Learning about polygons

We’ve been learning about polygons recently. We used some online games on the Smartboard. The kids loved them so I wanted to share the online.
All of them are in Spanish, but you’ll find different levels. I used all of them in my second grade classroom.

Have fun!

              

 

We used the Polygons Fold & Learn craftivity. It was super easy to put together and it was a good review before the test. You can find it in my TPT store.

Feliz dia de la Tierra

I know I am late… We don’t celebrate Earth day this week, but I thought I could share some useful resources with you:

All these online activities are in SPANISH. You can use them on your smart board to teach about recycling.
The first two are very simple. You just need to separate the residues. These are very basic so could be easily be used in Kindergarten classrooms too.

This one is a whole site dedicated to recycling glass. You’ll see lots of great printables, games, downloadable images and teaching materials.
My students love the recycling chain.

 This is a whole site dedicated to recycling in general (EnseƱar a reciclar). It can be used for any grade because it has many different games depending on the age. Check out the downloadable materials!

Hope you have a great week and you save many trees! And please check my Earth Day craft, it is featured on Erica’s blog: I am so excited that she will be using it with her students this week!

Getting ready for Spring break!

We just came back from Fallas break. Did you know about them. They are typical from Valencia. They create big monuments that are burned on the last day (March 19). It’s a whole week of  beautiful parades, monuments, fire-works, music and fun. I just have some photos because I am not living in Valencia so I only visited for a day.

After this mini-break… we are getting ready for Easter Break! Tests are over! Yipee! We celebrated with my last craftivity… Easter Bunnies.

My students loved this one. They are getting quite good with them. I showed them the instructions on the smartboard and they were able to do it on their own. Aren’t they adorable?

When do you start Spring break?
