Description: Your ESL students will have fun learning and reviewing vocabulary for talking about planting and caring for trees with this engaging word search. This activity is perfect for Arbor Day, and could also be used with a sheltered botany lesson for ESL students or a thematic unit on gardening or nature. Your English learners will practice reading and spelling the following words: apple, bark, branch, dig, forest, leaves, pick, plant, roots, seeds, soil, tree, trunk, water, and wood. Colorful illustrations contextualize the words. Audio supports emergent readers and models pronunciation. I created this word search for my own students, who are learning English as a foreign language in elementary school. They need to learn vocabulary and spelling, but they also love to play. Word games like this one allow them to do both! Supports the following standards: - Common Core Language Arts: CCRA.L.2: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing. - WIDA: ELD-SI .K-3: Inform: Define and classify objects or concepts.
