Lesson Plans and Worksheets
I have taught for 18 years and have used Lesson Planet many times when I have had a dry spell with creativity. I have used lesson plans in Spelling, Reading, and beginning of the year ideas. This is the first time I have every paid for a professional service, and I plan to renew my subscription. Thank you for this resource.

Help your beginning and intermediate English Learners develop academic vocabulary with this activity about ordinal numbers. Read and discuss the Eric Carle book Ten Little Rubber Ducks. Your ELs use ordinal number cards to practice stating where different duck cutouts are placed in a line. Then they place themselves in a line according to your verbal directions using ordinal numbers.
Make origami ducks with your class to reinforce geometry concepts and vocabulary; develop fine motor and visual translation skills; and enrich study of Japanese culture, the pond habitat, or migration. Create a whole group "worksheet" about shapes and symmetry with a word bank. Links to instructions for the duck folds are difficult to follow. Look online for other models and practice, practice, practice; you'll need to master the folds to support children during independent practice.
Students observe ducks at a local wetland. They answer various questions about the ducks behavior and write the answers on a downloadable worksheet.
Students "save" a rare duck (or goose, or swan) from extinction by "building" a sanctuary to protect and breed it in captivity. They research what the bird needs and draw the species and its enclosure.
In this idioms worksheet, learners answer questions about the real meaning of the expression Lame Duck. Students answer questions and come up with their own sentences to define the expression.
