Ocean /Sea Decor Set

So... finally got away for a well-earnt school holiday break and visited some beautiful beaches down the coast. It was great to get some fresh air, beach and exercise. AND it has inspired me to create a new decor (decoration) set for classrooms, which you can check out here:

I had a lot of fun making these sea critters! I was thinking today that you could even print them, cut them out and hang them from the ceilings, so it felt like you were in the sea! (: Some of the nametags etc would be big enough..Otherwise, I hope people enlarge the posters (:

Preposition of Place Flashcards

These are fun cards to teach where things are. The set has 9 flashcards showing prepositions of place (on, under, behind, next to, in front of, in, out and around).

Each card has a cute illustration showing the target preposition, the word by itself and a sentence describing the scene.

These can be used for younger students or as an ESL (TESOL) resource. It is an especially good resource for reading recovery.

Flashcards are a fun and engaging way to teach. The pictures involve the students in looking at and describing the scene and the language targets are broken down into an easy to understand format. They also brighten up your classroom, and are useful in language assessments or display lessons.

I made myself a handrawn version of these when I was teaching TESOL many years ago. I found that they were a good way to really see where a younger student was at, as I could test vocabulary and sentence structure using the images only (written and all verbal), without using a written test (much more fun, age appropriate and far less scary). As few children knew all of the prepositions, you could uncover the writing and go through the sentences with them. This way they picked up something quickly so had a sense of achievement. The students were engaged and the parents felt like it was worthwhile (: In this way, you can engage speaking skills along with written skills, rather than secondary to them.
