Bell Ringers & Warm-Ups | Newcomer ESL/MLL | Haitian Creole L1 | ELP 1.0-1.9

These bell ringers give Haitian Creole-speaking newcomers a 5-minute start to every class. They use the same themes as the ELP 1.0-1.9 Picture Dictionary and the same kind of frames as the Sentence Building & Speaking Pack. What students practice: • Picture Words: match 4 pictures to a word bank (English and Haitian Creole) and write the English word • Trace & Write: trace and copy a model sentence • Count It: count, write the number and number word, and say "I see ___." • Build the Sentence: put word tiles in order with a capital letter and end mark • Talk & Check: ask a partner one question, write the answer, and check an "I can" goal Teacher note: every day of the week has the same task type, so students learn the routine and start on their own. Cut each page in half or project one card. L1 support: directions in English with a short Haitian Creole line, word banks with Haitian Creole, and Teacher Guide notes for Haitian Creole speakers. Designed for ESL teachers to implement with L1 Haitian Creole-speaking students whose English level is below a WIDA ACCESS or Screener score of 2.0. Differentiation: the Teacher Guide shows what to address at each ELP level (1.0-1.3, 1.4-1.6, 1.7-1.9; not official WIDA categories) in Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, with tips for struggling and advanced learners. Use alongside any Newcomer lesson or on its own: 5 minutes at the start of class, 40 days (8 weeks).
