Teaching Tip #12

Don't just sit there!

With any new word, say it at least three times while DOING SOMETHING. In class, we shake a maraca for each syllable of a new word, or to cheer when a word is remembered correctly (it's quieter than clapping!) 

To use the same maracas Sra. Gose uses, check out the Order Page

Colors: Have your student color circles (or anything) and repeat the color three times while coloring.

Animals (a): touch a picture of the animal, say it three times as you tap the picture with each repetition.

Animals (b): acting out animals (flying around the room and “singing” pájaro, pájaro, pájaro works wonders!) also will solidify the vocabulary.

Adjectives: act out the words and say it three times
