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!!
