CHICKS!!

We are learning The life cycle in our class and the incubator arrived just in time!!
This is the incubator with our five eggs. We learned that they need to be incubated and the most vital factor of incubation is the constant temperature required for its development. In the incubator they were at 100 degrees (more or less) and they need to be there because they didn't have their mom.
After two days (the eggs came nearly to hatch) the first egg started to move, and we saw a little hole!! It was so little, as you can see, but we were super excited.
After some hours we could see the first chick!!
And as you see in the picture some other eggs were starting to hatch!!
In just three days we had the five chicks alive!! We were super happy because last year we weren't as lucky as this year and two eggs didn't hatch... :(

Aren't they cute??
Here there is a beautiful picture of their progress...
And in the classroom we did a project I found on pinterest super fun for the students and very helpful to learn about the Life cycle...
This is the project...
And here we have some students working on it...




Super fun!!!

    We've hatched chicks (and other eggs - ducks last year and quail this year) for the last 3 years. It is SO much fun and the kids love it! Yours are super cute!

APRENDIZAJE COOPERATIVO I: AGRUPAMIENTOS

Image
La estructura básica para trabajar con aprendizaje cooperativo se basa en la construcción de grupos heterogéneos en base a diversos citerios: sexo, etnia, perfil de inteligencia, rendimiento académico, nivel de integración, actitud hacia la cooperación, destrezas cooperativas, nivel de disrupción... De cara a sacar el máximo partido de la interacción social en el aula debemos estar abiertos a la utilización puntual de agrupamientos más homogéneos, teniendo en cuenta dos cuestiones: 1. Partiremos de unos equipos-base que serán heterogéneos 2. Los combinaremos con otros agrupamientos esporádicos para la realización de tareas concretas. El tamaño ideal de un grupo de aprendizaje cooperativo es cuatro alumnos porque: 1. Existe suficiente diversidad 2. El número de alumnos no es muy elevado, por lo que el funcionamiento no resulta excesivamente difícil 3. Si uno de los estudiantes no asiste a clase, el grupo nno queda demasiado mermado 4. Sobre todo: Puede subdividirse en pare

FALLAS PROJECT... Celebration in Valencia (Spain) brought to UTAH!!

Image
We have been busy working on this project... Fallas is a traditional celebration held in commemoration of St. Joseph in Valencia, Spain. It is celebrated from the 15th to the 19th of March every year. The term "Fallas" or in our local language "Falles" refers to both the celebration and the monuments created to be exposed and finally burned during this celebration. There are a lot of traditions that I wanted to share with my first graders but I just shared the most important ones... In the school we started searching about it and watching and printing photos of the most important customs and we did a big poster with pictures showing great moments. We colored one typical dress and we glued a photo of our face on it... So cute! After that we made "petardos" (Firecrackers) and we hanged them around the classroom. Of course we did our monument, our falla, on a paper and we added some tissue paper to simulate they were on fire!!
