Can’t catch me!

Hola familias!! Seguramente vuestros peques habrán llegado a casa diciendo una cantinela como esta: can’t catch me, can’t catch me!, y unos papelitos de cinco minutos y un cocodrilo, verdad? 

Pues es de una historia que les he contado ayudándome de dibujos en la pizarra y de mucha mímica (he de confesar que también hago bastantes monerías jaja). Se trata de cinco monos en un árbol junto a un río en el que aguarda pacientemente un cocodrilo. Los monitos  que son bastante traviesos no hacen más que chinchar al cocodrilo y éste se los va zampando uno a uno (yo para darle menos dramatismo a la cosa les digo que luego los escupe). Está inspirada en una canción tradicional que podéis ver en el vídeo que os pongo a continuación. 

También os comparto el documento del que he tomado las imágenes para colorear y recortar los monkeys y el crocodile.

Espero que vuestros hijos os la cuenten!!! 

See you later, alligator!!

It´s not summer yet but... It´s boiling hot!

There´s nothing better than a refreshing popsicle in the summer. You can easily make these homemade popsicles with fruit from your fridge and it´s a perfect healthy snack!

You won´t believe how easy these are to make and kids love helping too!

En este enlace podréis ver una publicación en Instagram con otras combinaciones de fruta para los popsicles!

Here we go!! Hi everyone!

Hi!! Welcome to a new school year! We are going to start with some morning routines for the circle time.

These songs and concepts are very basic because they are thought for three years old pupils, for the older ones we raise the level of difficulty, introducing more concepts and vocabulary.

GOOD MORNING:

Good morning, good morning,
how are you? how are you?
I´m very happy, I´m very happy
in my school, in my school

                              _________________o_________________

Good morning, good morning,
good morning to you!
Good morning mr. Rooster
cock-a-doodle-doo

Good morning, good morning,
good morning to you!
Good morning mr. Rooster
cock-a-doodle-doo

Cock-a-doodle-doo, cock-a-doodle-doo
cock-a-doodle-doo! Good morning to you!

We say Hello, good morning! to SPOT (a ladybug), and ask her How are you today? (by turn, one by one, they ask SPOT and then they say how they feel in that moment)
I´m happy
I´m fine, thank you
Not bad
I´m sad
I´m hungry
I´m surprised
I´m scared
I´m angry

TODAY IS.... (Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday)
AND IT´S.... (sunny, cloudy, raining, windy, stormy, foggy)

COLORS: (with flaschards and posters, songs and videos)

NUMBERS: (with songs and videos)

HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CLASS?
HOW MANY CHILDREN ARE AT HOME?
THERE ARE ... BOYS
THERE ARE.... GIRLS

After that we dance a little with these songs:

Then, let´s have fun with these videos while we learn some vocabulary about numbers, weather and animals

And finally, we get ready for relax time and say goodbye to our pet SPOT

I hope you like these videos and what we do in class! Enjoy and see you soon!!!

Good morning song: (Frère Jaques tone)

Good morning, good morning,

I´m very happy, I´m very happy,
in my school, in my school

Today it´s .... (monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday)
and it´s ... (sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy...)

Days of the week song:

Monday, tuesday,
wednesday, thursday,
friday, saturday,
sunday
I love the days of the week, yeah
I love the days of the week

Count from one to ten at 3 years old, and from one to twenty at 4 and 5 years olds.
If it´s the first session, the responsible and the helper count how many children are in the class, and how many are at home. They write their names on the whiteboard.

By the way, here is a very funny game for counting ;)

 

 

 

Sing the ABC´s

At 5 years old we do spelling exercises and word work

Colors review

Shapes review 

If we have time, we sing and dance some movement and circle songs like

One little finger
Head, shoulder, knees and toes
If you´re happy
The hockey pokey
And so on

Numbers

Here are some videos to learn numbers. They are in order of difficulty. I hope you like them!
