Relax! The good thing about teaching children that young is that they want to learn, they want to like you and they want to enjoy everything! If you �ve already taught children, the fact that she �s that much younger won �t make all that much difference - I �m sure you �ll be fantastic!
Songs and games are good - definitely check out those worksheets Yulia recommended. I suggest starting with things like the alphabet and numbers. You can teach her the alphabet song. Get her to practise writing letters before doing any other work - she may not have done much writing in her first language. Then you can move on to colours and vocabulary she will need - teach her simple questions and answers orally - �What �s your name �, �How old are you � �Can I have a pencil, please � so that she can start basic communication in English. Give her instructions in English - stand up, sit down etc - try directing her to colour something a particular colour and do it withb her so she picks it up - for example, �Colour the pencil red. �
As she gains a little more vocabulary try wordsearches and jumbled words that she has to write.
Again, I �m sure you �llbe fine - good luck!

search for gabitza - that �s the person you want. Also, try typing into the search elementary, age 4 and you get pages of contributions you can check out. Victor did a great numbers one, there �s a nice rainbow.
please don �t panic!
