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 clothing called “Ravioli”. Then you will come to the floor and we will learn some new words about articles of clothing. 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) The Comparative Rap The good are getting better and the bad are getting worse.

The big are getting bigger and the small are getting smaller.

The tall are getting taller and the short are getting shorter.

Continue with other opposites in the same manner.

(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.

Go to www.lilibi.si to listen to the song.

Topic 1 Show the pupils the picture of clothes and tell them “Clothing – these are clothes.” 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 clothes. You have already explained to them what you will be doing and talking about at the beginning of the lesson. Introduce the song “Ravioli” in a rote fashion (teacher sings and pupils repeat each line). Have the pupils use gestures while singing (e.g. pointing to the articles of clothing or where the articles of clothing would be found on your body). Each week add the new vocabulary and repeat the previous weeks’ vocabulary.

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

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 articles of clothing you were singing about during the lesson ready (e.g. trousers (pants), shirt, socks, etc.).

Ask the class “What is this?” Make gestures to ensure your pupils understand what you are asking them. If they do not know, you can answer, “This is/these are …” Introduce these by using two fingers when pointing and this by using one finger when pointing. Make gestures to ensure your pupils understand what you are asking them. Use visual grammar for reinforcement of the structure being learned.

You can divide the articles of clothing according to this is and these are on different sides of the board.

Topic 3

Tell the pupils to look at you. Tell them what you are wearing by pointing to your articles of clothing and saying, “I am wearing a shirt. I am wearing socks. I am wearing trousers.” They will see what you are wearing when you point to it. Put up the visual grammar and show the pupils, “I am wearing a shirt.” Have the pupils repeat the phrase.

Ask a pupil (e.g. Jaka), using gestures, “Are you wearing trousers?” Elicit the response, “Yes. I am wearing trousers.” Have the class say, “Jaka is wearing trousers.” Continue asking other pupils in the class in the same manner. Always elicit a response of yes.

Subject 1 Have the children stand up and find some space on the floor. Show the video of counting by body parts or demonstrate counting by ones. If you do not have the video, count using your body, starting from right to left, feet first, until you reach above your head. Repeat 3 times to warm the children up. Start slowly at first. See the instructions below.

1 (place right hand on right foot), 2 (place left hand on left foot), 3 (place right hand on right knee), 4 (place left hand on left knee), 5 (place right hand on right side of waist), 6 (place left hand on left side of waist), 7 (place right hand on right shoulder), 8 (place left hand on left shoulder), 9 (place right hand on right side of head), 10 (place left hand on left side of head), 11 (place right hand above head in the air), 12 (place left hand above head in the air).

Continue the same pattern from the beginning for numbers 13–24.

On the second time counting, show and tell the pupils to close their right hand and make a fist. The left hand remains open.

They still do the same movements with the hands, but they are to speak the number when they touch with their left hand (the open hand) only, and whisper the number when they touch with the right hand (the closed hand). Essentially they are reciting the 2 times multiplication tables. Give an example of the first 4 numbers.

Subject 2 Have the pupils sit on the floor. Invite two pupils, one shorter than the other, to come to the front. Choose the shorter pupil first. Say to the class, “This is Jana. Jana is tall.” Use gestures to show the concept of tall. Have the class repeat these two sentences. Then say to the class, “This is Mina. Mina is taller. Mina is taller than Jana.” Use gestures to show the concept of taller, perhaps even stressing the -er in taller. Have the class repeat these two sentences, “This is Mina. Mina is taller.” Emphasize the words tall and taller using the two2 pupils.

Choose another two pupils to come to the front. As the pupils are coming and going, set up the visual grammar cues as indicated below. Visually put the taller sentence higher. Read the visual grammar again using the pupils Jana and Mina. Have the pupils repeat this. Have the next two pupils stand close to the shapes corresponding to height. Elicit a pupil to try and read the visual grammar cues using his or her classmates. For example, “This is Nika. Nika is tall. This is Anna. Anna is taller.” Help out with the first word if necessary by saying the word this. Ask the class, “Who is taller?” Elicit the response, “Anna is taller.”

Have the pupils work in pairs and decide who is taller. Have a few pupils say their answer to the class.

Choose another two pupils to come to the front of the classroom. As the pupils are coming and going, set up the visual grammar cues so that the second phrase is lower than the first, representing shorter. Repeat the same process with short and shorter as in the instructions above.

PART B: Recognizing sounds in music that are long, short, strong and soft.

NB

In the introduction and warm-up tell the pupils what they will be learning about in GUM.

What you will need for today – checklist: Visual Timetable: winter, teacher, GUM, greeting, song/tongue-twister, good-bye.

Weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, stormy, foggy, snowy.

Musical instruments: a triangle or another instrument where the sound carries for some time, and a drum or another instrument that can play loudly and softly.

Subject 1 Have the pupils remain at their desks. Take a long (big) step, and say, “long” (make certain that when you say long you stretch out the word, for example lo-o-o-ong. Take two long (big) steps, and say, “long, long”. Take three long (big) steps, and elicit the pupils to say “long, long, long”. Take the triangle, ting it once and say, “long”. Take the triangle, ting it 3 times, and elicit the pupils to say, “long, long, long”.

