cat on the chair.

Give each student the worksheet Where ? and three cats. Have them color the cats and glue them  in, on, and under the box/chair. Students come up front and show their work.
Students: The gray cat is on the chair. 
The black cat is under the chair.
 The brown cat is in the box.
Worksheet 4. Emotions. Use the cutouts or the flashcards to review the emotions.

Continue with all the cutouts.

Students: a happy red dog!
 
Pet worksheet to sort the animals according to their emotions.
Have the students color the animals as you assign a color to each one.
Teacher: The happy cat is brown.
Continue with all the animals.
Then, the students cut all the cards and sort them on their desks.
Teacher: Happy! Students place all the happy animals together.  Continue with sad and angry.
Give instructions to sort the animals by color, and by pet. Hand in a construction paper so students can glue the animals they sorted.

Worksheet 5: Feed the animals.  Children draw food for each animal. Discuss what kind of food do the pets eat.
Make animal puppets to feed by gluing them onto empty toilet paper rolls. 
Cut a slit on the pets´ mouths. Use the vegetable cutouts to feed the animals.
You can also use empty boxes to glue the animals.
worksheet 6. Draw the face. Have the students complete each pet´s face. They can come to the front and describe the animals to the class
Flashcards:
Teacher: What is it ?
Students: It´s a dog.

Teacher: make a dog sound!
Students: bow-bow.
Here´s a list of the animal sounds in English.
Bird= tweet, dog= woof, cat=meow, rabbit=thump, frog= ribbit
The students can download the flashcards to their tablet and read the flashcards, even more now with the distance learning. Take a look at the video.
Get a colored sheet of paper the same size as the flashcard. Cut several stars  in the sheet. Cover the flashcard with star colored sheet. Have the students guess the pets by peeking through the stars.Flashcards and Numbers. Place all the number flashcards in a row. Have the students read each number in order and in random order. Then have the students name all the pets.
Teacher: Number 4 !
Students: a green turtle
Teacher: happy dog
Students: Number 8.

Cutouts.
Get 6 plastic plates and glue an animal on each one. Have the children sort all the cutouts and label the pets.
And the pets live in a place.

Pets and things book. There are things that are associated to each animal.
 The book comes with cutouts for extra practice.Place all the items related to the animals in random order. Make 5 groups. Assign a pet to each one, give them a pet cutout.  At your signal, have a designated student run to the board, find the items related to their animal, come to their group and arrange the objects with the other members.
Letter arts and crafts. You like it so much that I keep on making more to add up to your collection.
