Summer English Week 3 - Brown Bears and Goldfish

Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See is one of my favorite books to read with children. It's all about animals and colors, and a few strangely colored animals! Have you ever seen a blue horse? Or a purple cat? No? It's easy - just use your imagination!

We sang Bubble Pop! which is an interactive song all about sea creatures, as well as the Energy Song and Open, Shut Them.


I know everyone has seen a goldfish, so we made some out of bright orange red and yellow handprints!





As always, the children were encouraged to write their names on their artwork, or at least their first initial!


The results were wonderful!




We finished up with our counting march with rhythmic instruments and a goldfish stamp:


"What is it?"
"It's a goldfish."
"What color is it?"
"It's orange. It's an orange goldfish."

"May I have another one please?"
"Yes, you may!"

This week's vocabulary: bear, goldfish, cat, horse, wolf, sheep, children, teacher, jellyfish, octopus, fish, whale, crab, dolphin, blue, yellow, red, green, purple, orange, march, loud, quiet, numbers one to twenty, tambourine, wash board, cymbals, block, bells, float, roll, swim, snap, jump and wiggle!

Musical Accompaniment: Claude Bolling's Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano

Loud & Quiet

Opposites are a great way to build vocabulary. The song "Open, Shut Them" has been a longtime favorite at the Children's Art Workshop, presenting all kinds of opposites to sing about. Today we focused specifically on volume: loud and quiet. We warmed up with The Friendship Song, The Energy Song, Put Your Bells On Your Toes and Open, Shut Them. Then we read Leslie Patricelli's charming "QuietLOUD" that explores situations and activities that are either quiet or LOUD.


Then, I asked the children if painting was a quiet or a LOUD activity. "Quiet," of course. "But I think loud painting sounds like fun! I want to paint LOUDLY. Do you want to paint LOUDLY too?" "YES!"

But how can painting be LOUD? With marbles of course! Marble painting is a fun way of creating bright abstract pictures and to observe primary colors mixing to make secondary colors. It is also great for eye-hand coordination.









Then we enjoyed Magic Bubbles, the Balloon Game, our goodbye song, and an airplane stamp, because airplanes are LOUD! "What is it?" "It's an AIRPLANE!"





Musical accompaniment: Various early works from Thelonious Monk

This week's vocabulary: LOUD, quiet, marble, red, blue, yellow, box, spoon, painting, airplane

Blue Strawberries

The summer round of the Children's English Hour started off with an exploration into unusual fruit. But first we sang some of our favorite songs, including the Energy song to get us warmed up and Bells on Your Toes. Then we read Richard Scarry's 1963 charmer I am a Bunny.


Everyone knows strawberries are red. And sometimes a little bit green or yellow, but just a little bit, and not all the time. But are strawberries blue? "No!" insisted the kids. Perplexed, I told them I had seen a blue strawberry, and a purple one, and an orange one, for that matter. "No! Strawberries are red!" echoed around the room. So I needed to show the kids a blue strawberry so that they would believe me.

First, the children were presented with bowls of a brightly colored granular material. "What is it?" I asked. The kids shrugged. "Taste it!" I suggested. Timid fingers dipped into the colorful stiff, then cautiously touched the tips of tongues. Eyebrows raised and smiles spread. "What is it? Is is sugar?" "Yes!" Then I uncovered a bowl of perfectly normal red strawberries (with a little bit of yellow and a little bit of green on them, of course). I took a nice big juicy one and dipped it into the blue sugar. Violá: a blue strawberry! Each child was encouraged to try all the different colors to see if the strawberries tasted the same when they changed colors. Yummy, juicy fun!





Then we practiced counting to twenty loudly and quietly, marching in a circle and rapping and clanging little instruments. We finished up with magic bubbles, our goodbye song and an orange bunny stamp.



Musical accompaniment for our creative project: Claude Bolling's incomparable Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano

Todays vocabulary: bunny, butterfly, bird, frog, red, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, strawberry, sugar, taste, sweet

The Creative Summer English Workshop 2008

The Creative Summer English Workshop was a hit! Creative English-language maven Rebecca Schulz led an imaginative group of children through an English odyssey. Using logic, humor, and imagination, the kids decided to write and create a theater piece - and they did it all in English. The result was a humorous production involving a witch, a king, a ghost, a fairy and a nymph, and a happy ending, of course!

English only please!
