When was the last time you got the call for a baby shower? Amidst the thunder and lightning, I keep my focus on the positive and throw a lively bash for the absolute best in the world: our kids! If you’re an ESL teacher looking to shake up those mundane textbook exercises, then come join our fiesta! Mr. and Mrs. BE have orchestrated the most heartwarming welcome you won’t want to miss!
Who can resist the charm of babies? Even before they make their grand entrance into the world, it’s time to kick up our heels and have a blast! We transform the room into a party wonderland, whip up delightful beverages and scrumptious snacks, and turn our interactive whiteboard into a captivating canvas, replacing ordinary backgrounds with scenes I’ve painted. Then, we dive into the creation of our dynamic learning stations. Each station boasts a thrilling 3D printable activity! There’s an abundance of them, as the ‘to be’ verb comes in various forms—affirmative, interrogative, and negative. We’re here to dazzle in every single one of them, aren’t we? And if this party stretches across multiple days, even better, right? Because who wants to spend all that time on lackluster exercises, filling in mundane blanks, and circling the ordinary?
We are each wonderfully unique, and this awareness is our superpower! As educators, isn’t it our rightful joy to transform the classroom into a realm of inspiration alongside our exceptional students? We don’t just craft impressive lessons for our young learners; we create them to fuel our own passion! When our spirits are alight with enthusiasm, this radiant energy is a gift we generously share with those in our midst. Picture a classroom surrounding a teacher who’s not just teaching but celebrating the magic of learning – in that space, you’ll always discover a tribe of young minds utterly enchanted by the lesson!
The ‘to be’ verb is simply fantastic because we get to teach it across three exciting levels:
Junior A’, Junior B’, and A’ class!
With our little learners, we introduce it carefully, and with the older students, we pick up the pace while keeping it engaging. So, why is this so awesome? Well, it’s because we want our teaching materials to be unforgettable and offer endless possibilities! Plus, who doesn’t adore a good old party? And now, as schools are reopening, what better way to dive back into lessons than with a wonderfully organized surprise? Let’s get ready to have a blast!
For those who know me, it’s no secret that I love to breathe life into language rules, applying them to real-life situations, such as weddings or receptions. But when it comes to a ‘Baby Shower Party,’ this is a first-time revelation. So, I proudly present:
- 35 printable interactive pages,
- I’ve lovingly crafted a portrayal of the ‘BE’ couple, welcoming their cherished guests into their cozy home,
- With great care, I’ve penned down the step-by-step instructions for adorning your classroom,
- Drawing from countless years of hosting parties, I’ve handpicked the standout moments that left the most lasting impressions,
- I’ve included guidance on preparing snacks that perfectly match the occasion,
- And sprinkled in those subtle, magical touches that truly make all the difference.
- Naturally, I’ve compiled all the activities that have charmed and captivated, ready to be printed or showcased on any screen!
- Now, as for those bookmarks you see here, how about gifting them as hidden gems, tucked into your students’ pockets, each one carrying a heartfelt message of welcome from you? A colleague of mine ingeniously rolled them into petite scrolls, fastened with vibrant threads, resembling miniature diplomas!
ll that remains is the joyful anticipation of our students’ arrival. I am poised and ready to commence with a celebration! If you wish to partake in this festive kickoff, simply click here:
