Feelings


I participate in BSB (British school of Brussels) for a few days. I loved the idea at the entrance hall of the class. Here are four glass bowls. Each bowl represents another feeling. Red: angry, yellow: happy, green: calm, Blue: sad. This is in relation to the book "The colour monsters". When the children come into the classroom, they take a punpon of one of the four colours and put it in the bowl. In this way the teacher can see how the toddlers are feeling today. I would immediately take this idea with me to my own classroom. Feelings are so important. It is a difficult given feeling for children. That is why I believe that working around feelings is very important.

Adobe Spark video

What is Adobe Spark video?  It is a very useful app to make easy and quick educational videos that you can use immediately in your class. You don't have to be a computer expert to learn to work with Adobe Spark video. In my opinion it is very user friendly . Animals  The first video I made is about animals, I put sounds to it that the animals make, To learn the Spanish children at my internship the English words of pets. I’m convinced when you use realistic images and sounds that the children will remember it better. You can also hide the images and let them hear only the sound and then they need to guess which Animals that they hear. Pictogrammen about clothing.

Numbers The thirth video is about numbers. On the left side you have the number and the other side you ...

Mila Lila Learning French

What or who is Mila Lila?  It's a program to bring children in contact with french. The purpose is not learning french, they will definitely learn but that's not the main goal of the two kindergarten teachers (Suzi and Sofie) that made the whole program. I'm super bad in french but I have seen what a good impact Mila Lila has on the children. Mila Lila French language initiation for young children It is created by two teacher, who still work as teachers. It started as a hobby in their own classroom and is now becoming a success in more schools Mila Lila developed into an educational project that focuses on multilingualism and diversity. As we live in a multi-cultural world it is fantastic to introduce a foreign language in the classroom at a young age. Young children pick up a new language much faster when it is introduced in a natural way. As we all know that children learn new words every day. I had the pleasure to be an English teacher when I was in...

Robots are not only the play toys that children have at home. Your radio is a robot your TV, vacuum cleaner, car, washing machine, ... all things that are designed to help us to make things easier.
