Museo de los Niños

 During this What If the students explored some interesting places of the city!
First they went to the Virgilio Barco library and made interesting parallels with the architecture of Gimnasio Fontana! Then they visited the "Museo de los Niños" where they explored with their senses and passed through different stations that taught them about they way cities work!

What if we explore nature?

 During this What If the students became explorers of the schools nature. They first went to observe different locations of the school that have special plants and insects. After this they returned to the classrooms and recorded, as scientists, their findings, with water color paintings. 

What If we play in the city!

The students went to the theater to see a dance presentation. 

Este pilot  nos describió el incendio desde las alturas!

 During this What If the students discovered the different places inside a city. According to their  costumes, we created an exciting story where they had to act their part and visit the different places. 

Los dos Firemen, Jeronimos,  nos hicieron una demostración de cómo se preparan para

 atender el incendio.

Fuimos al Theater para ver la presentacion de las patinadoras de hielo!

What If we explore the roles of the city

"Quiero ser un Ice Skater"

"Cuando sea grande voy a apagar muchos incendios, y me voy a vestir así"

"Yo soy una periodista!"

"Soy un doctor que ayuda a las personas!"

"Soy una patinadora de hielo!"

What If we build a recycled city!

"Este building va a ser Red"

"Voy a pintar este BUILDING RED!"

"Todos los parqueaderos van a ser YELLOW"

"Esta botellita es mia y la voy a transformar en una obra de ARTE!"

All the kids working together as a team!

Our City

What If we became Painters!

During this What If we arranged the classrooms so that they looked like a professional art class. As you can see in this picture, these 4 and 5 year olds look like university students! Very concentrated with the classical music playing on the background.

Peace and concentration is the key!

What If we go shopping in a CANDY STORE!

The kids of the right are selling the candy, and the kids on the right are buying the candy with fake money that they created on their own. They wrote down the numbers and counted their own money.

The kids explored the concepts of HEAVY and LIGHT with these balances and they had the chance to weigh their candy!

"hmm como hago para que me queden igual de pesados?"

The student then had to classify all the candy that they brought according to categories that they created!

What If we went on a Scavenger Hunt!!!

Here all the kids are looking for their specific vocabulary picture! The teachers gave them a particular letter and they had to search for the matching picture that they created! This way the students are actively building their knowledge, and they are participating in every step of the process. They created their own flashcards with the vocabulary of the project and related those pictures with the letters that we were studying.

After they gathered their flashcards they had to organize them inside the shapes that had the big letter drawn on top. This triangle had the letter /C/, so the students had to place the flashcards of the carrots, cakes and cookies inside this shape!

"Carrot empieza por la /C/ verdad?"

This square had all the flashcards with the letter /P/.

At the end of the scavanger hunt the students gathered the flashcards together and organized the pictures according to where they belonged in this enormous mural!
