The Four Seasons - 2

"Who scatters snowflakes? Who melts the ice?
Who spoils the weather? Who makes it nice?
Who grows the four-leaf clovers in June?
Who dims the daylight? Who lights the moon?

Four little field mice who live in the sky.
Four little field mice ... like you and I.
One is the Springmouse who turns on the showers.
Then comes the Summer who paints in the flowers.
The Fallmouse is next with walnuts and wheat.
And Winter is last ... with cold little feet.

Aren't we lucky the seasons are four?
Think of a year with one less ... or one more!"

English for...Dads?

Nils showing us that The Children's English Hour isn't just for kids!

Frederick

I like to read Leo Lionni's books to my groups. Because the author's charming children's books are well known world wide, most of the kids that come to English class at The Children's Art Workshop are already familiar with the stories. They really get a kick out of hearing books like Frederick and Swimmy read to them in English. I like the books for both their content - the stories encourage individuality, imagination and cooperation - and the creative projects they inspire me to create! Tune in for some exploration into English and fun activities with Leo Lionni and friends.

Swirly Planets

We worked hard this week, adding two new Super Simple Songs to our repertoire: "Open, Shut Them", which helps us learn some opposites, and "I See Something Blue", a fun run-around song that helps us learn our colors, from our friend Devon in Tokyo. These two songs are easy to learn and fun to sing - and help expand our vocabulary. Thanks Devon!

Because we worked so hard we were rewarded with a super fun new project - swirly planets!

don't laugh!

Toby has been attending The Children's English Hour since birth - and takes it very seriously!

Oh, Miró!

More results from our two-part lesson on Joan Miró.

Revel in Color

Sometimes it's nice to forgo heavily theme-oriented activities and get back to basics. The elements of art themselves are a source of wonder and delight. After our warm up songs and games, the kids drew balls in primary and secondary colors from a small bag. They then had to search for the matching surprise bag on the table and create a collage of color.

A Sweet Moment

I love children's books and always have a big tub of them for the kids to enjoy before and after class. Here, Valentina and Silke enjoy The Baby Einstein Company's "My First Book of Letters".

Meet Leonie

Here's Leonie, my fabulous assistant. After joining her mother and foster brother Shawn for the Tuesday afternoon Children's English Hour a few times, Leonie asked me if I needed a helper. After chatting with her for a few minutes I learned that she wants to attend a bilingual high school and needs to brush up her English. My suggestion: Leonie helps me with my courses on Thursdays and is only allowed to speak English with me and the families. A great exchange!

Art and His Art

I love the reaction that the book "Art" summons. No matter what their language level, kids just get a kick out of one of my favorite books by Patrick McDonnell.

 

I am especially taken with the author's support of organizations that dedicate their work to animal and environmental causes. If you're interested in purchasing a Patrick McDonnell book, visit his website store. Items sold exclusively on the site are made with organic materials and a tree is planted for every print sold. 

After enjoying a great giggle at Art's squiggles, we sat down to make some "splotches with blotches" ourselves!
