POLAR EXPRESS

Hi :) , today I say goodbye to you because I have to study for my University exams. And I have decided to publish this entry, is about the story of the Polar Express,  I loved this story when I was little. So, I think that there is no better way to say goodbye. I hope you like it.

This is the story of a young hero boy on Christmas Eve who boards on a powerful magical train that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus's home. What unfolds is an an adventure which follows a doubting boy, who takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole; during this ride, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery which shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

You can work the story in class, and do fun activities. Here's material I hope you find it useful.

Christmas stories

The magician

HOW WE ARE GOING TO WORK THE BOOK
“The Magician” is a funny book for children of 3rd level of primary school. The author of the book is Günter Gerngross and the editorial is Longman.
We have chosen this story because we think that is appropriate for nine-yearold
children. It has many colourful pictures and the vocabulary is suitable.
To work the reading of the story at the class we will read a chapter each day.
Children will read the book loudly together. When pupils finish each chapter, teacher
will ask about details of the story.
Next day, children will do an oral summary before they start to read another
chapter.
When the book finishes, pupils will do an activity with Movie Marker that
consists of order cartoons basing on reading. The final result will be a movie with story
pictures and a song of bottom. Each group choose the song that they want.
This is an example of how could be the Movie Maker activity done by children.

The three musketeers

HOW WE ARE GOING TO WORK THE BOOK
“The Three musketeers” is an interesting book for children who are in the 6 level of primary school. The author of the book is Alexander Dumas and the editorial is Burlington Books.
We have chosen this story because we think that is appropriate for twelveyear-old
children and it is a historic novel which pupils can learn new vocabulary.
To work this reading at the class we will read loudly together. When pupils
finished each chapter, they will translate and comment it with their partners. Next day,
children will do an oral summary before they start to read more pages of the story.
When the book will have finished, pupils do an activity with Glogster, an
application to do murals in groups. They will have to create the poster with sentences
from the book, pictures, songs, characters, the title of the story, and whatever they
want. Finally, they will expose it to the class.

Christmas

As teachers have a major role in explaining this holiday season, here I leave some material.

The celebration of the holiday season like children. But often are unaware of the origin of this holiday season. Explain to children where they come from these celebrations is a good way to understand the meaning of Christmas. Thus, we will be transmitting the cultural meaning of these holidays. It is important to explain to children the meaning of Christmas, beyond fun and gifts

Halloween is come

We are in October and we have to start working the Halloween party with kids, here I have material to become familiar with the characters that appear, are very useful to work the alphabet or math.

BUILDING A CLOCK

We've officially wrapped up our main time telling lessons for a while, and we've simply been doing review. I may leave instructions in the kids journals for them, or I may print out a silly worksheet for them to tend to, or we play a fun time telling game. Either way, they've retained a good deal of what they know. Which means I can now find them reliable when I ask them to check the time for me, which happens quite often. Mainly because our new stove has no clock upon it. Not so cool when you must stand there and mix something for 2-3 minutes. I wanted to put that on my clock, which I tried to do with a few Crayola washables.

I've been looking for different ways to work the hours with children, and this is the idea that I most liked. I think it is a fun and easy way for children to learn the hours in English. This would be the end result.

In the classroom, one of the most important is that children have a series of routines that help them learn the months of the year, days of the week, seasons, weather that makes...It is very important that the concepts are clear and orderly and for them I present this craft that I found very useful and nice to work these concepts with the children.
You can use these cards with cardboard and many colors, love your students. Here there is useful material to decorate the classroom, I hope you like it: http://www.kindercrazeblog.com/
