Os agradezco todos los esfuerzos que estáis haciendo para ayudar a vuestros/as hijos & hijas en estos momentos tan difíciles.  Son tiempos realmente excepcionales. Este blog es un intento para proporcionaros unos ideas, actividades etc. para que los niños & niñas pueden seguir con su inglés, y que tengan la posibilidad de seguir en contacto con el colegio, y por supuesto conmigo.  Para ser muy sincera, yo por mi parte he echado de menos estos ratos en clase, cuando nos hemos reído por alguna tontería o comentario gracioso por parte de uno de ellos. Estoy segura que todos & todas estamos deseando poder recuperar nuestras vidas en cuanto antes, y espero que sea pronto.  Mientras tanto aquí en este blog, intentaré a cercarme, aunque de manera virtual, con el objetivo de ayudaros, y facilitaros la tarea.

Tomorrow will be St. Patrick's Day A truely famous Irish tradition Since we cannot be in school to celebrate it, I'm sure there is something that we can do at home! First, we can all dress in green.   From head to toe.   Don't forget to take a photo! Once you are dressed in green from head to toe, have a look at this link here for some true Irish celtic music.   Choose the one you like best. https://www.letsplaykidsmusic.com/celtic-songs-for-st-patricks-day-kids/ Move the furniture out of the way to make room to dance. Get all the famiy involved!! TIME FOR SOME ARTS & CRAFTS Click on the link below.  Look for what you can recycle from around your home to try to make this Leprechaun.  What's a Leprechaun?  He is a man as tall as a three year old child, with a beard and a hat.  He makes and repairs shoes with a small hammer.  Leprechauns love to play tricks. You can make more than one, and then hang them up around your house.
