In circle time we can use the sentence
structure ... comes from ... that we
studied last week and apply the new
vocabulary words to it for further
practice. It is important to review
sentences with new vocabulary so
that the students understand when
to use it appropriately. The memory
game lends itself particularly well to
this week's topic as we can use it to
practice the long vocabulary list, and
we should continue to practice the
songs from the past few units at the
beginning of the day so that students
do not lose the vocabulary words.