Take a short (small) step, and say, “short”. (make certain that when you say short you say the word quickly). Take two short (small) steps, and say, “short, short”. Take three short (small) steps, and elicit the pupils to say “short, short, short”. Take the triangle, ting it once and say, “short”. Take the triangle, ting it 3 times quickly, and elicit the pupils to say, “short, short, short”.

Take the triangle, ting it 4 times to show the rhythm – long, short, short, long. Elicit the class to tell the length of the notes in words, “long, short, short, long”. Go to the board, draw a series of lines and dots to show this rhythm: ___ . . ___ and have the pupils repeat. Invite a pupil to ting the triangle 4 times. The classmates must guess if the tings were long or short. Another pupil can come up to the board and draw the sounds using long and short lines as provided in the example.

Subject 2 Flex one of your bicep muscles and say, “strong” (make certain that when you say strong you say it louder). Flex each arm and say, “strong, strong”. Flex each arm twice and elicit the pupils to say “strong, strong, strong, strong”. Take the drum, hit it hard twice and say, “strong, strong”. Take the drum, hit it hard twice and 4 times, and elicits the pupils to say, “strong, strong”, and “strong, strong, strong, strong” respectively.

Put a finger to your lips (as if to say sh-h-h-h-h) and say, “soft” (make certain that when you say soft you say the word softly or quietly). Take the drum, softly hit it twice and say, “soft, soft”. Take the drum, hit it hard twice and 4 times softly, and elicit the pupils to say, “strong, strong, soft, soft, soft, soft”.

Take the drum and hit it 4 times to show the rhythm – soft, soft, strong, strong. Elicit the class to tell the loudness of the notes in words, “soft, soft, strong, strong”. Go to the board and draw a series of circles to show this rhythm: o o O O, and have the pupils repeat using words. Invite a pupil to hit the drum 4 times. The classmates must guess if the sounds were strong or soft. Another pupil can come up to the board and draw the sounds using long and short lines as provided in the example.

Have the class repeat these two sentences, “Jana’s trousers are short. Mina’s trousers are shorter.” Emphasize the word short and shorter using the two pupils’ articles of clothing.

Pair up the pupils and practise this phrase. Have some pupils tell something that is shorter with their partner. It could be any article of clothing they know.

Subject 3 Choose another two pupils to come to the front. As the pupils are coming and going, set up the visual grammar cues as indicated below. Read the visual grammar again using the pupils Jana and Mina and put trousers in the appropriate spot.

Have the pupils repeat this. Have the next two pupils stand up. Elicit a pupil to try and read the visual grammar cues using his or her classmates and the word slippers (if they are wearing slippers; if not, use trousers again). For example, “This is Nika.

Nika is wearing slippers. Nika’s slippers are long. This is Ana. Ana is wearing slippers. Anna’s slippers are longer.” Help out with the first word if necessary by saying the word this. See if the pupils can say all three sentences. If not, focus on the last sentence only. Ask the class, “Whose slippers are longer?” Elicit the response, “Ana’s slippers are longer.” Have the pupils work in pairs and decide whose slippers are longer. Have a few pupils say their answers to the class.

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.

Conclusion Tell (gesture) the pupils to stand up to sing the good-bye song in rote fashion until they know the song by heart.

TOPIC 5b

PART B Week 3 – Lesson 1 – GUM Lesson objectives PART A: Recognizing articles of clothing, learning to read sentences represented by shapes.

PART B: Recognizing sounds that are long, short, strong, soft, high and low, learning to read sentences represented by shapes.

NB

In the introduction and warm-up tell the pupils what they will be learning about in GUM, and the expressions they will be learning.

What you will need for today – checklist: Visual Timetable: winter, teacher, GUM, greeting, song/tongue-twister, good-bye.

Weather: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, stormy, foggy, snowy.

Musical instruments: a triangle or another instrument where the sound carries for some time, a drum or another instrument that can play loudly and softly, a xylophone or an instrument that can play high and low notes.

A few Orff instruments for the class to use in pairs or groups of 3.

This lesson reviews, reinforces and builds upon the previous lesson in Topic 5b, Week 2, Lesson 1.

Subject 1 Review what the pupils learned in the previous lessons with long and short notes (using the triangle), and strong and soft sounds (using the drum). Pupils do the actions and play the instruments to help remember and even draw the symbols for these. Please confer with the previously mentioned lessons for details on how the pupils learned these concepts. Review the marks to indicate what was learned: ___ . . ___ and O O o o. You can mix up these four sounds for some extra fun and challenge before moving on to teach them two new sounds. For example: ___ . O o (long, short, strong, soft). Spend a few minutes reinforcing these. Review them in pairs.

Subject 2 Take the xylophone, hit a high note once, then a low note once and say, “high, low” (when speaking the words, use a higher pitch voice for high, standing on your toes, and a lower pitch voice for low, bending your knees a little). The pupils repeat and can do the actions with you for high (standing on their toes) and low (bending their knees a little) a few times. Play four notes – high, high, low, low and elicit the response, “high, high, low, low.” Go to the board, draw a series of marks to show this rhythm: ‘ ‘ , , and have the pupils repeat. Change the pattern – low, high, high, low and elicit the response, “low, high, high, low”.

Have a pupil come to the front to draw the marks on the board. Third time, have a pupil create a four beat rhythm using the two notes. Let the class guess.

Subject 3 Time permitting, combine all three pairs learned (___ . O o ‘ ,) to create a complex rhythm and challenge the pupils to their musical ability.
