o Brain Breaks- Take a moment to give the students a brain break. Standing up and moving around brings 15% more oxygen to the brain. This reduces stress, triggers endorphin’s, and strengthens key areas of brain. Aerobic activity strengthens memory. Have the students stand up, stretch, and count with movement.

Cool blog!
Do lots of cooperative leirnang activities pair students with some knowledge of English with those who know little. Pair students with English speakers from another class for Book Buddies . Writing Buddies , etc.Use lots and lots and lots of visuals in your teaching.At first, most students will only want to listen, not speak. They feel awkward using a different language. Give them opportunities to talk in class and practice language leirnang.Talk with colleagues and get more advice and help! These kids are going to need all the help they can get. By the way, what level is this? If it is Elementary, there are many more approaches to try that can be helpful
