ABOUT THE SEA...

This year at our school we are going to work on a Project about "The Sea" and, to start in a funny way, let's have a look to this video were we can sing Jack Hartmann. His songs are one of the best in educational children's music

This song titled Five Little Fish focuses on basic addition and basic math skills using finger play.

Here you have the lyrics:

Hold up your hand – move your fingers to the beat

These are the fish swimming in the sea

When we start out let me see just one

Whoops say “hello” means another fish has come

One little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops say “hello

Two little fish swimming in a row

Two little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops, say “hello”

Three little fish swimming in a row

Three little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops, say “hello”

Four little fish swimming in a row

Four little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Here comes another fish, whoops, say “hello”

Five little fish swimming in a row

Five little fish swimming in the sea

Splishing and a splashing rockin’ to the beat

Five little fish swimming in a row

Let’s wave good-bye ‘cause whoops there they go

Let’s wave good-bye ‘cause whoops there they go.

LET'S START SEPTEMBER !

Let's start with the ABC's RAP

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

-->

The "Lawrence Textile Strike" or "Bread ans Roses strike" was a strike of immigrant workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912 led by the Industrial Workers of the World.

Prompted by one mill owner's decision to lower wages when a new law shortening the workweek went into effect in January, the strike spread rapidly through the town, growing to more than twenty thousand workers at nearly every mill within a week.

The strike lasted more than 2 months.

The slogan "Bread and Roses" originated in a poem of that name by James Oppenheim, published in The American Magazine in December 1911, which attributed it to "the women in the West."

Kronos and Xplane created this video in honor of International Women's Day (March 8th). The purpose of this video is to provide viewers with a look at several interesting facts and statistics about the changes and developments that have impacted women in the workforce.

What does equal mean to you? 

And for all the women in the world, my best wishes

21st FEBRUARY, INTERNATIONAL MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY

International Mother Language Day was proclaimed by the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in November 1999.

On 16 May 2009 the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution called upon Member States "to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world".

UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger

UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger is intended to raise awareness about language endangerment and the need to safeguard the world’s linguistic diversity among policy-makers, speaker communities and the general public, and to be a tool to monitor the status of endangered languages and the trends in linguistic diversity at the global level.

"In this age of new technologies, books remain precious instruments, easy to handle, sturdy and practical for sharing knowledge, mutual understanding and opening the world to all. Books are the pillars of knowledge societies and essential for promoting freedom of expression and education for all."

Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO

THE POWER OF WORDS.

Images and perceptions. Words and perceptions. How do you create constructive perceptions?

WHERE IS IT WRITTEN THAT...???

Where is it written that we can't change education?

Where is it written that the old way is the right way? Where is it written that the traditional education is the only way to get an education? That is the thing: it isn't written anywhere...
Kaplan University has this really inspiring spot about how they bring education to you, wherever you are. They use one of those desks there are at High School and Primary ones, in lots of cool locations

If you don't read, ...

Some years ago, Literacy Foundation's advertising campaign (Canada) took a nice phrase as a motto:"When a child does not read, the imagination disappears". This idea was developing on video simply but striking, that it is possible to watch later. In it, some protagonists of very known stories, as Cinderella, Peter Pan and Wendy, appear in a hospital. One notices them aged and tired, and because of it they look for the medical attention that they need. But especially in their faces the sadness is perceived, because they are sad, very sad. Maybe they suspect that their problems have to see with the mistake of imagination, and that they increase when the stories are not read not listened.

This blog arises from the need to make the process of education-learning more nearby between my pupils and the integration of the new technologies so much inside like out of the classroom.
