Fishing Pond

Materials to prepare

• Connect your computer to the classroom screen and speakers. Check sound before children arrive. Internet is needed.
• Preview the activity and writing sheets. Print enough for your group, prepare word cards and an exit check, and keep the teacher guide nearby. Cut cards and print the matching spaces at the same scale.
• Printed sheets and seven letter cards: u, k, n, e, t, r, i. Prepare the three cards for just one word at a time. Keep e for sound practice. No water, hooks or fishing rods are needed.
• Keep the lesson slides ready if a video does not play. Read the English notes and model the action yourself.
