Happy Hearts US is a three-level course for children aged 3-6 It features engaging characters like Billy, Molly, and Kenny the Cat that will appeal to all children of pre-school age Happy Hearts US develops the listening, speaking, and pre-reading/pre-writing skills of young children through art, music, and movement It provides a carefully graded learning program that ensures pre-schoolers make simple yet steady progress in the development of their English language skills Course Components The Student Book includes tear-out worksheets Teachers can choose to remove the worksheets before class and hand them out to the children Each child should have a folder in which to keep their worksheets This will encourage them to take responsibility for keeping their work neat and tidy, as well as enable them to take their work home to show their parents The worksheets are designed to encourage children to think and speak in English They promote active participation and interaction, and develop children’s pre-reading and pre-writing skills Written on the back of each worksheet are quick reminders of the main activities to be done in each lesson Teachers can refer to these reminders if they find it difficult to consult the Teacher’s Edition once a lesson has started In addition to the six main units, there are two optional units, Happy New Year! and Father’s Day!, which can be covered as a lead up to these celebrations In each unit, the children work on the story with the help of stickers This not only helps the children feel like they “own” the story, but it gives them the opportunity to develop their fine motor skills There are also reward stickers to boost children’s self-confidence and give them a sense of achievement In Lesson of each unit, children activate the language they have learned through the use of pressouts, which they remove and use to act out the song from Lesson Acting out the song is a way to engage children both mentally and physically and caters to their personal, social, and emotional needs If teachers wish, they can encourage the children to take their press-outs home to their parents, as well as use them while listening to their Songs CD In every unit, Billy, Molly, and Kenny the Cat welcome a new animal friend to the animal park through the use of the Happy Hearts Animal Park Poster Teachers should ensure that this poster is placed in a position in the classroom that is easily accessible to the children, and should encourage the children to refer to the poster often, e.g by asking the children to bring them one of the animal friends/by asking them who Kenny’s friends are etc The Activity Book reviews the language of each unit The activities can be covered either upon completion of the corresponding unit, or gradually, after Lesson HOW TO USE THE ACTIVITY BOOK Each worksheet can cover one teaching lesson: ñ Have the children sit in a circle ñ Sing the Hello! song ñ Review the corresponding vocabulary by showing and eliciting the items on the picture flashcards ñ Have the children go back to their seats ñ Hand out the worksheet Explain what the children have to ñ Check the children’s work ñ If applicable, sing the corresponding song ñ End the lesson by singing the Bye-bye! song The Kenny Puppet not only helps children become more expressive, it is very effective in bringing shy children out of their shells, since children who hesitate to speak in front of others will invariably interact enthusiastically with a puppet Teachers can make use of the Kenny Puppet at various points in the lesson, (e.g at the beginning of a lesson/during Circle Time/when explaining the rules of a game/when introducing new language) When children are working on their worksheets, the Kenny Puppet can go around the classroom asking children what colors they are using/providing them with assistance, etc The Kenny Puppet should always be present and part of the classroom N.B The Kenny Puppet has been manufactured to comply with international health and safety standards Nevertheless, any handling of the puppet by children must be under adult supervision The Teacher’s Edition contains step-by-step lesson plans, the focused language (children’s language), and the receptive language (classroom language) Each lesson plan contains detailed suggestions for presenting the new language, group and individual review, games, and tapescripts of the songs and stories Additional activities and games are included at the end of each lesson in Kenny’s Corner, where the teacher will find ideas on how to further activate the language of the lesson For teachers whose lessons are of longer duration, two optional lessons (Lessons & 10) are included in each unit Lessons and include photocopiable worksheets which can be found in the “Extra Photocopiable Resources” section Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro_Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro 29/12/2011 8:20 ΜΜ Page The Picture Flashcards include the vocabulary of each unit and are numbered for easy identification Picture flashcards are ideal for visual learners, but they can also be used in a variety of ways to appeal to kinesthetic learners (see Activity Bank p 10) The Picture Flashcards can be used to present, practice, and recycle vocabulary They can also be used to occupy earlyfinishers who have become familiar with the activities used in class In such instances, they can be given to the early-finishers to use in small groups The Story Cards have enlarged versions of the pictures from the stories in the Student Book They can be used by teachers to present and practice the stories The story text (as well as guidelines for telling the story) are written on the back of each card enabling teachers to narrate the story without having to memorize it Storytelling is a powerful teaching tool and can provide valuable cultural input Stories encourage children to be creative and imaginative and advance skills such as prediction and guessing Teachers not have