US Grade Preschool

Beginner Level

In this ongoing class, preschoolers will be introduced to different beginner German vocabularies. We will cover a new topic in each week that will fit into our monthly theme, but practice greetings, counting and colors in most classes.  We will start each class with an hello song and often sing a song that relates to the monthtly content.
Here is what we will cover in each week: 

Week of  08/09/2021: Colors and the butterfly 
Week 2: 08/23/2021: Colors and the lady bug
Week 3: 09/20/2021: Numbers and School 
Week 4: 09/20/2021: Colors and School 

Here are our monthly themes: 

September: School
October: Fall and Halloween
November: Food
December: German Christmas
January: Winter
February: Pets and Valentines 
March: Zoo
April: Spring/Farm
May: Body Parts
June: Summer 
July: Bugs 

Each class will have a similar structure: 
1. Hello Song
2. Greetings
3. Song
4. New Vocabulary 
5. Activity/Game

I am using Powerpoint with fun pictures to get students engaged. I will also use short youtube videos for some of my songs. This course is great for absolute beginners but also works well for students who are bilingual speakers and need more reinforcement in speaking German. 
*I will speak a mixture of German and English in this class, because my main focus is to motivate students to learn a new language. It often scares students if I use German only and I noticed that they are much more motivated when I use a mixture of both languages. Please let me know if you are interested in a full immersion preschool class and I will consider offering it.*
I hope to see you in my class!

Hello! My name is Frau Collett (Mrs. Collett). I am a native German speaker. I lived the first 24 years of my life in Germany and have lived 13 years in the US. I have a Masters degree in Early Childhood and Elementary School Education. I have been an Elementary School teacher at a German Elementary School for five years and an online teacher for another 5 years. I also taught students German as a second language.

I love teaching and hope I will see you in my classroom!
