Proverbs to reflect

Publicat el 7 de maig de 2017 per ALBA CERA COSTA

Another way to work the Educational Socioemotional learning is through the reflection. To work on this, all the corridors in the school are full of sentences and proverbs to make children think. Some of them are to motivate, others to improve children’s empathy, and others to educate towards tolerance and peace culture. During a tutor time lesson, the class and its tutor walk around the school stopping at each proverb and discussing about it. Some of the proverbs are:

“Do not judge someone until you will have walked 1000 miles on the same shoes” Dhyani Yahwoo

“The only race I know is the human one” Albert Einstein

“A person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new” Albert Einstein

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” – Albert Einstein

“Everyone makes mistakes. That is why they put erasers on pencils”  Carl Carlson-The Simpsons.

“ We know what we are, but know not what we may be”  William Shakespeare.

“ It is not important to know how to do it, but to know that it is possible.” La Granja

How do I feel today? All the schools in the project.

Publicat el 21 d'abril de 2017 per ALBA CERA COSTA

This is one cross-curricular activity in our project. The objectives are:

  • To help children to recognize their emotions.
  • To give tools for the emotion awareness and how they can change, emotions are not static.
  • To give information to the teachers about children’s mood, their reasons and to help them when it would be needed.

The activity starts watching videos related to the topic or explaining tales that show the emotions. Here you are some examples:

  • Video:

  • The book “The colour monster” by Anna Llenas:
  • thecolourmonster

Every time children identify the emotion in the tale or the video, they will describe own situations they feel the same. In that way, there will be a dialogue between pupils each other and teachers.

Then, the teacher shows the emotions to be worked. Elder pupils can work more emotions.

Just to start:

Joy                                            Sadness

Alegriatristesa

Anger                                           Fear

The younger children will have a corner in the class with the faces and they will take the face they want to put on the table.

The elder ones have their own faces which could be made by themselves. In a corner of the table, they have a space to put the face that represents the emotion they feel in that moment. They do that when they arrive in the morning but they can change face if their moods change during the day.

It is a very useful activity for the students and for the teachers. Taking a quick look at the children tables, teachers can see how they feel. In addition, they can also see if a student feels “sad,” “angry” or “scared” for too long and find out why the student feels in that way and act according to what is needed.
