Little Chefs

I taught the children a song about pizza and i promised them that the moment they memorized it, we are going to make a pizza in school. That motivated them to learn the song very very quickly.


So last Friday was pizza day in school. We put all the ingredients that we learned in our pizza song like cheese, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, oregano, etc.... It was great to see the children busy putting the toppings.


At the end of the cooking session, one of the kids told me: " Teacher Madie, i want to be a chef someday". WOW! that was a great reward after a hard day's work.

visite de la famille

My older brother from Australia , Maroine and his family, came to visit the school. As he plays the guitar very well, i asked him to do a little presentation for the children during Circle Time. My niece, Ivah Marie, who is into Origami, demonstrated to the kids how to make a frog and other Origami stuff. Everybody had FUN ! Proof? Just look at the photos below:

What do plants need?

The children in the extended day program had botany today. And today's lesson was the needs of a plant for it to grow. I decided to do the lesson outside in the garden to create the ambiance and to keep the classroom clean as we were working with water and compost. We did an experiment. We planted two similar plants ( a tambis teacher Wena said) in a pot. One pot we left in the garden exposed to the sun and air and we will water in the succeeding days. Another pot we put in the cubbyhole of the children, deprived of the sun, air and water. We will start our observation tomorrow and record them.

We talked about moss formation during Circle time yesterday. I then put the cement with moss in the nature table right after the discussion. I saw children queuing up to take a closer look. It is good to see the children taking interest in nature and in what is happening around them.