to be gifted actors to maintain children’s interest, as young children love being told stories If possible, teachers should gather children in a circle for storytelling The stories are all recorded on the Class CD, but teachers may prefer to narrate the stories themselves so that pauses can be made to point to pictures/put emphasis on actions depicted/ask questions, etc The Class CD contains the songs and story from each unit Instrumental (karaoke) versions of the songs are included for teachers who wish to let the children themselves perform the songs The Songs CD contains the songs from all the units It is for the children to take home so they can listen to their favorite songs The DVD brings the characters of the course to life Children will have fun watching their favorite characters in action! The Routine Poster can be used at the beginning of each lesson to introduce/review the topics of numbers, colors, days of the week, and weather It also includes a birthday section to be used whenever a child is celebrating his/her birthday It is important to establish a routine at the beginning of each lesson, as this creates a sense of security and familiarizes children with everyday language With a routine, all members of a class, irrespective of their abilities, are soon able to contribute to the discussion, thus boosting self-esteem and social development You can use the Routine Poster in the following way: ñ at the beginning of each lesson by asking: What’s the weather like today? Can you tell me? Is it sunny, raining, snowing, or windy? Then, by saying Yes Today it’s (sunny) Teachers can point to the picture and mime the corresponding action Or they can ask a child to come and point to the picture and mime the corresponding action Alternatively, a frame or a circle can be placed over the corresponding picture ñ by asking: What day is it today? Can you tell me? Then by saying, It’s (Monday) today and pointing to the day Alternatively, a frame can be placed over the corresponding day ñ to celebrate children’s birthdays Teachers should keep a note of every child’s birthday in their class register, and whenever a child is celebrating his/her birthday, write their name on a piece of paper and place it in the Happy Birthday square The class can then sing Happy Birthday There are six Cross-Curricular posters that illustrate the extra cross-curricular lessons, one per unit Crosscurricular teaching is ideal for this level, as it incorporates already familiar topics (shapes, food, etc.) that help children explore and broaden their knowledge of the world around them The Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM provides teachers with a variety of extra materials These materials can be used to make extra worksheets, picture dictionaries, templates for extra arts and crafts activities, etc Basic Principles of Happy Hearts US Pre-school children are naturally inquisitive, enthusiastic, and receptive to new input They are also undergoing rapid physical, mental, emotional, and social development The aim of Happy Hearts US is therefore not simply to teach children English but to so in a way that helps them grow To achieve this, Happy Hearts US exposes children to new language through activities and games, thus creating an environment in which children develop both their gross and fine motor skills Cognitive Development Happy Hearts US aims to: ñ develop children’s pencil control and eye-hand coordination ñ introduce children to spoken English, and help them enjoy listening to and using spoken English ñ help children explore and experiment with sounds, and develop their pronunciation and intonation ñ use children’s innate love for stories, music, songs, rhymes, and role play ñ help children observe, discover, and identify features in the place they live and in the natural world around them ñ use activities that encourage children to respond in a variety of ways to what they see, hear, smell, touch, and feel Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro_Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro 19/05/2012 1:07 ΜΜ Page Main attitudes to learning Happy Hearts US aims to: ñ motivate children and get them interested in learning ñ build children’s self-esteem and confidence in new environments ñ provide activities and games that help children develop their social skills ñ provide a safe and secure environment where children are confident enough to try new activities, initiate ideas, and express themselves ñ provide a setting where children can use English to communicate with their peers The SPICE of life We can refer to development in terms of S.P.I.C.E – Social, Physical, Intellectual, Creative, and Emotional Happy Hearts US encourages development in each of these five areas by: ñ developing children’s ability to work in groups, play/share with others, follow and accept rules, etc (Social development) ñ developing children’s fine and gross motor skills through drawing, dancing, coloring, miming, etc (Physical development) ñ developing children’s knowledge and understanding of the world by closely examining similarities/differences, exploring child-centered themes, examining life patterns and changes, e.g seasons, life cycles, etc (Intellectual development) ñ developing children’s self-expression and imagination through music, dance, songs, arts and crafts, role play, stories, etc (Creative development) ñ developing children’s self-awareness, selfconfidence, and mechanisms for coping with their feelings through group-based activities (Emotional development) Evaluation The focus of Happy Hearts US is to instill a sense of achievement in children, as this will motivate them to learn English For this reason, it is important that teachers keep a record of each child’s progress Teachers should use the photocopiable materials for evaluation to record each child’s involvement in games, activities, etc (For further information see Evaluation, p 195) Unit Structure Young children benefit from an