For this activity, I created a fill in the blank activity for potential students to use on the first day of school to get students acclimated with common school terminology. This would be especially helpful for ESL students so that they can learn all about school and all the places you would go for help.

Vocabulary Terms

 

1. school: a place where students go to learn

2. teacher: an adult who helps students learn

3. students: children in a class who learns new things

4. nurse: an adult who helps someone who is sick or hurt

5. secretary: an adult who works in the office to help students, teachers, and principals

6. librarian: an adult who helps children find books in the library

 

 

Welcome to School

_____________ comes to school every day. They meet with the ____________ to learn new and interesting things. If you need any help or need to call home you would probably go to the office and the ___________ would help you. If you get sick and need some resting time you would usually go to the ___________. Reading books can be so much fun. When I want to find a good book you would go to the library and would find the __________ if you need any help to find a good read. School is a very big place with a lot of  people so if you have any questions about where to find help from anyone you can always ask the teacher!

 

The paragraph above used the present tense. An example of the present tense for the word walk would be the walk or walks if writing a sentence about walking to school.

 

Some example of words found in the present tense from the paragraph are:

1. come
2. meet
3. learn
4. go

Can you find two other verbs in the present tense from the paragraph above?

1. ____________________

2. ____________________

Here are some fun games to help you learn more about the present tense! Once you get to the website click on a game of your choice and most importantly HAVE FUN!
