Today, my teaching partners and I decided to focus on the first season in the book we made for our students: Winter. Our teaching activities focused on building English vocabulary and connecting text to world. After singing the hello song with our children, we moved to reading aloud our entire book. Next, I taught a song about activities to do in the winter-time. One of our motions in the song was to move our poles while skiing, as you can see in the attached gif. Our students LOVED this and kept doing it throughout the rest of our lesson. Picture of me quizzing the kids on certain words in our song, such as ski, poles, skate, snow, cold, shiver, etc. Students had to tell me the Italian translation for the English word I said. I also did motions for some of the words which made them laugh. After the song and quizzing, my partner led the students in matching certain words from our book to their Italian translation. This can be seen on the upper page in our student's notebook. We then had them draw a picture of what winter looks like to them, as can be seen in the lower page in our student's notebook.

What a great lesson and great pictures to really bring it to life! I love that the pictures illustrate you are using some great multi-modal teaching strategies. Keep up the good work!

My name is Nicholas and I am a music education major with a minor in philosophy, my primary instrument is percussion, and my dream is to someday teach elementary general music. Through this program, I hope to increase my pedagogical repertoire and empathy when working with English language learners, to learn about myself as an individual, and to make an impact in the lives of the children in Torremaggiore, Italy.
