  • Translation
  • Match Spanish to images (example above!)
  • Review structures within sentences
  • Story Sequencing – find the piece that comes next!
  • First half / Second half of a sentence

These are great for reading and re-reading with a story! I include versions of these puzzles in my El Elefante High Frequency Verbs Unit to give students a chance to interact with the text as they read and put the pieces together!

I can see using this in a lot of ways! If you use Brandon Brown Quiere un Perro in class, how fun would it be to use this poop puzzle to review chunks of the story?! In fact, my friend Heather has a whole bunch of puzzles in fun shapes! Check them out by clicking here!

Instagram post 2190308592450991148_1804092820 As @tinahargaden and Ben Slavic write in A Natural Approach to the Year, isn't it nice that we have a job where we get paid to breathe? 😌 I think we often see or hear about teachers using CI and think it HAS to be super high energy and that doesn't have to be the case. It can be a tranquil environment, both for you and your students. 💛 Some days I love the high energy 🎉 and some days I just want to be calm. 🧘‍♀️ Overall, what do you prefer? More 🎉 or more 🧘‍♀️?

I don't think any educator would dispute the importance of class size. However, I do think people have different opinions as to the ✨ideal✨ class size! So fill me in - what's the perfect number for you? 👇👇👇
