Learning the ABC and colours!

Learning the alphabet and the colours are the basic things our students should know in the first term of 1st grade Primary Education.

Today, I'd like you test this on called: Color by Letter.

A woman says the instructions. In the right column there're two letters and in the left side you can read and choose the different colours.

Once you've finished the exercise, the word is spelled.

I think this interactive activity is good for 5-6 year old students.

I hope you all love it!!

Do not forget to show this activity in the whiteboard. 

Coloring the star there will be totally different!!

Have an excellent week!!

Love,

Daniela A. Ayala M.

PS: Happy teacher's Day to all of you!!! ;)

Best Audiobooks for kids on 23rd April: World Book Day!

Loving books? Read the best Audiobooks for Kids!

Hello my dear friends!! 

World Book Day is celebrated  this 23rd April  all over the world. 
Are you planning anything at school?

Every year, students and teachers do special activities to motivate students and teach them the importance of reading...

I think reading is one of the best treasures we've got in our lives. Everybody can have a book. You can buy it or take it from the libraries. Also, it's very common to find a book at a very low prize in Old Book Fairs.
So... there's no excuse! We can all read a book!!! ;-D

Today, I'll show you some different websites that contains audiobooks. Have you ever listened to a book and read one? Here is your opportunity!
It's a great idea! don't you think so?

Now you can listen to some audiostories in your car while you're driving to school!!! It is also  used when doing some sports ;) Great idea then!!! :D

Goodreads
Kidsaudiobooks
Storynory
Other sites

Moreover, it's interesting to download Apps with good audiobooks. This LINK gives you some  ideas to be used in iOS and Android. Look!!!

See you in a next post!!

Enjoy Book Day!

Hugs and kisses,

Teacher Daniela A. Ayala M.

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.
