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!

What If we became cavemen!?

The kids played with the smart boards and brainstormed about where they thought the cavemen lived!

Many rough cavemen took over our school that day!

Some of them were nice, but some of them were very angry!

The kids created a big stone wall with the typical cavemen drawings!

The entrance of our classrooms were just like walking inside caves!

"ARGG"

What If we became Gardeners!

Many students brought Gardeners props to play the part!

They all made their own name tags so that they could recognize their own plant!

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

Lets Cook!

This week the students learned new vocabulary related to food, cooking and their immediate environment: their homes. They learned the importance of a healthy nutrition and remembered not to eat a lot of candy this halloween! They learned the song "Rooms in a home" and experienced many fun activities, where they integrated what they learned with awareness of their bodies!

"Mmm....Dónde estará la A de apple para marcarla con purple"

Look at our tongues! They can taste all the flavours!

This is the group in charge of cooking the protein of the meal;
