FEELINGS

We made a collage with all the first level kids. They learnt how to say and express if they are happy, angry or sad. There is a power point on the right side of this blog to support the activity and besides, one can use the song "if you're happy". The idea was given by the assistant and found it here:

I had to use newspapers and a few magazines because that's all we had at the school library, but it can be an interesting experience and if one can spend more time on it.

This is the collage.

Ellos se tenían que dibujar en el medio, eligiendo un estado de ánimo y luego buscar imágenes que representaran happy, angry, sad y colocarlas junto al respectivo nombre. Entre todos los trabajos hicimos un gran collage.

MY BODY

Using the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees and toes", the support of the classroom book, and some other songs such as "hocky, pocky" and other adaptations, it's a good experience to complete the lesson with a poster like this one where easily everybody participates.

Classroom rules

Starting the school year on the right foot includes establishing classroom rules that will last the whole year through.

Working on spring.

Activities for children from 3 to 7.

Teasing Mr. Crocodile

As I explained once, when I work with the rhyme "five little monkeys", I teach it playing with children, and I do some role play: 5 choosen children are the monkeys, one is the mamma who calls the doctor, another one is the doctor. If the rhyme is Mr. Crocodile, the one who plays the Crocodile eats the children as the song goes.

Here I uploaded some sheet to support the class work.


Summer time, time to come back!

The blog has been stopped for so long, but now we come back with energy and plenty of ideas!
