Intro 1 Explain to pupils in Slovene how the lesson will proceed by displaying the visual timetable (see example above). Place the visual timetable on the board or have a ready-made frame for it hung on the wall and stick pictures to it.

Intro 2 Inform the children when you will be speaking Slovene (at the beginning – intro – and during the Reflect & Connect sections) otherwise you will be speaking only in English to the pupils. You can even put a picture of yourself on the visual timetable to indicate the times you will be speaking to them in Slovene. You may even wish to ask a pupil to put the pictures up as you explain the timetable. You can explain the timetable by saying: For example (in Slovene): “Today we will begin with our greeting/hello song followed by our pointing poem, tonguetwister on sausages, and our weather song. Then we will sing a song/recite a poem about transportation called “Red Light, Green Light” .Then you will come to the floor and we will learn some new words about transportation. When you see my picture, we will talk in Slovene and you can tell me what you think and how you feel about what we have learned today so far. I will ask a few different pupils each time. Then we will continue with math. We will start by counting using our bodies and learn about (see PART B). After the math section, you can tell me in Slovene about what you know and understand. We will finish our lesson with our good-bye song/poem.”

Your pupils will appreciate knowing exactly what they are doing at every stage of the lesson. Pupils of all learning abilities and disabilities will be able to follow the structure and rhythm of the lesson. It should also help with minimizing any pupil disturbances.

Greeting song

Start your lesson with the greeting song or recitation. Add actions to the song when you can (e.g. shake hands when you say “welcome”, wave your arm for “come on in”,and jump and throw your hands up in the air when you say “fun”, etc.).

Greeting song/recitation Welcome, Welcome Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

Come on in and join the fun. School is fun for everyone.

Welcome, welcome to our class. We’re so glad you’re here.

This song is sung to the tune of Old MacDonald. Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

Seasonal song Follow the greeting song with a short and quick song, poem, tongue-twister, recitation and/or verse. This will help the children to get their tongues and mouths warmed up for English, and add a bit of laughter and expression each time. Try to add a few gestures and actions if possible.

Seasonal song/poem/recitation/verse/tongue-twister (examples) Oh, how I’d like to travel far.

Go by train, by plane, by boat, by car.

Not on foot nor will I go by bike.

To travel far is what I’d like.

(Or the teacher chooses what they think is relevant to add to the existing curriculum.)

Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to ideas for this section.

Weather song Conclude with the weather song. Make certain you place the weather picture on the visual timetable according to the weather on the day that you are singing the song.

Weather song How’s the Weather?

How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY (depending on the weather that day).

How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY. How’s the weather? It’s SUNNY. It’s SUNNY today.

Topic 1 Show the pupils the picture of a traffic light and tell them “This is a traffic light. It has a red light, a yellow light and a green light.” Using actions, instruct your pupils to push their chairs in and stand beside their desks. You do not need to explain any vocabulary at this point, but you may want to elicit the word traffic light. You have already explained to them what you will be doing and talking about at the beginning of the lesson. Introduce the song “Red Light, Green Light” in a rote fashion (teacher sings and pupils repeat each line). Have the pupils march or skip to the beat while singing. When singing the vocabulary, add gestures (e.g. hand out to indicate stop, shaking finger for do not go away). The pupils do the same. Start the first week by reviewing last year’s vocabulary. During the second week add the new vocabulary and repeat the previous weeks’ vocabulary. To learn the greatest number of types of transportation, use one type for each light and/or zebra crossing as in the song example.

For a preview of this activity, go to www.lilibi.si and watch the video.

Topic song

Red Light, Green Light Red light, red light, what do you say?

I say, “Stop the car, and do not go away.”

Yellow light, yellow light, what do you mean?

I mean, “Stop the bus and wait till it is green.”

Green light, green light, what do you say?

I say, “The bike can go. Go, now. It’s OK!” Zebra crossing, zebra crossing, what do you say?

I say, “Stop, look and wait till the truck has gone away.”

This song is sung to the tune of Red Light. Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

TOPIC 2

Transportation

Topic 2 Instruct your pupils to get their flash cards and come and sit down on the floor. Make certain that you are by the board.

Have the flash cards of the modes of transportation you were singing about during the lesson ready (e.g. bike, bus, car, train, taxi, etc.). Pick a card, review and ask the pupils, “What is this?” Elicit answer, “This is a …” Expect answers in Slovene, but repeat them in English so that the pupils are exposed to the vocabulary as much as possible. It will eventually sink in. Some pupils will speak up in English sooner than others. Encourage them, but never force pupils into speaking up before they are ready. Take a look at the questions you want to reinforce for the week. Each week builds upon the previous week. Prepare your shapes. Try emphasizing the words in the phrase differently each time to create different tones in your speaking. For example, stress This in “This is a car” or bike in “This is a bike”.

Topic 3 Review other expressions from last year such as, “What does Lili have?” Elicit, “Lili has a ___.” You can introduce, “Who has a bus?” Elicit, “Lili has a bus.” In the first week, introduce the prepositions: next to, in front of, behind and between. In the subsequent week, reinforce the prepositions. Play a preposition game (similar to “Simon Says”) where you put your hands in front of your body and say “in front of”, put them behind your body and say, “behind”, to the side of you and say, “next to”, between your knees and say, “between”. You can start by saying “Simon says, between”. Pupils put their hands between their knees and say “between”. Take two pictures of modes of transportation and place them one next to the other on the board, then ask, “Where is the bus?” Model verbally and then using the grammar shapes. “The bus is next to the car.” Pupils model after you speak and then show the visual grammar and model again. Use various items from this section to reinforce the new preposition. For example, “The train is in front of the bus. The bike is behind the taxi.” Children can physically position themselves instead of the flash cards, too. For example, “Jana is between Jaka and Mihaela.”

Topic 4 Use the visual grammar shapes as cues each time the pupils correctly form the sentence being learned (e.g. “This is a bus.”

– see example below). Place the picture of the bus in the correct part of the sentence. Do the same with the other pictures.

You can eventually have the children place the picture in the correct position within the sentence. If there are any children in the class who are capable of remembering what was being taught, use them to ask questions, “What is this?” and have them ‘be the teacher’.

TOPIC 2

Reflect & Connect Show the pupils on the visual timetable that it is now time for you to speak Slovene. Have the pupils sitting on the floor and ask them in Slovene whether or not they think they understood what was being taught/learned so far (including the weather song, seasonal song/poem/verse/recitation). Some example questions and statements could be: 路 Tell me what you liked about this activity. 路 What did you find challenging about this activity? 路 Was learning today easier or more difficult than you thought? Tell me why you thought so. 路 2 thumbs up if you could remember 2 or 3 words.

Subject 2 Put a picture of Bine on the board, followed by the see flash card, then the number 6 card, an adjective blank shape (tell them it means small, showing them the meaning with a gesture) and the car flash card. Ask the class to read the pictures. Elicit, “Bine sees 6 small cars.” Use the visual grammar shapes as cues each time the pupils attempt to speak the sentence. Below the pictures on the board, put a picture of Lili, followed by a picture of see, the number 8, an adjective (tell them it means small) and the car flash card. Ask the class to read the pictures.
