TRANSITION IDEAS FOR PRE-K TO GRADE 1

                There may be times when children need to move somewhere as a group, such as down a hall to a cafeteria or to the playground.

Irregular Verb Activity Ideas
         Beginner to lower-intermediate students of English as a second language, or ESL students, commonly have difficulty correctly recognizing and forming irregular verbs. This is mainly because there is no easy-to-use formula to construct their past tenses and past participle forms. Consequently, any lower-level English language course should contain a range of activities that help students to memorize and produce these verbs.


Storyboards for Teaching
        
            Storyboards are a teaching technique that teachers can employ to help students understand the content of a story. There are several ways to use storyboards in teaching. For example, you can use them to illustrate a story or have your students make their own storyboards to help them understand the subject or book you are teaching.

School Storyboard Project Ideas

                Storyboards are helpful teaching aids used in many different grade levels to assist kids in organizing and presenting their ideas. Storyboards help kids break up big ideas into manageable parts that they can then work with in other ways, such as making them into a written narrative. Almost any idea can be presented in storyboard fashion, but some projects are better suited for a storyboard than others.
