This is an ESL classroom in a Muslim country. I teach English, Math, Science. The students are all girls. They live in a town outside of the city. The school and the surroundings have far less resources than those in the city. It seems that most of the girls did not come to my class with enough prior knowledge from 1st grade so I am needing to start there.
The instructional base I will start at is First grade. For differentiation I will give some students 2nd to 3rd grade level activities and for some I will give Kindergarten activities. There are skills that all of the students need to learn regardless of current levels so I will focus on 1st grade material to introduce those skills.
Materials Needed That I Don't Already have:
Headphones
Tape Decks
Clothes Pins
Folders of Different Colors
Projector!!!!!
Letters for Each Week:
T, V, Q, Y, Z, W, X, B, P, C, S, K -
Weekly Letters to Correspond With Alphabet Resource Pack:
Vocabulary Linked to Letter, Sight Words in Readers, Sentence Building in Readers, Drawing and Writing Exercise in Pack

1. Initial Sound: Focus on matching words/pictures with same initial sound.

A pretty diverse vocabulary is needed for these aims to be achieved. I will utilize the Alphabet Pack as much as possible at first and will need to introduce other words for the students to be able to do these activities. I will make the activity cards provided in the link given to me by Dr. Christy into flashcards initially to help the students to become aware of the words and sounds.

If I can get the students through Grade 1 to the beginning of Grade 2 before they go to 3rd grade it will be a miracle. I am not sure if I will be able to get them through grade 2 so they are ready for grade 3. I am not sure how much time I will need to spend on each target. I am thinking at least 2 weeks for each one.
