Doing good by doing well

Esta semana entregué los Sellos de Calidad eTwinning a cada uno de los participantes en el proyecto Edgar. Visité las tres aulas en las que este año están distribuidos mi ex-alumnos y aunque la celebración fue minimalista y se limitó a la entrega del diploma y de una carta, sin embargo, fue muy memorable. En la actual situación debemos ser prudentes, la seguridad y la salud son lo prioritario.

Si con "Juguetes para promover cultura "en 2014 conseguí mi primer Sello de Calidad Europeo y el primero para CEIP Rabindranath Tagore, con "Proyecto Edgar" en 2020 consigo el último y cierro mi etapa de eTwinner, una experiencia muy enriquecedora e inolvidable.

En estos años se han ido sumando compañeras a esta iniciativa europea y hasta la fecha el centro cuenta con cinco sellos de calidad europeos. En 2017 conseguimos ser eTwinning School , reconocimiento que no me cabe duda se volverá a revalidar con el trabajo y entusiasmo de las nuevas generaciones de docentes.

Doing good by doing well

Be thankful!

Be thankful for home
Be thankful for food
Be thankful for birds that fly
Be thankful for sleep
Be thankful for flowers
Be thankful for clouds in the sky.
Be thankful for friends
Be thankful for rain
And the rainbows that follow close by.

This isn't just a turkey

As everyone can see,

I made it with my hand

Which is part of me.

It comes with lots of love

Especially to say,

I hope that your
Thanksgiving Day

has been a lot of fun.

Latest news with Edgar!

As I have told you, Edgar, is already in Germany and as it is normal at this time of the year, he also has to take exams. He has to make a presentation of all his experiences during these months in which he has visited different schools. He needs to convince a jury of how important his activities with children have been, what we have learned and how much fun we have had.

At the moment I leave you a game to dream of wonderful vacations in the member countries with which we have worked on this project.

Siences with Siena!

On Friday I got this beautiful piece of art by David, and I believe this is a good opportunity to share, especially in this unit about animals.

We are delighted with Siena 's PowerPoint presentation. Read the sentences to review the contents of our unit "Animals" and then, make a very creative mind-map.

Rubrics with Edgar!

A rubric is a set of criteria for students' works that includes descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria.

Virtual trip to the jungle!

We have been learning how animals' bodies are covered, how they move, what their limbs are like...and for today we have this beautiful poem.

Jungle Rhyme

Monkeys can jump and climb trees
Giraffes are tall and they eat leaves

Parrots are colorful and they can fly
Elephants can’t but would love to try.

Turtles are green and they can swim
Cheetahs can run and they always win

Zebras look like horses but they are black and white

Hippos are big and snore at night.

Let's explore the jungle!

Mandatory mask-wearing!

According to the ministerial order, published Wednesday in the Official State Gazette (BOE), face masks must be worn in the “public street, in open-air spaces and any closed space that is for public use or that is open to the public, where it is not possible to maintain [an interpersonal] distance” of two meters. The new rules apply to everyone over the age of six.

ICT with Edgar

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is important in Primary Education because of it enables kids to search for the information they need and to organize what they have found.

COVID-19 is a great moment for learning in a different way. Teachers, parents, and students need access to training and support.

Animal Classification II

Animals are living things so they need to eat food. We classify animals into three groups: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.

Herbivores: herbivores eat plants. They eat different parts of plants such as leaves, roots, and fruit. Herbivores have special teeth to help them cut and chew plants. Deer, cows, and rabbits are herbivores.

Carnivores: carnivores eat other animals. They hunt and eat meat. They have sharp teeth and excellent eyesight. Foxes, eagles, and lions are carnivores.

Omnivores: omnivores eat plants and other animals. bears and chimpanzees are omnivores.

Animal Classification I

Animals are classified into different groups based on their characteristics. Invertebrates are animals that do not have a spine or backbone. Vertebrates, on the contrary, have a backbone.

Vertebrates are classified into fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

Now that we have a general idea let's go through English!
