ESL Practice Packs: Charts and Graphs and Solar System


Hello!  Today, I wanted to share two more practice packs!  My goal is to eventually have enough created that my students and I can work through a pack once a month in preparation for the ACCESS test in the spring.  These packs are geared towards 3rd-5th grade students who are at an intermediate to high level of language acquisition. 

 I wanted to center a pack on math vocabulary that would span multiple grades so I chose to use Charts and Graphs as the content theme.  I have found that while my ESL students generally love math, they have a hard time speaking and writing about math concepts.  There is also a listening and reading activity.  This set includes practice interpreting bar graphs, pictographs, circle graphs, and tally charts.  For more information and pictures, click the link below.

 I just finished my Solar System pack this week!  I am excited to use it with my students soon.  It features language activities across the four domains that are focused on objects in our solar system.  In my activities, I have stated that our solar system has eight planets (no Pluto mentioned).   I have included information on the sun, planets, moon, and space rocks.  This packet was just uploaded to TPT today.
