Europa I / Europe I

O aktivnostima vezanim uz temu Europa sam pisala davno, u jednom starom postu. U ovom postu ću opisati koje smo još aktivnosti proveli u vrtiću, učeći o našem kontinentu - Europi.
~
I wrote about the activities related to the topic of Europe, in an old post, long ago. In this post, I will describe the activities that we have done in the kindergarten, learning about our continent - Europe. 


Zastave / Flags:
Pridruživanje zastave pripadajućoj europskoj državi iz puzzla Europe (za ovu vježbu sam pripremila i nazive Europskih država koje ne možete vidjeti na fotografijama, ali ih besplatno možete skinuti u mojim Scribd dokumentima):
~
Joining the flag to the European country from the puzzle map of Europe (for this exercise, I prepared the labels with names of European countries that you can not see the photos, but you can download them for free at my Scribd documents - only in Croatian language)



Djeci sam ponudila i ploče s "pikicama" ili "čavlićima" koje sam preuzela iz redovnog programa. Ovu igračku za razvoj fine motorike sam pretvorila u Montessori pribor. Svaku boju sam stavila u posebnu posudu i zajedno s pločom za slaganje stavila na pladanj. Taj pribor nam služi isključivo za slaganje zastava. Djeca ga  o b o ž a v a j u :-)
~
I offered to children mosaic peg board which I took from the regular kindergarten classroom. This toy is great for developing fine motor skills and I've turned it into a Montessori material. I placed pegs (every color in a separate box) and board on a tray. We use this material solely for creating the flag. Kids  l o v e  this activity :-) They even created flags that doesn't exist in the real world and came up with the names of the countries. 






Puzzle: Europske države / Puzzle map of Europe
Budući da je mlađoj djeci teško složiti puzzle s europskim državama, odlučila sam napraviti kontrolnu kartu: fotografirala sam puzzle i isprintala. Plastificirala sam zbog izdržljivosti.
~
Since younger children find it difficult to work with puzzle map of European countries (soooo many countries), I decided to make a control chart: I photographed the puzzle and printed it. I laminated it for endurance. 

Djeca vole opcrtavati države na papiru.
~
Children also love drawing an outline of European countries on paper.



Suradnja s roditeljima / Cooperation with parents:
Roditelji su nam donosili mnoge predmete, suvenire i časopise pa su djeca mogla zorno vidjeti karakteristične predmete za razne Europske države.
~
Parents have brought us many things, souvenirs and magazines, so the children could clearly see the specific items from various European countries. 

Kastanjete su nam posudili roditelji koji su bili u Španjolskoj.
~
Parents who were in Spain lent us castanets.

Tulipane smo dobili kad smo učili o Nizozemskoj.
~
When we learned about the Netherlands, the parents have donated tulips. 


Kartice / 3 Part Cards:
Izradila sam kartice sa poznatim građevinama iz Europe,...
~
I made cards with famous buildings in Europe,...



..., kartice s hranom karakterističnom za pojedine europske države...
~
..., cards with food typical of some European countries... 



...i kartice sa životinjama Europe:
~
...and cards with European animals:




Glazba / Music:
Do sad smo obilježili mnoge obljetnice raznih europskih glazbenika. Čitajući blog Counting Coconuts, dobila sam ideju da sliku svakog glazbenika stavim u okvir. Okvire s portretom glazbenika i s njegovim imenom i potpisom stavljam uz kazetofon. Djeca tako uočavaju izgled i lakše povezuju glazbenika s djelom koje slušamo. Kao primjer fotografirala sam Mozarta i Vivaldija:
~
Until now, we celebrated many anniversaries of various European musicians. While I was reading Counting Coconuts (one of my favorite blogs), I got the idea to put a picture of each musician in the frame. Frame with a portrait of musician and his name and signature we put next to the CD player. Children also perceive the look and it is easier to connect the musician with the music that we listen. As an example, I photographed Mozart and Vivaldi:



Knjige / Books:
Kada smo učili o Hrvatskoj, čitali smo poetske tekstove Zvonimira Baloga iz zbirke Veseli zemljopis:
~
When we learned about Croatia, we read poetic texts from the collection of Zvonimir Balog, Veseli zemljopis (Happy geography):

Upoznali smo europske gradove:
~
We learned about European cities:

Fauna Europe je stara knjiga ali ima vrlo dobro razrađenu podjelu životinja:
~
Fauna of Europe is an old book but has very well described the animal kingdom:

Koristili smo i turističke vodiče / Tourist guides:

Ruske narodne priče sam dobila za rođendanski poklon dok sam bila klinka, a za vrijeme učenja o Rusiji sam ju donijela u vrtić:
~
Russian folk tales I've got for a birthday gift when I was a kid, and while learning about Russia, I brought this book in kindergarten:

Za vrijeme posjeta knjižnici djeca su odabrala knjigu s bajkama braće Grimm.
~
During our visit to the library the children chose a book with the fairy tales of brothers Grimm.

Pročitali smo bajku o Matovilki, a djeca su nacrtala crteže od kojih smo napravili slikovnicu. Kad su djeca prepričavala priču, bilježila sam tekst koji sam pisala ispod odgovarajućih crteža.
~
When we read a fairy tale about Rapunzel, children were drawing, so we made a picture book. When the children retold the story, I noted down the text that I wrote under their drawings.

  4. Hi Sheila, I'm glad you like board and pegs activity :-)
    I came up with the idea a year ago, all by myself, but until now I have not written about it.
    I get the pegs from my old classroom (it was not a Montessori classroom - I worked in the regular program then).



    Thanks Ewa :-)

  18. Vivaldija i Hana voli,baš ću joj isprintat par slika tih skladatelja koje slušamo,dobra ideja.
    I još bih izdvojila slikovnicu! Kak Hana ne voli crtati,ovo bi mogao biti dobar način da ju potaknem da oslika svoje omiljene priče.Hvala za ideje,super teta!
