Kindergarten: Our Little Giuseppe Arcimboldos

3 Aug

Our theme for July was “All About Me” and here we discussed their body and how they take care of it.  They learned the food pyramid and the importance of eating healthy food such as fruits and vegetables.  In line with this topic, we discussed the famous Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldowho’s known to creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, books.  After we introduced the artist, we asked our students to make their own portrait using fruits and vegetables.  I’ll share with you photos of the Kindergarten Tamaraws and Tarsiers while they were doing it and their finished art works.

Kindergarten Yoga

3 Aug

I’ve been practicing yoga for about a year now.  I may not be doing it every single day, but I make sure that I practice at least once a week.  I really enjoy its benefits therefore, I shared my love for yoga to our Kindergarten students this year.

Last July, our theme was All About Myself so this includes the Body.  We have discussed the different ways on how they should take care of their body and one of which was exercising.  To incorporate this, we did yoga.  I found this video from YouTube by Cosmic Kids Yoga.  It has several episodes and the children really enjoyed it.  We did the Episode 1 – Squish the FishImage.

After the 15-minute video, some children came up to me and said that they loved it and they want to do it again.  I’m just so happy hearing that from them.
