March and April


One of the things children learn about in the kindergarten is nature and all of its wonders. As we all know, the best way to get to know nature is to get out there and see it! The park in the proximity of our kindergarten is home to very important small creatures we call - frogs. As much as some people (me) don't really appreciate the sight of them, kids LOVE them. For our little explorers, the frogs are a real marvel. 

In March, I went with Pani Marzena and group number 7 to visit our slimy little friends. The kids barely resisted the urge to touch them, but they enjoyed observing them just the same.





In April, I briefly took on the role of a teacher! With the help of a very short PowerPoint presentation, I introduced the kids to my small country, Croatia :) Using pictures, I introduces the kids to the fact that not many people live in my country - the pictures, however, featured only five people, which led the class to the conclusion that, with me being in Poland, only four were left in Croatia.

I showed them my hometown, and the natural wonders of my country, and we concluded the presentation by trying to guess a few of my favorite things, such as colors, dinosaurs or Disney princesses - of course, I also found out what the kids thought of my choices ;)

Five little ducks

Since Pani Marzena considers English a very important part of the children's education, she always tries to think of new ways she can broaden their vocabulary. This time, group 7 was introduced to a nursery rhyme called Five Little Ducks. It's a simple song that tells a story of a mother duck losing her baby ducks, but eventually finding all of them safe and sound, swimming behind far away hills :)

To help the class better understand what the song is about, Pani Marzena asked me to make models of the ducks - as soon as I finished, she was ready to present them to the kids!




Here's the text of the song, which the children are experts in by now :)

Five little ducks

FIVE little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mamma duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
But only FOUR little ducks came back.

FOUR little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mamma duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
But only THREE little ducks came back.

THREE little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mamma duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
But only TWO little ducks came back.

TWO little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mamma duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
But only ONE little duck came back.

ONE little duck went swimming one day,
Over the hill and far away.
Mamma duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack!"
And all her five little ducks came back.

Months of celebrations

Grandparents´s day

We start the celebrations with the grandparenst´s day. It was a great day full of emotions. The children practiced dances and songs for many days with the help of Pani Dorota, Pani Marysia and Pani Aida.

That was the day in class number 2:







And the other important celebration in the Kindergarten:

Carnival

It was a really funny day, all the children was with costumes and we were dancing, playing and laughing a lot. :)
Of course, Pani Matea and Pani Aida also were dressed up!
