What If we went to the Farmer's Market?

This week we continued with the rooms of the house. We learned about the dining room and practiced vocabulary with the letter A. We also learned about the importance of a good and healthy nutrition full of  fruits and vegetables. In this amazing activity of What If each student brought fruits and vegetables to our unique farmer's market.  They first acted like buyers and then like sellers!! They practiced Math with pretend money that they made, reeinfocing simple addintion and subtraction operations! After this busy day at the Farmer´s Market the students enjoyed a healthy snack.

"Cuanto cuestan los pepinos?"

"Tengo 8 pesos, me das un apple?"

"Te doy 3 y  tu me das una ciruela!"

"Quién quiere una zanahoria?"

"Compré un carrot y un apple!"

"Quién quiere esta fruta! Se ve deliciosa!"

What If we became Chefs!

 During this What If the students dressed up as Chefs and enjoyed many "kitchen" activities:

• Cooking (healthy, balanced meals)
• Observing a fruit art show 
• Discovering the school´s industrial kitchen
• Playing with their kitchen utensils 

Andres Felipe is chopping up many vegetables for his healthy, delicious soup!

What If: Pijama Party!

During the week the students were very excited to welcome the month of Halloween! We asked them to brainstorm about what they thought this month is about. They mentioned scary stories, haunted houses, and, of course,  candy! That's why for this What If we enjoyed an activity that joined together many of the ideas that the kids proposed. We did a Pijama Party where each student got the chance to tell a scary story, they watched a small part of the movie Mouse Hunt, they ate nice treats and Marshmellos, they searched for the haunted clues inside the house (there was a hidden moon, stars, many mice and masks), and they played games letter integration games.

"Los marshmellos me saben dulce!"
"El dorito es un triangle!"
"Los doritos me saben a Umami!"
"El platano es dulce!"
"Las papas me sabieron acido"
"Los marshmellos me sabieron masmelo"
"Si regamos la comida vienen los mouse!"

"Encontré la de Sun!"

"Tengo la de Sock y la de Sun"

The Students are listening to a scary story!

What If - Picnic

In this What If the students experimented with their tongues and with their sense of taste. All the 5 taste groups where introduced: salty, sour, bitter, sweet and umami. Each student brought food that corresponded to one of the five taste groups and we shared them in a wonderful picnic. Some students agreed to be blind-folded in order to guess the secret taste!


 

Maria Victoria is loving the umami taste! 

 

                                 Each Pre Kinder course arranged a cozy spot for the activity.

What If - Beach Day!

This week the children learned vocabulary related to / S / (sun, spider, snake, sand, socks, and seed) They learned to identify the different parts of the body and name them in English. We went "fishing" and sorted out the fish according to their color and made groups of 5. 

In What If?  we went to the "beach" and  the children explored with some of their senses (touch, smell and see) .

Juan David and Christian Andres are "floating" on the sea.

 Nicole is getting a very nice sun tan.

Felipe is making sand angels.

The students are getting ready to go the the "beach".

What If - Scouts

What If  we became Scouts? 

During this week, the students learned vocabulary related to the letter  /F/ (fox, family, farmer, feather, fish, fence, flower, fingers, feet, and friends), and exercised mathematical concepts like counting and  making sets with pictures of these words. They explored their senses when they became "scouts" and went in the search of the lost fox and its friends.

"I caught an /F/!"

During this What If the children got organized by groups according to each of the vocabulary words. They had to use their sense of sight to look for their particular picture group. All the pictures they found started with the letter F. 

Azul found many farmers!

This team found all the Foxes that where distroying the flowers and the fence!
