This class will be taught to a small group of learners to maximize student learning and engagement with the English language.  Students will be introduced to vocabulary, sight words, and other simple English sentence frames and phrases through out the lesson around a theme being taught for that class.  Themes might be centered around a season, holiday, Science or Social Studies topic. The students will converse with me and other students and be given support through the use of various props to improve student engagement.  These props may include flashcards, TPR (total physical response), sentence frames written on a whiteboard and real objects.  Students will be taught in a small group to improve more time for differentiation per student.  Also a small group gives more time for positive correction and re-enforcement of the language.
