When teaching nursery school, there are different methods that can be used:

  • Story Telling
  • Songs, flashcards and games
  • Phonics
Choose one of this methods. Imagine and describe a classroom setting. Plan a lesson using the siop template, prepare the materials and perform the lesson in front of our class.
