¡Los mejores recursos para el Día del Trabajador y la Trabajadora! 🧑‍🏫 

Use this cards as a fun game! Kids love to talk about fun facts about animals!
When I used them, I did it as a closure of my class. We were all sitting in circle, and some students took a card and read it. If they knew the answer, they said it, if not, we had a conversation about it. We looked for information, pictures and videos! They loved it!

This cards were done with my friend Carmen Ortúzar.

CN03 OA05: Explain the importance of using resources in a responsible way, purposing actions to reuse, reduce and recycle.

This is NOT an assessed activity. It is a "quiz" like the ones you find in social media or magazines, on which you get a score according to the answers you give. In this case, the score they get will tell students how conscious they are about environmental care, and it will encourage them to think about concrete actions they can take to make our planet a better place to live. 
At the end, the idea is for them to make a reflection and get committed with environmental care. Last year, it was used in 3rd grade, and students really liked it. They came up with really good reflections.

This is a Power Point about the environment, the elements that you can find on it and how we can take care/destroy it with our actions.

To build the part about actions to take care of the environment, I used some pictures that I found on Nelson International Science Book Student Book 2 by Anthony Russell.

It hope it's useful!!!!

This is a short activity about different actions that we can make in order to take care of the enviroment.
At the end of the examples, the idea is to ask them if they know any other action that could help to take care of the environment. Then, there is a True of False activity to complete.
It is very important that students understand and see how they can help with little and ordinary actions, which can make a big change and difference.

Objective: Understand important concepts from the unit and become familiar with the vocabulary.

The idea is to give this glossary to students at the beginning of the unit, read it with them and explain some concepts. Also, as you move forward with the content, you cover the words from the glossary again. 

CN02 OA11: Describe the water cycle in nature, recognizing water as a valuable resource and purposing actions they can take to protect water.

This worksheet is useful for students to do a "round up" of everything they learnt during the unit, about the water cycle and its stages. It is also useful for students to reflect and purpose concrete actions they could take to save water. 

CN03 OA04: Describe the importance of plants for living things, human beings and for the environment (such as medicine, food, oxygen, ornaments, among others) purposing and communicating possible actions to protect them.

This resource can be used either as a formative or summative assessment. It is to be done once students have discussed and studied how plants contribute to our lives, and why it is important to protect them. 
There are content questions and also reflection or "action taking" questions. 

Objective: Understand the importance of bees for the ecosystems.

Students watch "The Bee Movie", which can be found in Netflix. They can watch it during Science class and discuss about it while watching, or they can watch it at home (as homework) and discuss about it the next class. It depends on the teacher.

The idea of this activity is for students to develop critical thinking by reflecting and discussing about the environmental function of bees. After watching the movie and discussing as a class, students answer this assessment to show their understanding about the importance of bees as pollinators, and purpose actions to protect them. There are only open questions, because the idea is for children to reflect, think further and express their ideas in a coherent way.

Estimados colegas,

El recurso adjunto es una presentaciónde Power Point que les puede ayudar a guiar una clase basada en First Conditional, haciendo una antesala al uso de Will & Won't, luego una explicación del uso del First Conditional, además adjunto a la presentación se encuentra anexado un juego con preguntas y situaciones que usan como estructura gramatical el First Conditional, de esta forma los estudiantes refuerzan y practican lo aprendido. Esta clase está basada en el currículo nacional de Chile, para 8° básico en la unidad 4: Future matters.

Espero les sea útil,


Saludos,
Noemiss!

This test measures knowledge of personal pronouns and verbs. Students will need to identify the pronouns corresponding to each image, as well as the verbs. They should complete the assessment silently and respect their classmates to create a conducive environment.