established routine, as it gives them a sense of security when they know what to expect Thus, each unit in Happy Hearts US follows the same layout In the same way, it is important that every lesson follows the same structure, as the more children are familiar with the class routine, the easier it will be for them to manage Remember: the English teacher is a new person in the young children’s lives and comes with a new set of rules and expectations This can be upsetting for young children, thus the teacher must first gain the children’s trust The Hello and Goodbye Routine The way in which a lesson is both begun and ended is very important At the beginning of each lesson, teachers should gather the children in a circle and have them sing the Hello! song In this way, the children will begin the lesson feeling both confident and focused At the end of a lesson, teachers should play the Bye-bye! song to finish the teaching procedure In this way, the end of a lesson is not abrupt and the children get the chance to say goodbye to their friends What’s in my basket? Teachers should use the Interactive Poster and the Picture Flashcards to present new language Games New language should always be practiced and consolidated through games Children learn the target language more efficiently and pleasantly when it is being used as a means to have fun Worksheets The worksheets have been designed to reflect the cognitive development of children aged 5-6 The aim of the worksheets is to consolidate the language that has been learned and develop the children’s eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills Worksheets should be given to the children when they are seated at their tables (Table Time) By coloring/circling differences/matching etc., children “own” the new language and feel a sense of achievement Children also come to realize that they are able to follow instructions in English, carry out activities, listen to a song, and point to various items on their worksheets, etc Kenny’s Corner These are optional activities which can be done at the end of a lesson, and which are designed to make the new language more personal It is suggested that teachers make a Kenny’s Corner somewhere in the classroom where the children can go to put up the things they create By decorating the classroom with their own work, children get a feeling of satisfaction and achievement Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro_Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro 29/12/2011 8:20 ΜΜ Page Lessons Structure Although routine is highly important for children, variation is also necessary This is because young children have short attention spans and lose interest easily Lessons must be carefully structured to engage children’s interest and trigger their curiosity For this reason, lessons in every unit are designed to vary in both context and procedure In Lesson of every unit, Kenny welcomes an animal friend to the animal park They sing a song that presents some of the new language Teachers can use the Happy Hearts Animal Park Poster and the Picture Flashcards to present the new character and the core vocabulary Lesson consolidates Lesson with the use of press-outs There are optional activities and games to consolidate the language One of the activities uses photocopiable material Lesson presents new language through Picture Flashcards In Kenny’s Corner, teachers will find optional games and activities to consolidate and extend the new language Lesson consolidates Lesson and develops children’s fine and gross motor skills Lesson presents some new language and recycles the language already presented During this lesson, the children can some of the activities from the Activity Book Lesson 6, Toy Box, promotes a hands-on approach to language learning Children consolidate the new language while developing their creative skills During this lesson, children make something to be used in optional Lesson 9, Showtime In Lesson 7, teachers present the story using the Story Cards The story is consolidated by carrying out the activities in the Student Book Lesson consolidates the story The children can watch the story on the DVD and interact by repeating/joining in with key words and phrases, putting the Story Cards in the right order, etc At the end of every unit, there are two optional lessons meant for classes of longer duration These are: Showtime (Optional Lesson 9): Children use the arts and crafts from Lesson to activate the language of the unit through dramatic play Dramatic play gives children the opportunity to use their imagination and bring the language they have learned to life It is the main type of play for children three to seven years old Children at this age use objects, actions, and storylines to symbolize the things that concern them, and in the process they build thinking skills and develop social, emotional, and language skills Across the Curriculum (Optional Lesson 10): In this lesson, children: explore the world around them, observe, experiment with textures, talk about the weather, investigate objects and materials using each of their five senses, and find out about and identify features in the place they live and the natural world, etc Teaching Very Young Learners (3-6 year olds) Teaching very young learners can be an enjoyable experience Young children are naturally inquisitive, enthusiastic, and receptive to new input They not have many inhibitions and can be highly imaginative At this level, teachers can take their time and repeat activities as many times as they feel necessary for children to understand and have fun with them! A teacher at this level should take the following into consideration: Encouragement: Young children need constant reassurance Teachers should walk around the classroom whenever the children are carrying out an activity and praise them Mistakes should not be over-emphasized The Kenny Puppet can be used to say the correct word or phrase The V’s (variety of activity, variety