Welcome to our Blog
Hello my friends!!
We are students of the second level of Childhood Education. We study the cognitive, emotional, social and sexual development of children. Also, the autonomy, the habits and the routines. We organise activities for children, such as songs, stories, games,... in English and Spanish.
In this blog, we offer interactive resources in English to use with children. Furthermore, we will prepare some group dynamics and we will also deal with some interesting English speaking countries festivities and customs, such as Halloween, Christmas Holiday, Valentines Day, Easter and Father´s Day and Mother´s Day.
Thank you very much for visiting our blog.

It's that Time of the School Year Again ;-(
Yes, exams. I'm sorry.
Try to focus on what you'll get after so much effort and pain.
I happened to come across by pure chance with this presentation about EFFORT and what it takes to succeed.
Another cute presentation comes now. Will some cultural shifts in our fast changing world have an impact on our learning as educators? How can we start thinking differently about the learning process?

Erasmus 24/7 a documentary
Erasmus 24/7 is a documentary about the Erasmus programme, the biggest European mobility project for European University students. The meaning of 24_7 is quite simple: playing with the common use of the expression 24/7 we wanted to enclose, in a very short phrase, the essential structure of our story. In fact, our documentary will show 24 hypothetical hours of seven students, coming from seven different European nations, living their Erasmus experience in seven different universities around Europe.

A Time of Overwhelming Grief
Our hearts are broken
President Obama statement on the shooting in Newtown, CT
The Best Resources On Talking With Children About Tragedies is a collection of resources compiled by Larry Ferlazzo, an English and Social Studies teacher at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento.
In the 24 hours following the shooting, many wrote about how Americans have become used to these all-too-frequent tragedies and the cycle of debate and blame that will follow. “Nothing changes,” writesAdam Gopnik in The New Yorker. “It will happen again.” (The satirical newspaper The Onion also echoed this idea.)
In a Times Op-Ed piece, “We’ve Seen This Movie Before,”Roger Ebert writes:
Should this young man have been able to buy guns, ammunition and explosives? The gun lobby will say yes. And the endless gun control debate will begin again, and the lobbyists of the National Rifle Association will go to work, and the op-ed thinkers will have their usual thoughts, and the right wing will issue alarms, and nothing will change. And there will be another mass murder.
Do you agree? Will “nothing change?” Have we “seen this movie before”? What, in your opinion, could change this cycle? What do you think of Op-Ed columnist Gail Collins’s statement that, as with women’s suffrage in the early 1900’s and civil rights activism in the 1950’s, “nothing will change unless the people decide to do the leading”? How do you think that could happen?
Care or Fear is a very interesting blog post that reflects upon the tragedy in Newtown.

Angela Maiers also writes in this post about the shooting and how to help children deal with the shootings, tragedy, loss and death.
