The second month!

Weeks have passed and they have been filled with activities! Teachers have worked hard to keep the kids happy, and they've returned the favor :)

On the 20th of November, Group 7 did a small project for Światowy Dzień bez Papierosa, and, as you can see, it turned out quite gorgeous

The kids also had a lot of fun learning body parts in Spanish - by singing with Pani Aida!

On the 25th of November, the whole kindergarten celebrated Dzień Pluszowego Misia. Everyone had a teddy bear that day, and the kids of Group 7 worked in pairs to draw and paint a teddy together! These photos prove they're great at teamwork ;)

We also took advantage of the "warmer" November days to go for a walk around the neighborhood

Group 7 worked hard to make a lot of snowmen, reindeer, and Santa Clauses, and pani Marzena arranged them in a display of winter wonderland. The class is now in full Christmas mode!

Last week, Group 5 was busy making wonderful Christmas decorations using the découpage technique. Pani Gosia was working with no more than three kids at a time so she could help them focus, and the results were amazing! Each kid made their very own bombka :)

We spent a lot of time playing, drawing and talking with the kids - even though the conversations didn't always make sense, we like to think we understood each other :)

Cześć!

It has already been a month and a half since Aida and I started working in Przedszkole 176. Time flew by, and we have a lot to share with you! But first, let us shortly introduce ourselves. 

Our names are Aida and Matea - Aida is 22 years old and comes from Spain, and Matea is a 25 year old Croatian. Aida studied early childhood education, while Matea studied English and Croatian, and is a teacher and a translator. We are both very excited to be here, and Kraków already feels like home!

These first days have been full of activities. We taught the kids how to say names of colors in Spanish and Croatian, told them a fairy tale in our native languages, played with them, laughed with them, and learned with them. They became our unofficial teachers of Polish!

Instead of continuing to write a lot, here are some photos (which are worth a thousand words) :)

To the Indians!

This day, 5th of June, we went outside from Krakow with the groups 5 and 7. After 45 minutes of bus, going up and down throught the montains, we arrive in a kind of Indian camp.
A animator was waiting for us there, and we started the activities. After some visites of typical Tippis and explanations about the Indian's life, we made a neckless, with a stone which represented an Eye.
When everybody had his "Lucky Eye" around the neck, we started some nice activities outside.
I let you have a look in this video!

Konkurs

This week,  6th and 7th groups participated to a konkurs, about Krakow and its traditions. So before to go, we released our finests suits and costumes, the "krakowski stroj". 

The all group looked so nice in this suits, with a lot of colour, a skirt for the girls and an elegant white shirt for the boys. Ready? 

So let's go. We went by bus, and we had 100 meters to walk to reach the place of konkurs. And actually, everybody was stopping in their way to look at our group, the people were happy to see us going like this, with the costumes. It was kind of attraction, a huge group of children wearing the colorful costume of Krakow. 

A last glass of water before the performance, we listen the last advices and last encourgament. Let's go to the stage.

There they danced and sang, and the result was very nice. After the applause, we came back to the kindergarten, with the normal bus MPK. It was also funny to see the reaction of the people when they saw us, all in the bus.

Now we are waiting for the last result of the konkurs, but for us they already won, it was a good performance, gratulacje!
