Hello, teachers!
Este archivo es una salita de espera con la canción "This is Halloween" y conteo regresivo de 5 minutos. No es editable. Crea un poco de expectativa en tus clases para celebrar Halloween.

¡Espero te sirva!

Imprime y plastifica esta "waiting room", en cada número pon pinzas de ropa u otro tipo marcadas con el mismo número. De esta forma, cada vez que necesites revisar actividades o resolver consultas individuales puedes darle un turno a tus estudiantes, para trabajar su paciencia y disminuir su ansiedad. Una vez que atiendes a un estudiante, el devuelve el número y continuas la cuenta. 

The main objective is to put the words in order to create sentences. It is good when your students just start practising writing. I normally pre-teach some vocabulary and then ask them to do this type of activity. 

I always ask my students to write sentences with the new vocabulary. It doesn't matter if the sentences are short. They just need to stop feeling afraid of writing. They think is too difficult.
My task is to change their minds. One way to do it is by showing them pictures. They'll have 1 minute to write a sentence (using a timer can make it funnier).
If they don't know how to do it, try giving them examples.
I recommend grouping the pictures by topic: animals, feelings, weather, etc.

We paste this file on the students table and it helps them when they want to write or said numbers using hundreds, tens and ones. This gives then more autonomy so the teacher doesn’t have to write them every time it is needed.

This booklet is for students to learn step by step how to write an essay, and follow the writing process. It helps students organize their ideas and end up with a good piece of writing. You might want to spend some lessons showing different essays and teaching the structure of a formal essay, to make sure students understand what they need to do. 
It is important to model each part of the writing process.
