LEARNING TOGETHER - WORKING ENGLISH LESSON AT INFANTIL EDUCATION WITH THE HELP OF THEIR FAMILIES.

LEARNING TOGETHER, ACTIVITY 1. “Daily food.”

In our school, one of our main goal is to work healthy food in infantil education. We believe that healthy food must be worked with children as early as posibe so they are able to get used to the new flavours of each food and also to raise awareness among families of students who must take care how their children feed.

For this purpose we have designed a schedule in the school where we specified the food that students should bring each day. So, children review each afternoon the foods they should bring the next day in English with their families.

LEARNING TOGETHER, ACTIVITY 2. “Workshop on healthy eating”.

In this line of co-work with healthy foods, we elaborated together, with the help of the family and the cooks, vegetable salads, fruit salads and bread. Foods we choose are often those wich the children have most difficult in eating. Parents are responsible for bringing food and so we take further interaction with them. To generalize the new words, parents go with their children to the market at afternoons and play with the names of food that children already know.

LEARNING TOGETHER, ACTIVITY 3. “Cards which works standards habits”.

At our school we believe that working standards of behavior in early childhood education is critical. In this work, the coordination of the families are essential. For working with standards habits and make families participate, each month the students take home a card which has written inside the habit that we want to work with.

In addition, parents assess whether their child has done properly the tasks we have given them. If they done it successfully, they should color the happy face, if not the sad one.

This is a good opportunity to introduce some vocabulary words related to verbs. Children enjoy and are motivated doubly.
