Eggshell Art
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 22nd, 2011
It's always fun to play with eggs! It's one of the first things we learn to cook, we can paint it especially during Easter, we can turn them into Humpty Dumpty and more! Besides the egg itself, we could also make use of the egg carton to make a variety of arts and crafts! In this case, we made use of just the eggshells! We were learning about the color white, and eggshells came to mind. - We didn't want to cook eggs just to take the eggshel...Read More » Tags

Daddy and Me Shape Collage
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 18th, 2011

For our theme on family, we decided to play with some shapes and make a picture with daddy! - This activity not only puts the children's imagination to a test, but it also gives us teachers the opportunity to start a small conversation with our students about their relationships with either their mom or dad. For older kids, yo...Read More » Tags

Bib Necklace of Family Members
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 11th, 2011
There are so many activities that come to mind when you think of FAMILIES, however, we try not to be too redundant else risk our students getting bored. - We wondered what activity we could do that would make the children more aware of the number of people in their families, as well as recognize the roles each one plays. We thought of several ideas, but none which really made us say, "This is it!"... until... - My co-teacher told me a...Read More » Tags

Much Fun at the Condura Skyway Marathon
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 8th, 2011
I didn't use to be addicted to running, so I always missed the Condura marathon. Thankfully, I made it this year! - I waited all year last 2010 for the next Condura run. I heard it was good, plus I wanted to help save the dolphins. Finally, registration began and I immediately rushed to the nearest registration center to sign up. I was really looking forward to this run that I even told myself, I was going to beat my PR! Days before the rac...Read More » Tags

Family Tree in Preschool
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 7th, 2011
When learning about our families, the family tree is one lesson or activity that we just couldn't miss out on. A family tree making activity can be done for all ages, from preschool to high school. It is one activity that would simply differ in the process it is made. So for my toddler class, what's the best way for the kids to make it? - My partner and I were discussing how we were to let the children make their family trees. Should we ask...Read More » Tags

Draw a Family Portrait
by Cheryl Villareal on Feb 3rd, 2011
This January, we are learning all about our families. So after telling the kids a story about families, we decided to let them draw their own. - Children's drawings are more important than most think. To some, their drawings might just look like random scribbles, to others, they might just look like normal drawings of a 3 year old child, but what most fail to realize is how the tiniest bit of detail is already a window to the child's feelin...Read More » Tags

Results of My Greentennial Run
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 24th, 2011
Last September (I think)... I registered for the Greentennial Run, simply because it was organized by La Salle, and the fee was way cheaper since it was still early.I was eagerly waiting for the run, though it was still months away. - Finally, 2011 rolled in... and there were just a few weeks before my first run for the year, the Greentennial Run. On the week itself however, there was a change of plans and I almost didn't make it to the run! ...Read More » Tags

Paper Tearing Orange
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 21st, 2011
Though not most people know it, paper tearing is actually an important skill toddlers need to learn. It is through this that they eventually learn to cut, write and draw. For our lesson on the color orange, we decided to let the kids try some paper tearing as well. We did not realize it immediately, but it turned out that several of our kids still did not know how to tear paper. Most of them still needed us to help them hold the paper as they ...Read More » Tags
