THE DIARY OF THE BABT WOMBAT

I have cosen this book because i think is a good way for work the days of the week, and also for work times in a day, like morning, afternoon and night.

In addition they can do a diary using the verbs that are more common, and they can draw pictures for do easier.

At the end of the week we can compare their activities during the week.

Also i think is a good book because the pictures are very expressive and the children usually don't know what is a wombat so is curious.

THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILAR

Activities after read the book:

• Feed, care and observation of the growing of silkworm.
• Classify the food in different groups ( healthy and unhealthy).
• Sort the days of the week (We can also use songs).
• Art activities.
• Put in the correct order the circle of life.
• Mural of healthy food.
• Find animals that they are similar to butterfly.

LISTENING ACTIVITY

PRE-LISTENING

The teachers asks some questions to the students about the pictures, she/he showed before. 
The students have to make predictions about it. The teachers asks some questions, for example:

What can you see in the picture?
Where are they?
Are they similar to people?
Why?

WHILE-LISTENING

The teachers gives to the students some pictures about each alien. Then the teacher tells them a story about when each one get into the bar, describing how they are (parts of the body, their colours...) The students have to put in order the pictures about the aliens depending on the order they arrived the bar.

POST-LISTENING

The students have to draw their own alien and then show to the rest of the children.

ZOG

ZOG

In my opinion Zog is a good apropiate for infants, the story it's a big long.

The vocabulary it isn't very complicate for children and they can see the pictures so it's easier.

The topic of the book are dragons and princes, that for the children it's very interesting.

I think that the most important thing is that they can feel the same of Zog, because he is a small dragon who is growing.

The pictures of the book very good because they aren't the "tipical" pictures of dragons, they are funny pictures.

Also i think it'll be better tell the story and show the pictures, don't read exactlly the book. This way can be more interesting and shorter.

La vaca que puso un huevo

Por fin se ha vuelto a editar este fantástico libro.
Cuando he sabido que estaba en una libreria de la ciudad no me lo he pensado y lo he adquirido. Desde que el año pasado una compañera nos lo presentó en clase he querido tenerlo, pero era imposible conseguirlo, estaba desaparecido.

El libro trata de "Maca" una vaca que se siente triste y vulgar entre las otras vacas, pero un día se levanta y...¡ha puesto un huevo! Maca está muy contenta, pero ¿qué pasará con el huevo?
Es una divertidisima historia que encanta a los niños, y que hay que contarlo con gracia y entusiasmo para que sea perfecto.

Al ver este libro no he podido evitar acordarme de un blog amigo, también interesados en el periodo infantil mommo.

Así que he tenido que hacerme con otro libro para el pequeño Mommo, que espero le guste mucho y lo disfrute.
