Topic: Our Community

The class is comprised of 15 students aged five to six. These students study English one hour daily, in their kindergarten. They only have one teacher and even do they are in a Spanish environment the kindergarten is bilingual so the teacher tries to speak English only.
The classroom is equipped with a T.V., DVD player, a CD cassette player and a board. The students also have basic school supplies. Furthermore there is a access to a playground and lunch room.
Upon completion of this unit, children will be able to recognize and identify the places of a community such as hospital, police station, fire station, school, etc. they will be also capable of recognize the most important occupations.

You know what they say...Pink is the new black! I like your class description and your general focus on the community helpers (police, firefighters,doctors,etc.) Kids LOVE to talk about what they want to be when they 'grow up' (If I ever did grow up, please let me know) and that is an excellent way to get them to speak a foreign language!!

to have the kids express their desires and ambitions on my experience it´s one of the best ways to make them speak a foreign language
Keep it on!

Dina: Your activities are very nice all the time, this time the glasses were amazing! Kids will have a lot of fun with you! details like this can make the difference in the teaching-learning process. Believe me I was amazed. That kind of things really motivate learners especially at a young age. I believe the poster was really well-done also. A really good idea would be to ask the kids to come dressed as a police man or a fire fighter, or a doctor etc. And ask them to identify their roles and the place that each profession corresponds to, like a police station, a hospital etc. The students will actually experience being part of a community. This would be good for the global activity, because they will speak, like: I´m a doctor..., or for listening could be who belong to the hospital? And so on..

The other activities were nice also, Edilberto: thanks for the prizes that really motivates! And the puzzle is a really good idea, they will defenitely read!
Nice job guys!
