This week has been a geyser of inspiration, activities, positivity, and a whirlwind of incredible experiences. I'm heading home not only full of enthusiasm but also with plenty of new ideas and alternatives for my teaching. Our amazing trainer Cristina (an Anglo-Spanish educator) taught us every day with joy and energy, showing us that it's essential to teach with joy—no matter what.

Eric Carle - From Head to Toe - one of his famous book

Eric Carle incorporated psychological themes and developmental considerations into his children's books, particularly those focusing on the transition from home to school. He aimed to create a bridge between these two environments, recognizing the potential anxieties children face in unfamiliar settings. Carle's work also emphasized the importance of fostering creativity, learning, and positive self-image in young readers.
