The Children's English Hour - Week Five

It was Earth Day on Tuesday, so this week focused on nature. I created a special new song, based on the wonderful "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands". I needed props for the song so I made a "world" out of felt and filled it with pictures of endangered species and environments - the kids learned about "animals and places that need our help". We passed the "world" around in a circle and as each child pulled out a picture we sang, for example, "He's got the coral reefs in his hands" or "she's got the whales and the dolphins in her hands".


Because the weather has finally decided to be warm, breezy and sunny, and because of earth day, I decided it would be fun to make a toy to honor wind power. We made pinwheels!










Happy Earth Day everyone!
