The first week of school often causes anxiety. I created this emoji worksheet for elementary ESL students in Israel. Students can select one of the emojis or make their own, followed by writing one sentence in English. 

This is how I feel... (Emoji Worksheet ESL) Hebrew/English

This is to mother you

To comfort you and get you through

Through when your nights are lonely

Through when your dreams are only blue

This is to mother you

This is to be with you

To hold you and to kiss you too

For when you need me I will do

What your own mother didn't do

Which is to mother you

All the pain that you have known

All the violence in your soul

All the 'wrong' things you have done

I will take from you when I come

All mistakes made in distress

All your unhappiness

I will take away with my kiss, yes

I will give you tenderness

For child I am so glad I've found you

Although my arms have always been around you

Sweet bird although you did not see me

I saw you

And I'm here to mother you

To comfort you and get you through

Through when your nights are lonely

Through when your dreams are only blue

This is to mother you﻿

I use this worksheet for my first graders in my ESL Class. It's  to practice on the target language This is/ These are. Hope that helps. The pictures of the clothing items are there to give them better understanding why we use This is / These are. 

An exercise about how to use This is / These are and clothing items.

this is a great exercise to learn some popular English idioms and expressions. First off, you gotta match the expressions with their meanings, then you've got a practice part where you need to insert the correct expression in each of the sentences.
