What do we use our senses for?

Hello everybody!

Now that we already know the chant, we are learning the song: "My five senses". Here you have the lyrics, so you can sing with us. You can also change the name of the boy or girls for yours, too.



Your eyes are for seeing
Dear Martha, dear Martha.
Your eyes are for seeing
Dear Martha, your eyes.




Your ears are for hearing
Dear Daniel, dear Daniel.
Your ears are for hearing
Dear Daniel, your ears.





Your nose is for smelling
Dear Jasmin, dear Jasmin.
Your nose is for smelling
Dear Jasmin, your nose.

"I have 5 senses"

Hello!

My children started learning about senses and inquiring about their functions. This is a chant about senses that we are learning this week. Let's practice it together!


I have five senses
yes, I do.

I have five senses
and so do you!




I see with my eyes.





I hear with my ears.







I smell with my nose.









I taste with my tongue.











I touch with my hands.






I have five senses
yes, I do.

I have five senses
and so do you!

New friends!

Hello everybody!
I want to share with you something really special for me...
Last Sunday I met two teachers from United Sates. Their names are Silvia and Terry, they came from San Jose Episcopal Day School, Jacksonville Florida.

As you can see in the picture, they are holding a teddy bear. His name is Jose and he travels with them around the world. This year they had the opportunity to come to Peru to visit Cuzco and Puno. Jose helps these teachers to explain their kids how people live in other countries through pictures and videos they post in their blog. You can find more details about their adventure in our country in the next link: http://sjeds.com/blog/latinamerica/

Silvia, Terry, and Jose didn´t come alone. They came with Jose´s brother, another teddy bear that they gave to me. I promised them to take care of this new friend and to introduce him to my students on Tuesday. And that's what I did!! Today my students met Jose´s brother and named him Jorge.

So, last Sunday morning we had breakfast together and we could enjoy some delicious peruvian food like tacu-tacu, chicharrón, relleno, and tamal. Even Jose and Jorge were excited to try these new peruvian flavors. When we finished the breakfast, we went to have a walk around Barranco.

But time didn't let us stay more longer together and it was time to say good bye... I left them in the hotel and thanked for such a great morning, for letting me knowing them, and for giving me the chance of working some projects together in the future. Thank you Silvia and Terry and remember that you are always welcome here! Finally we asked the taxi driver who was waiting for them to take us a picture, and here it is! Five new friends!

An Inquiry into Veggie Patch: Transplanting

Hello!

As you know, my children have been working on an Inquiry into Veggie Patch. They had learned different and interesting things related with plants while they were observing and exploring nature.

One of the activities we did was to put some seeds inside a glass with cotton. My children brought different kind of seeds and chose the ones they liked. They watered them and put them outside in the garden because my children know plants need sunlight, air and water to live.

In that way our seeds became plants and after four weeks our plants were too big to stay in the glass, so we decided to transplant them to flower pots with soil. My children did it with lots of enthusiasm while reciting the poem "Maytime Magic" and singing the song "Plant some seeds" that they learned before.

That's what I want to show you in this slide. Hope you enjoy it!

Becoming brothers / sisters

Hello!!

My children are growing really fast! Some of them had recently become brothers and sisters for the first time, some others are still waiting, and others are wishing that.

Thinking about them and the importance of becoming a brother or sister is how I found this book that fits perfectly with how they feel sometimes.

I hope that after reading this book they understand that even if it's not fair sometimes, there will always be someone on the other side. Enjoy!!
