Jungle class - welcoming door

The lion above the door is a real hat. I stuffed it with papers for it to pomp out. I've written the names of the Arabic teacher and the assistant along with mine below the lion for family reference. The girl is a character in movie the feature "despicable me" which I really loved. She looked great with the animals and that what I was seeking to have :)

I saw this idea on line. I loved it and applied it. It was quite hard for the girls kept moving their faces and I had to keep up with them but it was all done in time thank God

This big board next to the door is used to display the student work of art. I did it in a shape of an old board that one can imagine seeing in a jungle :p

Jungle class - water fall

The water fall:

The water fall was made with almost eight colors. I distinctly made it in the fire extinguisher wall as it holds the same purpose; putting down the fire. It looks good and its meaning made it clearer to my students.

Jungle class - shapes

Tow little monkeys cutting down the shapes

In order to go along with the theme, the shapes were made in a paper forms that were cut out by tow little monkeys. The monkeys were made young on purpose because as young creatures, they are also learning.

Jungle class - class rules

Class room rules:

I have displayed with pictures eight simple rules for the students to know and get to be repeated with the beginning of each English class. They are as follows: setting quietly, lips closed, eyes looking, ears listening, folded arms, crossed legs, hands up to speak, and finally feet still. At first the student were trying to know it by the pictures but after repetition, nowadays I get to choose one of them to read all the rules at once which became very easy to most of them. I have laid them out in the sunset lights. The shadow of the frogs in the corner with its children has a meaning in it; it’s like a mother teaching her kids how to act out respectively using our rules.

Jungle class - tooth fairy

The girl who lost her tooth:

This idea was creative and the girls loved it. Whenever a girl lost her tooth, she would come to me to show me her baby teeth. From that we thought of making this girl with curled hair. It was made in a form that kind of resembles the first student who lost her own tooth. The girl were made wearing the school’s uniform to give the sense of belonging and above her cute curly hair, white teeth with white wings were cut out and pasted above her. After it was done, the students who lost theirs had their pictures hanged on the white little angelic wings. Now I can say that after making that, girls would come to me feeling happy that they lost it instead of worrying how it would fall out and how painful it would be.

Jungle class - behavior chart

The behavior chart:

The behavior chart is done in the form of apples. Each apple has the full name of the students and mini pictures posted beside the name. This chart excites the students to act more politely and participate even more. And what excites them further is that at the end of each week, the stars or the stickers should be counted and the best three girls were to receive a gift at the beginning of the week that follows.

Plus, during the class a small gift is rapped or hanged on the board for those who would do well during the class. And for a change, a paper crown as shown above is to be hand out almost every other day to give them more mortification.

Jungle class - calendar

The calendar:

The calendar includes the day, the month, the date, and the weather. It was made in the shape of a bird to cope with the theme. The smoke coming out from his speed carries the date from day one till thirty one. The semi-bubbles on top of the bird’s head represents the day in both languages. The feathers coming out the second bird, carries the months which are also listed in both languages. And finally, the weather is posted on the wood that the bird is carrying with his horn. For the month and date to be recognized from others, a green butterfly is to be posted near any of which for the indication.

Jungle class - attendance board

Big red bear house:

The house stands for the attendance board. Each girl has her picture posted on a baby’s bear face. The pictures are placed in each girl’s drawer for her to hang it once she comes in and takes it off back to her drawer when leaving. This gives the girl a sense of responsibility and direction.
