Chinese Animals' Names 118 Flashcards
By Zaazoua Mostapha
Make your ESL classroom look different from a regular education room by Considering these Chinese animals' names flashcards!
Each label takes up 1/12 of a page so they are nice and big, but not too obtrusive. There are 118 flashcards for a total of 10 pages (12 cards per page). Check out the preview to see what it looks like. They each feature the Chinese name of the animal and to help aid meaning, I've included beautiful illustrations.
Also, I'm open to suggestions about other words to add to this set.

4th Grade Sight Word Sentences Booklet - 260 Words
By Sign with me TOD
This product is made for:
As students are learning the ULTIMATE 260 - 4th grade sight words in this product, they will be provided with each word, an example of the word used in a sentence, and the opportunity to make up a sentence themselves using the word. I find that with my students who are Deaf/hard of hearing/ELL, when they make up sentences using each newly learned sight word, it helps them to remember how to spell the word, the meaning, and how it is used. My students love booklets of any kind that they can refer back to. Once they have come up with their sentences, they can include pictures that they print and cut out, draw pictures freehand, or find pictures in a magazine that they can add to each page of the 4th grade sight word booklet that matches each sentence they come up with. This gives students the opportunity to connect what they are learning about in the classroom with their own personal interests. This booklet is rather lengthy, so instead of printing it out, you can display it for the entire class to see as well. This booklet is perfect for students that are on grade level as well as students who require instructional information to be adapted.
If you are interested in the product above, the sight word checklist may be of interest to you as well.
