Memories- a great song to teach...i'm going to do it to the next school party

"DO - RE - MI "

Let's start at the very beginning

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with - A - B - C

When you sing you begin with DO - RE - MI

DO - RE - MI

DO - RE - MI

The first three notes just happen to be DO - RE - MI

DO - RE - MI

DO - RE - MI - FA - SO - LA - TI... (Oh let's see if I can make this easier)

DO - a deer, a female deer

RE - a drop of golden sun

MI - a name, I call myself

FA - a long long way to run

SO - a needle pulling thread

LA - a note to follow SO

TI - a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to do...

DO - RE - MI - FA - SO - LA - TI - DO! - SO - DO!

"The Itsy Bitsy Spider"

Nursery Rhyme

The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
So the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Verse 1: Join the left index fingertip to right thumbtip and the right index fingertip to the left thumbtip. Keeping one fingertip and tumbtip touching, swing the other pair up to touch each other again. Repeat this "climbing" motion going"up the water spout

"Sprinkle fingers down for the second verse and make a sweeping motion for "washed the spider out"

Make a big sunshine (circle with your arms) for the third verse.Make your climbing fingers for the final verse.

The Gingerbread Man Bulletin Board

Some of the works my 1st year classes did, when I taught them the Gingerbread story...

some ideas:

- Make a Gingerbread Cookie with plasticine;

- Colour Dictation;

- Tell the story and students have to fill gaps with animal sounds and mimic;

- Give them a worksheet with lots of pictures and they have to colour and order only the pictures related to the story.

More ideas ????

Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

So be good for goodness sake

Que acham?

seating students

a good idea to seat students wherever you want is:

give them a picture or a word and they have to seat in the chair with the correspondent pic.

It can be picture-picture or word-picture

To all teachers who have to deal with indiscipline...

Do rio que tudo arrasa se diz que é violento, mas ninguém diz violentas
as margens que o comprimem...
(Bertolt Brecht)

a great methaphor ;-)
