them nametags and asks them:” Wie heisst du denn?” and writes their name on
the name tag. As the children then enter the room, they are encouraged to
sit down and draw or color “eine Raupe”.

The teacher has a large calendar Chart with the two weeks and the
days of the week in German. The students’ names are listed and the teacher
asks the students ‘”Wie heisst du?” and “Wie geht’s”, he/she encourages the
students to answer, ”gut/nicht gut,” and marks a smiley next to their name.
This will be done every day when starting.

by pointing at the pictures and speaking German only. He makes the children
repeat the words. Die Sonne [ten rays “die Strahlen], der Mond, das Ei, die
Raupe, der Baum, das Blatt, der Tag, die Nacht.

The teachers hands out enlarged pictures made of construction paper,
collage style, of the words to students sitting in a circle. They hold up
the picture and the group says’ “Wer bist du?” The children respond with
“Ich bin …”/ The teacher could also already hang pictures on wall and point
at them for recognition (skip 5).

The teacher places the large versions of images around the room for
children to see and to practice words.

with crayon, “Nacht”, and then a day, “Tag”’ picture as a collage with
prepared pieces or with crayons, following the teacher’s instruction in
German: “Nimm das Blatt und klebe es, …!” or “ male … !” (draw)

a prepared section.

part of the story.

hand; both hands open like an egg]

Sagt die kleine Raupe.
Kommt aus einem kleinen Ei;
Kleines Ei bricht in zwei.
Guten Tag …. |
Guten Tag ….
Sitzt auf einem grünen Blatt