of pace, variety of organization & variety of voice): Young children have short attention spans and need a variety of activities if they are to stay focused Activities should be organized and presented in different ways to keep the children alert and interested If children are allowed to get bored, they become very difficult to manage Repeat nursery rhymes, stories, songs, etc.: Young children love the familiar It is therefore a good idea to repeat a favorite song, rhyme, story, or activity for as long as the children are actively engaged The primary goal of teaching at this level is to instill a love for the English language in children Physical activity: Young children are very active They like to move around, see, hear, smell, and touch things In short, young children need to explore their surroundings Because young children’s bodies are developing rapidly, teachers need to provide opportunities for their students to develop their gross motor skills Teachers should therefore incorporate activities that involve movement, miming, facial expressions, and as many other senses as possible into their lessons Short dramatic plays are an excellent idea Use lots of pictures and objects: Teachers should have pictures and realia at hand and use them as much as possible Children need to see, hear, smell, and touch things as they learn by “doing.” Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro_Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro 29/12/2011 8:20 ΜΜ Page Pronunciation: Young children are better at pronunciation than older children This is because they are eager listeners and are not afraid to make mistakes It is therefore important that teachers speak clearly but at a normal pace The “silent” period: It is quite common for young children not to produce anything during the initial stages This period of adjustment should not alarm teachers Teachers need to bear in mind that such children will be absorbing the new language and will reproduce it naturally in their own time Be fair: Teachers should have a standard set of rules which should be followed at all times, in all circumstances, and without exception Young children have a very strong sense of fairness and need to feel their teacher likes them all equally The Classroom Environment When young children enter a classroom they need to feel secure When children feel safe, they are more likely to experiment with a new language, be creative, and interact with their peers Happy Hearts US also takes into consideration the highly important role that space and organization play in the language classroom With regard to space, Happy Hearts US organizes activities so that they can take place in different parts of the classroom, depending on their aims For example, the children sit in a circle on the floor when they sing songs/listen to stories/learn new words, etc (Circle Time) However, they move to their tables when they work on their worksheets/make collages/do arts and crafts activities, etc (Table Time) With regard to organization, the duration of all activities in Happy Hearts US is set with a young child’s short attention span and desire to frequently move around, firmly in mind Classroom management Young children need to know what is expected of them, rather than be reprimanded and not know why Happy Hearts US provides teachers with the means to manage a classroom efficiently, using very little L1 However, teachers should keep in mind the following: ñ Young children are easily distracted Do not allow children to clutter their tables with unnecessary pens, pencils, books, etc Remember: a colorful pencil case can easily attract a child’s attention ñ Children should be moved from the circle (Circle Time) to their tables (Table Time) group by group, not all at once This way it is faster and quieter ñ Class rules e.g no shouting, no crawling under tables, etc should be established from day one, and children should be given regular reminders of these rules Teachers must ensure that they have their class’s full attention when they are presenting them with the rules ñ Shy, introverted children can be put in charge of looking after the Kenny puppet They will love the responsibility and it will encourage them to interact with others ñ If a class becomes too lively, surprise activities can be introduced into the lesson For example, children can be asked to jump up and down three times then run to the board, or they can be asked to touch their noses, then ears, then mouths, etc Vary the count and let the children follow ñ Whenever the class’s attention is needed, e.g when changing an activity, teachers should refrain from raising their voices Instead, they should make a sound with a musical instrument (such as a recorder, drum, rattle (any box with some rice in it will do) etc.) The children will soon associate the sound with the requirement to stop talking Fun Ideas for Maintaining Discipline A Sweet Reward Teachers can use young children’s love of candy in a fun way For example, a jar and a packet of candy can be kept in the classroom and every time the class does something that merits a “reward” e.g they have sung a song beautifully/followed instructions well, teachers can place a piece of candy in the jar At the end of each week/when the jar is full, the candy can then be distributed to the children Soccer Rules Just as in soccer, teachers can present misbehaving children with cards Each time a child behaves badly, they can be presented with a yellow card Once a child has accumulated two yellow cards, the teacher can take the cards back and give the child a red card Teachers can keep a record of how many red cards each child gets and inform parents once a certain number has been reached Alternatively, teachers may wish to inform parents at the end of a lesson by writing something in the child’s notebook You’re a Star! Teachers can create a table with the names of each child on a large piece of poster board and, each time a child does something worth rewarding, e.g behaves well/is kind to their friends, they can place a star next to that child’s name (teachers may also choose to remove stars for misbehavior) At the end of each lesson/week, the children with stars next to their names can be given a “reward.” Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro_Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro 29/12/2011 8:20 ΜΜ Page What a treat! Children love colorful stickers/readers/worksheets they can draw on, etc Thus, these things can be used to maintain discipline in the classroom Items of this kind can be placed in a box, and the children can be told that if they want any of the items from the box, they must “buy” them A “price” can be put on each item, – e.g the “price” might be based in terms of stars from the activity above (e.g if a child wants to “buy” a sticker from the box, he/she needs two stars next to their name at the end of the week) Once a week/fortnight, the class can have a “shopping day” when children are allowed to “buy” the items they want Songs, rhymes, and chants in the language classroom The importance of songs, rhymes, and chants should not be underestimated It is well known that music is a powerful tool for language learning and retention A song’s melody, rhythm, and repetition makes words highly memorable There are many ways to teach a song For example, teachers can play the song and simply ask the children to dance to the melody If the song has a word which is frequently repeated, the children will soon start joining in on that word It is highly recommended that teachers not push children into singing before they are ready Shy children will not, at first, feel comfortable enough to participate and teachers should not insist Instead, teachers should simply play the song a number of times and encourage the children to join in The songs in Happy Hearts US are simple and based on traditional tunes After several repetitions of the song, and with plenty of praise and encouragement, teachers will soon find the entire class joining in There are many ways to “animate” songs/chants in the language classroom Below are some suggestions: a) TPR Activities: Ask the children to stand up and form a circle Play the song and demonstrate the actions that accompany the words Play the song again, this time asking the children to join in the actions Certain children will the actions without singing, as some children find it difficult to coordinate both singing and action The younger they are, the more difficulty they will have However, the fact that they are “acting out” the song shows that they understand it b) Using prompts: Hand out realia or picture flashcards to the children and ask them to show their object/ picture to the rest of the class each time they hear it mentioned in the song The children listen and the activity c) Short plays: All songs have a plot and teachers are strongly advised to put on short plays, as this will create a pleasant environment for the children Teachers can simply assign roles and get children to sing their lines, or they can prepare costumes and props to make the performance more “realistic”! Remember that the above are just some of the ways in which songs can be used in the language classroom Teachers should be as inventive as they can in coming up with ideas to animate songs since young children love performing! How to avoid using the children’s mother tongue A teacher can employ various means to get his/her message across without resorting to L1 For example: a) Gestures/miming: Children consistently use body language to express themselves Teachers can take advantage of this fact by accompanying their instructions with gestures, actions, and mime to convey the meaning of their words b) Pictures/realia: Visual aids such as realia and pictures are a powerful way of getting one’s meaning across Never forget that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” c) Drawing: Sometimes a quick sketch on the blackboard is all it takes to get a message across The objective is to instill confidence in the children, thus gradually encouraging them to use their English skills more and more Using the Kenny puppet The Kenny puppet has been designed to help children learn in a fun way Kenny is the children’s friend and can help them out every time they have a problem or worry Below are some ideas on how to incorporate the Kenny puppet in lessons: To present/practice the new language ñ The Kenny puppet can be used to present new vocabulary Teachers can ask Kenny what he has in his basket (Interactive Poster) and Kenny can take the flashcards out of the interactive poster and show them to the class Kenny can then repeat the words after the teacher, or he can ask the children to repeat them after him ñ Teachers can go around the classroom and have Kenny show the flashcards to the children Kenny can ask individual children to name the flashcards Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro_Happy Hearts_2_Ts US Intro 29/12/2011 8:20 ΜΜ Page 10 ñ Kenny can take the role of the teacher and can: think of a word and ask children to guess the word; say a word loudly or softly/fast or slowly and encourage the children to repeat it after him; show a flashcard and say a word and ask the children to tell him if it is the correct word or not; give instructions and ask the children to follow them, etc To participate in the Circle Time activities ñ Teachers can hide Kenny somewhere in the classroom, ask the children: Where’s Kenny? and have them find him ñ Kenny can be passed around the circle while some music is being played When the music is paused, the child holding Kenny can be asked to something, e.g name a flashcard, sing a song, give Kenny a kiss, etc ñ Teachers can point to Kenny and say: Look! Kenny’s sleeping Let’s wake him up Come on, Kenny! It’s time for a (song)! The children can then “wake up” Kenny by singing a song, etc Alternatively, the class can be quieted by saying Shhh!
