WE LOVE MONKEYING AROUND IN 4 YEARS OLD. week 1

 

So finally the jungle project is taking form. The kiddos are incredibly motivated and we are learning lots of things.

What to do first?? TURN THE CLASS INTO A JUNGLE!

CAN YOU SEE EXPLORER PETE?

THE CRUISE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION THE SAME AS THE PALM TREES

can you see our great snake? we borrowed it from one of the school teachers' kids.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE JUNGLE RELATED THINGS THE KIDS BROUGH TO SCHOOL HELP US WORK ON THE PROJECT. 

 

 

 

we started the project by watching "the jungle book" eating popcorn. The kids earned their popcorn party because they used their english a lot in class.

We took a look at a map and a globe to see how far the jungles are from our town. We also checked some interesting places on the map such as countries some kids or their parents come from, places they have been in Spain...

we played and explored the different materials the kids brought and talk about lots of animals.

We started by saying things we know about the jungle and its animals:


one of the kids brought a snake and we checked if it was longer or shorter than the one Sara lend us.

After watching the jungle book we were very curious about why kaa was "hugging Mowgli"
so we learned that boa constrictors strangle their preys and then eat them whole.
We are so impress that now we "hug" all our our stuffed animals:
