Sub Plans
Thank you for being here today!! You are teaching on a 'Day 2’ in the below schedule you will teach 4 classes. One each of third grade, second grade, first grade, and Kindergarten. Each class lasts approximately 75 minutes. The days lessons mainly consist of following my instructions below, playing the videos that match the instructions, and monitoring student work. All of the videos mentioned in the lesson plans are at the bottom of this page. Before the day starts you will need to run copies for the first class as mentioned in the plans below. Thanks for being here, please leave me a note to let me know how it went. This was an unexpected absence, so if anything is not where it should be, please feel free to give me a call. 734-751-1297

3rd - 1st Grade-
Students in 1st through 3rd grades should follow the schedule below. They should start the class by dancing and/or watching and singing along to the Basho song. (First vide0 below).
Ask them what they think the last question in the song ‘Dónde vives?’ Means (where do you live)? Tell classes that if they can figure it out I will give them a punto when I get back (please keep track). Also, tell them that any that you say behave well will get a bonus punto.
Next pass out the 'elefante' story.
After passing out the paper, give students a few minutes to read the story to themselves quietly. Have them whisper to a friend what they think it is about. Next have students follow my instructions in the video to read the story as a class. After this reading, have them break up into groups of between 4-6. One student will be the teacher and read the story in Spanish 1 sentence at a time. The other students will say the English one sentence at a time back. (I will explain in the video). After finishing students answer the questions on the back of the paper.
When they get done with this, they should act out the story. The parts are : "el voz de poder" (the voice of power, AKA narrator), Alicia, Roberto, and hermano (brother). If there is a group of 6 you can also have one person be the 'elefante' and one person be the 'Jacuzzi'. The narrator reads the story, except the lines in bold (which belong to a character). Have groups act this out 2 times. At that point they will need a break. After acting out the story 2 times, they can play charades with our 'lista activa'. These lists should be on the back shelf under the Aztec poster. However, today I think I may have seen them in a stack on my desk. It is a list of '100 most frequently used' words, please let me know if you don't see it. One person acts out a word, the rest guess. The guesser gets to go, or pick the person to go next. They have played this game a lot and will know what to do.
After they've played charades for 10 minutes, have them play the card game called 'Mano Nervioso'. Some of the groups have learned it, and some need to be taught Mano Nervioso (rules below). The first day I wanted to teach this was when I got sick, and the sub didn't understand the game, so some of the kids may need to be retaught. Look over the rules below. If the students know how to play please allow them to play till the end of class (after a quick refresher on the rules). If they don't know and you feel like you can teach them the rules, please do so (there is also a video that shows an example of kids playing below, but does not explain the rules). If this is too hard, they can continue to play charades.
Mano Nervioso
To Play: Play in groups of 4-6. (Can be played with 2-3 if needed.) Ace = 1, 2-10 (2-10), J= 11, Q= 12, K= 13. Divide all of the cards evenly among the players, and use two decks if possible. One person starts by laying a card face up, in the middle, and saying uno (or one— any language works!). The play continues clockwise, laying down cards and counting. When everyone counts to 13, they start back at 1 and count up again. Anytime a number is placed in the middle that matches the number spoken, the players can slap the pile. The first person to hit the card gets the entire pile to keep. The first person to get all the cards in the game wins.
If done early, you can play a song from the show them the new page on my website (by clicking the button below). This has games based on the story you read in class. Students could take turns playing them on your computer and take answers from the class.
If you need a lot more to do (which I doubt as this seems like plenty); you could always show something from my website (students could vote). I don't think you will have that much time though. The website can be found at the button at the bottom of the page that says 'extra for older kids' or by clicking here.
Kindergarten:
Go to my color website by clicking the link below (it will open a different tab so you can have the plans open, and the below page at the same time). All of the videos mentioned in the below plans are here.
http://peplinskispanish.weebly.com/colores.html
Play ‘Los Colores con Basho’ and let them dance to it.
Then play the ‘sombrero azul' story for them from the website.
After that play the "De qué color es" song for them. Pause after each question to have students tell you the answer.
Next they get to do a color by number. There are two color by #s run on my windowsill by my desk. Please give Kindergarteners the one that is a forest scene. It should be on top. Looking at it now I see a typo. The sun is an '11' and it should be a '4'. Please point this out when they are starting. Also, you may need to go over two 'new' colors. One is 'gris' which is grey, and the other is 'arco iris' which is rainbow. The kids have started to hear this, but not been directly told. Give them time to do the color by number.
After coloring let them vote on (and watch) one of the cartoons from the color website (Peppa, Pocoyo, Peep, etc). After that, you can play 4 corners with them. All the students know how to play this game. You will just have to ask who's turn it is to be it.
FYI:
One person is it, they sit in the rocking chair. They count to 10 in Spanish (no peeking). All students sneek to one of 4 corners in the room (they already know them, they are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4). The person that is it calls a corner by it's number (in Spanish of course). If they are in the corner associated with that # they are out. When I play with students I let them get a 'save' by answering a Spanish vocab question. If you aren't a Spanish speaker you can just skip the save and everyone will be out (you will get more rounds in this way). You could play this with any class that needs an extra activity (any grade).
Thank you for being here today! I thought I was getting better, but I was wrong. Please call if you have problems locating anything or have any questions at 734-751-1297. Please leave me a note saying how it went! I know the instructions sound complicated, but it should be easy once everything is going.
