Reading is an endless source of vocabulary and structures embedded in a relevant context.
I have used it as a model to create my own chart.

As this year my school is working on tourism I thought that it could be a great idea to use one of the displays that I saw there to foster reading. Here is the result!

The goal of this activity is to be the first getting rid of all the loop's pieces.
The pieces contain the beginning and the end of two different sentences, so the students must listen to each other to place the pieces correctly.
LANGUAGE USED:
  • I have...
  • I need...
  • Who has...
OBJECTIVES:
  • To review the difference between molecules and atoms.
  • To review the properties of materials.
  • To consolidate the different types of mixtures. 
  • To review the types of changes in matter.

For a 4th grader it is quite hard as it's a very abstract concept, so I thought to use what I learn about drama and multisensory learning to design an easy game in which they could visualize the difference between a molecule and an atom.
I told them that they were atoms, so they had to move freely around the class. Then, I shouted molecules of X number of atoms and they had to join together holding arms.
They enjoyed the game quite a lot, as it involved movement and they understood that a molecule is when 2 or more different atoms join together

I have created a small online library to practise reading aloud. I project the book on the smart board and we read it together.]]> 2016-12-28 09:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144837549 TRANSITION SONG mariajesus_dh https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144838274 2016-12-28 09:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144838274 TRANSITION SONG mariajesus_dh https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144838342 At West Earlham School I learnt the power of transition songs with timers. They use them to move from one activity into the next one smoothly, to tidy up or line up. The teacher plays the song and the students know what they have to do.
I have used them in class and my students loved them! They help them focus on the task and manage time.]]> 2016-12-28 09:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144838342 BRAIN GYM mariajesus_dh https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144838377 I had never heard about Brain Gym until I went to Catton Grove. I have used this song with my class to experience a brain gym technique with them and it was a success. ]]> 2016-12-28 09:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mariajesus_dh/32rmvupjum3r/wish/144838377
