Time for a song! Lukas Graham 7 years

Hello dear friends!
My students love this song! In fact I may say this one creates special emotional feelings in my English lessons.
It's great doing this task with them and see how well they behave in the activity. Sometimes teachers get magic with the tasks done in a class, don't you agree?

It has been a day to be remembered in my life!;-D so thank you so much to all my students for following my lessons with beautiful smiles and good disposal.

Enjoy this song, your song, my song ...
Kisses and hugs,
Teacher Daniela A. Ayala M.

Because I'm Happy - Pharrell Williams : Time for a Song

Happiness is the main objective in our lives and music always helps us to feel better.

For this reason, I have decided to sing this song with my students from 1st and 2nd level of E.S.O.

The video I'm sharing today is something special for me. I think it's full of energy and it spreads it everywhere, don't you think so?

This Karaoke version is amazing!! 

Let's sing it, dance it and learn it! and also... Yes!!! Let's learn English while we're singing it!

Clap along if you feel that that's what you wanna do!!!!

You can watch the original video in this LINK: The singer is Pharrell Williams

Take care!!!,

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.

Dear friends!! Once I saw a beautiful poster in my class with this nice song I couldn't resist myself to sing it with the kids. Also, this is one of my favorite songs so you can imagine how motivated I'm feeling with the song :D.

The lyrics is this one, but it is also added in the video taken from youtube:

Red and Yellow and Pink and Green

Purple and Orange and Blue,

sing a rainbow too.

Listen with  your eyes,

and sing everything you see.

You can sing a rainbow,

Red and Yellow and Pink and Green

Purple and Orange and Blue,

14th of February!: Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Today, many people will be wearing red clothes, or maybe some of them will be feeling better than yesterday, because they're in love, and because they're happy :D

Valentine's Day is celebrated all around the world. For many people it's just a normal day and for others it's the most romantic day of the year...

For me it's something which is in the middle of both things... it's not a normal day but it's not the most romantic day... :)

I mean,everyday is important when you're in love of someone. So you have to demonstrate your love and take care of it every day...

Today it's a good day to say "I LOVE YOU" to all the people you love: friends, family...
So, prepare something special and say it with a big smile :).

Happy Valentine's Day!!
Love,
Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

My favourite Valentine's songs for kids

Time for a Song--> Rihanna: Diamonds

Una de las cosas que más les gusta a nuestros chicos es escuchar y cantar las canciones que más les gustan y si están de moda mejor :).
Hoy hemos trabajado en clase de Inglés esta bonita canción, la cuál iremos cantando juntos a lo largo de la semana.
Los chicos disponen de una ficha con la letra para ir completando los huecos.
¡Lo hemos pasado estupendo hoy!
Besitos,
Daniela.

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!
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,
Teacher Daniela A. Ayala Molinari.

Someone like you...

Nowadays I love Adele, a great singer from Britain. She is a great and young singer and she sings one of my favourite songs which is "Someone like you".


My students also love her songs! This is the reason why I have chosen this song.


I suggest you to listen and watch the videos. You can also use the workheet. Doing so, your students can complete the song too.


Have a nice week,
love,
Daniela A. Ayala M.
