Are you ready for Christmas?: Ideas to decorate your school

To be sincere, I must say that I'm not ready for Christmas yet... but anyway, it's a good time to think about WHAT we want to do in our lessons before Christmas time.

Thanks God there're still some  people who think and invent. Thanks God there're still some people who create and think positively about this season...

I have to say THANK YOU to all of them, for giving us these clues and ideas. Without them, nothing would be the same, don't you think so?

Let's discover the ideas I'm talking about!!
Enjoy the week as it would be your last one!!
Love,

THANKSGIVING DAY!! Part 1.

Hello!! Next Thursday we will celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It's a great moment to teach our students this American tradition, don't you think?

If you don't really know what thanksgiving day is, you can read my last post on La clase de Daniela Online. There's an spanish explanation on it :P.

Moreover, I'd like you watch this video. It's the best one to make our students understand the meaning of Thanksgiving day.

I also found another video, which is special for the very young learners.

Please, if you like this article, share it with your friends.

The more you read, the more I post :P

Thanks a lot!!

Telling the time, Let's learn and play :D!!

Telling the time is something our students must know and use in their life. 

It's essential for us, teachers of English, to teach the time in an appropriate way, so they can manage themselves to tell the time from now on...

Some years ago, I shared some interesting links to make this possible.

Please, have a look at this LINK.

Although it's important to write some basic rules on the board and make our students copy a short guide and picture on their notebook, I suggest some other interesting activities to use in your English class.

The IDB (Interactive digital board) makes the work easier. Wait and see... :P

This LINK  (Time monsters) suggests different games. Step by step, our students will learn how to tell the time.

British Council website provides the knowledge through some interesting exercises. Click on the LINK

I'm sure all these interactive and digital ideas, will help you a lot.

My students love these activities and they really work :D.

Enjoy the week ;)

Love,

Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

Big and Small: Los dibujos de moda para los peques de la casa

Big and Small

¡Hola a todos! Hoy os traigo a unos amigos especiales.Ellos son Big and Small, y según me han contado, los peques de la casa los adoran. 
Siempre os he animado a ponerle a los niños dibujos animados en Inglés, poco a poco, incrementando así los minutos en Inglés. Eso hará que los niños tomen el Inglés como algo natural y se integren rápido en su aprendizaje.

Big and Small llega desde Canadá y el Reino Unido. Espero que os gusten y que vuestros hijos disfruten con sus juegos, canciones y voces.

Si quieres saber más de Big and Small, pincha aquí

Un besito y mi agradecimiento a mi compañero Daniel Pino, que fue quien me informó de estos dibujitos.

¡Un abrazo!

Can you see a song? By Eric Carle

I have never imagined before how wonderful it is to SEE a SONG :-). 

Eric Carle discovered a way of doing so. 

In the following video, you will SEE a SONG and you will understand the importance of combining both art and music.

Children will love it, and will develop some artistic skills.

It's easy! Just try!

Listen and watch to this video and show it to your dearest ones!

Love,

Teacher Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

Love, Love, Love ... :D

Simply love...


This world needs love, but a sincere and true love, don't you think so?. In this video , I have found the real meaning of love. These children show us the importance of love and the importance of being emotional.
Feelings can't be hidden, feelings must be part of us!!
I think this is a wonderful video.
Watch it and smile.
What is love for you? ;)

Songs to have fun with children!!

Row, row, row your boat...


When I was a child, I used to sing and listen this beautiful song with my daddy. It's great to listen and sing it again and again 30 years later, hehehe.
I love teaching this song to my students, specially when they're in the infant education.
Do you want to sing it too? Let's watch the next video!!
I hope you enjoy your holidays and have great experiences!
Kisses and hugs,

It's in the bag!!: Vanessa Reilly

Vanessa Reilly and me, last 8th of May  in Toledo, Spain.

Last month I had the opportunity to see again Vanessa Reilly. She  showed us some "secrets" to use English in a funnier way with our students.

It's incredible how a simple tetra brik top can help us to make a class register.

But, what I like most, were the head bands. With different felts, she made head bands for each of the characters of the English book (Splash).

Torches are also great for English teachers, because we can use them to point to the flashcards. Children will love using torches on the different games.

I suggest you all to visit Vanessa's blog here, with more brilliant ideas.

Thank you Vanessa!!

I hope to see you again soon!!!!

Kisses and hugs from,

Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

Reading Time: Graciela Castellano's books found at La Tienda del Profesor

Suggestions to be used with our students 

Dear friends,
Reading is one of the basic skills our children must acquire in the second language.
We as teachers should provide them good materials to make the reading interesting and funny.


Last week I visited "La Tienda del Profesor" and I found these two books, wich are perfect for some of my students.


My friends and Look at me are bilingual books, so they can be read in both languages.
The pictures are clear, beautiful and funny, so my students really love them.


Graciela Castellanos de López is the author of these two books.

Hanane y Shaima, felices con el libro que vamos a leer juntas.

Recomiendo ambos libros para leer en clase con los niños y así transmitirles el valor de la lectura, también en Inglés. Pueden leerlo en Español también para tener una base del contexto a leer.

¡Espero que os gusten !

Un besote,

Daniela A. Ayala M.
