The story of the week

Nowadays if you have a good idea it is very important how you are going to transmit it in order to obtain what you want. Doing good presentations and using free resources help us to reach one of our objectives as teacher: transmiting information and creating new schemes and links in their minds.

At the beginning we studied the links of the activity but were worried because we did not know how to look for creative common images and how to referenciate them, so we decided to take our computers out and look on internet for information.

We also started thinking about a good topic to explain to our classmates, finally we decided to talk about the different religions in the world, we decided this because we live in a multicultural society and our children have friends from other religions so they have to be concious of it and respect others.

Then we prepared the two slideshows one related to Creative Common and Tips to do good presentations and also another related to religions.

The day of the presentation arrived and everyone was taking notes about the performance of the different groups

Although our brilliant stars seemed to be happy, they were very nervous about the presentation. But in the end they shone bright like diamonds.

Discovering good resources

There are people all over the world that do incredible activities like Jessica from the States, to promote kindness and building self steem she has adapted an activity called "Random Acts of Kindness".Every child has an envelope with a secret mision inside, the kid has to do seven good acts to other people (they are written in the instructions) but the person who receive the good act doesn´t have to know who did it so children feel like misterious ninjas doing good things. You can see my comment on: 

It is a secret...!

I really like also her class, the way she has decorate her classroom, with comfortable chairs to read books, with a science blackboard, a meeting area...In this way you alow the children to be relax and ready to learn.

Jessica's classroom

There are people all over the world that do incredible activities and people very close to us that do the same. I am talking about our classmates of "giveme7", they did a very good presentation last monday including dinosaurs to get childres's attention,I will copy this and using other resources like glasses to support my presentations.
