I’m iyH teaching at a school this year that has all sorts of levels across modern orthodoxy (I consider myself yeshivish). There are kids fresh from public school who don’t know alef bais together with kids who are more advanced then that. As of this point I’m not sure if I’ll have an assistant. Kids I’m teaching are in grades 2-4.
Two question: Any ideas for powerful nice Elul lessons? Some of these kids are coming from very weak backgrounds and so I really want them to connect to something.
The other thing I’m grappling with is the varied levels in one classroom- kids who don’t know how to read with those who do.
I have experience teach in modern orthodox schools but nothing like this.
The school isn’t registered with chinuch.org so I can’t get anything from there (you need an account to download).
Any ideas?

You can select "Other" for school to register on Chinuch.org. Even homeschooling parents can set up an account.
Try some Elul stories, the lessons are powerful no matter what level they are on: https://www.chabad.org/kids/ar.....s.htm
There may be a reading program you can use that supports all of the levels, fluency and speed for those who are already reading, and basics for those that are just starting. I don't know if Aleph Champ is available for individual teachers, but I'd ask - https://alephchamp.com/

Regarding the levels I’d suggest setting up stations where you divide the kids by levels/skills need working on. The stations would be independent work in groups. The activities should be fun and easy enough not to need a teacher, kids in the group may help each other. You rotate 10 minutes in each group and work on the necessary skills needed in reading or other. The prep is more, but the kids have more fun learning and you can individualize the lessons by level.
Hatzlacha!

Try to keep the advanced kids busy so they don't get into trouble from boredom, like an activity, fun page, more work when they are done with work, or let them help the weaker ones, once they are done. Use these kids as helpers like to bring stuff from office, hang up signs in classroom etc.

Wow I did this, but in high school. You need to separate the levels or be exceptionally skilled at scaffolding.
Sounds like you're in a Hebrew school class except full time?
For me, background wise, any kid who's in school with a public school child is lacking either desire or actual comprehension of what they learned in yeshiva ie the whole class is beginners when it comes to the hashkafa. (May be different for your demographic)
Scenicrouteinfluency.com has very good new kriah books.
Anyone can make an account at chinuch.org or waldereducation.org - get your pasha sheets from there.

You can register for free on chinuch.org privately. I recall actually putting my school's name in for the first time because it wasn't registered.
Chinuch.org is the absolute best option for teaching resources at any level.

Do I need to go through the school to register it?
