Animal Habitat Sorts
I'm very happy with this new product that I've been working on this summer. My English learners love cut/paste sorts as a general rule and this one I can see will be a keeper, at least for my purposes. I love animals and reading about them to the kids, so this fits right into the mix. My plan is to do a unit on biomes with read-aloud books, mini-lessons on word work, and lots of writing. I want to introduce each biome and read a picture book pertaining to that biome. I plan to do all the biomes represented in this packet (I hope I have time!) The sorts in this packet will be a culmination for this theme. All throughout I will need to make some judgement calls as to the types and amounts of writing I require for each group. I'm pretty sure I can differentiate this to most of my groups. I'm excited about this one. Here is the link if you would like to pick up the sorts:
Dear Jackie, I found your " the Five Stages of Language Acquisition Made Easy..." on the web and shared it with my ENL ( English as a New Language) Consortium teachers. We are in the process of putting together a toolkit of ideas and information for teachers and parents of ENL kids. It is so beautifully written and practical that we would like to include it in our toolkit, with your permission. ( Without your permission we will have to write something ourselves, but yours is done so well...) May we please have your permission to include "Five Stages" with our toolkit- in writing?
