Crosscurricular Project

Hello everybody,

During the last two weeks everybody here at school was involved in our cross curricular project "Scientific Minds in Action". Every class was developing a theme related with the topic of our project.


Our class had the mission of recycling cardboard and my students learned more about the importance of recycling and giving new uses and functions to things that are not useful anymore.



So, that´s what we did!! all my students brought cardboard (in every kind of presentation)and then we started the process of creation. I have to admit that my class is very creative, that's why my students didn't doubt in showing all their art and expressing all their ideas.


In this picture you can see some of the things that we made recycling cardboard. My children were really happy showing and explaining others how they did the robot and the house. Everything was prepaired and painted by them.

I am going to show you more details about this wonderful project in the coming posts. See you!!

Let´s sing together!

Tune: "My bonnie"


One dolphin swims over the ocean.
One dolphin swims over the sea.
One dolphin swims over the ocean.
Let´s count all the dolphins with me.




Two fish swim over the ocean.
Two fish swim over the sea.
Two fish swim over the ocean.
Let's count all the fish with me.





Three starfish swim over the ocean.
Three starfish swim over the sea.
Three starfish swim over the ocean.
Let's count all the starfish with me.




You can continue singing the song by adding other ocean animal's name and following the number sequence. Good luck!!

Ocean animals

Hello!!

We know there are some animals that are bigger than others, some that we haven't listened about before, and some that are more popular among us.

During these last days my children and I have been learning about ocean animals and words like ocean, fish, crab, octopus, jellyfish, seahorse, starfish, shark, dolphin, and seal are more familiar for us now.

To continue learning about ocean animals, I want to share this book with you hoping it helps you to share a good moment with your kids at home. Enjoy it!!

Field Trip to "Parque de la Amistad"

During the year each grade goes on a Study Visit or Field Trip. This week Nursery and Pre-Kinder classes went together to the "Parque de la Amistad". It was a great opportunity to share with other friends and have a good time learning together.

During our visit, my students learned about how everything is surrounded by nature and why is it important to take care of it. They also found some recycling baskets in which they had the opportunity to select garbage and classify it according to the color of the basket.

Come and join us in our first adventure outside. Watch it!!

Storytelling in Spanish

Hello everybody!!

It's a pleasure for me to tell you that my children are working on a storytelling classroom project in Spanish named: "Cuéntame un cuento".

How does it work?
Every week we make a raffle to know who is going to be our new storyteller. In this case, we choose two names and those students have to select a story from our library and take it home where their parents read it to them. On the next day, they have to bring the story back to school and tell it with their own words to all their classmates.

Our first week storytellers were Valeria Neira and Pablo Meza. Good job Deer!

With this video I want to show you how they developed this great project. Stay alert because we have more storytellers coming!! Hope you like it!!

"Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear"

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
turn around.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
touch the ground.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
tie your shoes.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear I love you!

Animals, animals, animals...

This week we are talking and learning about zoo animals. My children had learned about pets before, so now they can make comparisons between them. At the same time, they can establish differences and classify them according to their habitats.

To continue working with this topic, I want to share with you this beautiful book I found and I hope you find it nice to read with your children. Enjoy!!

Veggie Patch Project: Bigger

Look, our radishes are bigger!! said my children when we went to visit our Veggie Patch last monday.

It seems that nature have done its job very well during our vacations and now we have our radishes almost ready to harvest. My children can't wait much longer to pull and pull like in the story to get their veggies, but they know we still have to wait a quite longer.

Everyday they ask me: "Miss Tatiana, How would our radishes be today? Are they bigger than yesterday? Can we harvest them today?" and then I say: "Be patient my Deer... just a little bit longer..."

So, for everyone that is also waiting with us to see the results... just a little bit of your patience please... See you!!

Baby Grizzly Bear

Hello everybody!!
After a deserved vacations, this week my children and I are back in action!! We couldn't start better than singing a new song and this is what we want to share with you this time. Hope you like it!

I'm bringing home
a baby grizzly bear.
Won't my mommy
jump up on a chair?
I took my home
a baby grizzly bear.
Oh, no!
what would he wear?


I'm bringing home
a baby kangaroo.
Won't my mommy
run and holler, too?
I'm bringing home
a baby kangaroo
Oh, no!
what will he do?


I'm bringing home
a baby parakeet.
Won't my mommy
race right down the street?
I'm bringing home
a baby parakeet.
Oh, no!
what will he eat?


I'm bringing home
a baby chimpanzee.
Won't my mommy
climb up high a tree?
I'm bringing home
a baby chimpanzee.
Oh, no!
will he like me?
