Field Trip to the zoo

Hello everybody!!

Last week Pre-Kinder children went on a field trip to the zoo. "Parque Zoológico de Huachipa" is the place we have chosen to go and where we found different kind of animals including the ones that belong to the sea.

There was an aquarium that catched our students attention and interest but there was an special interest in lions and tigers, specially from boys.

On the other hand, our girls were captured by the charm and dance of penguins that were trying to catch a dragonfly and by the tallness of the giraffe, too.

We all had a very special day sharing with the other Pre-Kinder classes, having fun, and the most important of all: learning. It was a very nice day!

Here you have a slideshow with some pictures from that day. Enjoy it!!

"The lion and the mouse"

Hello everybody!!

This week my children listened to the story: "The lion and the mouse". Well, they didn't just listened but watched it! How? I took them to one of our smartboard's classroom and they enjoyed our story time in a different way.

Before watching the video my students answered some questions related to the story and when we got back to our classroom they made a mini-book with the images of the story. Of course, they had to sequence the pictures first and then we stapled them.

Today they took home the mini-book. They were really happy because they are able to share and retell this story to their parents.

Here you have the video... Hope you like it!!

Daily News March-May

Hello Eveybody!!

This year in our daily routine we included the "circle time", in which children have a special time to express their feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

During this period of time we have also been working with our "Daily News", in which children not only give information, but learn new patterns and establish English estructures. This time we used personal information to work on that.

Here, I want to share with you what we have been working from March to the first days of May. Hope you like it!!

Love... pure love!

Hello everybody!!

LOVE... a great word right? especially when it comes from one of our students...

Last week I was playing with my children during the recess time when Jessi, my assistant, listened to one of the boys asking one of the girls to marry him. Yes!! So she called me and together we asked him what was going on... He told us that when he grow up he will marry her. Ohhh at least he is going to wait!! I said to myself.

But, something that called our attention was that this boy told us a week before that he was going to marry another girl! So, we asked him: "What happened with the other girl? Aren´t you going to marry her when you grow up?" then he became very serious to answer our question and he said whispering: "Well, the other girl broke my heart"

Can you imagine? It is really amazing to know that children can be so sincere expressing their feelings and thoughts and it is more amazing to realize that love can be expressed and felt in so many different ways... but, let me tell you that never in a purest one.
