Odmor

Zbog brojnih obaveza uzimam odmor od pisanja postova 2 - 3 tjedna. Koliko stignem, pratit ću druge blogove.

Due to the many obligations I'm taking a break from posting (2 to 3 weeks). I'll read other blogs when I'll have time.

kind over matter

Linkovi sada rade

Nisam niti primijetila da linkovi pod nazivom Blogovi koje volim (imate gumb na sidebaru) ne rade. Riješila sam problem i sad je sve ok.
Ispričavam se čitateljima.


I didn't notice that the links on My blog list (button -> left sidebar) are not working. I solved the problem and now, everything is OK.
I apologize to readers.

Europa

Neko vrijeme proveli smo učeći o Europi. Ovo je prvi post o aktivnostima koje su provedene u grupi.

We spent some time learning about Europe. This is the first post about the activities that are realized in my class.

Knjige i enciklopedije / Books and encyclopedias

Koristili smo slijedeće knjige - neke sam posudila u knjižnici, neke su nam posudili roditelji:

We used the following books - some I borrowed at the library, some parents lent us: 

Nađi par: Država i zastava / Matching activity: Country and flag

"Upoznaj Europu" je društvena igra koju sam kupila u Mülleru. Pretvorila sam ju u vježbicu traženja para - država i pripadajuća zastava. Sa stražnje strane kartica sam zaljepila zvjezdice (umjesto kontrolnih točaka) kako bi djeca sama mogla provjeriti ispravnost svog rada. Sve kartice sam plastificirala.

Na žalost, nema svih europskih zastava.

"Meet Europe" is a social game that I bought in Müller. I turned it into matching activity - country and flag. On the back of the cards, I glued little stars (instead of control points) so that children could check the correctness of their work themselves. I also laminated all the cards.

Unfortunately, some european flags missing.

Plakati (plakati imaju crvenu podlogu jer je to boja Europe u Montessori programu)

Posters (posters have a red background because it's the color of Europe in Montessori programe)

Italija (zastava, venecijanske maske, rimski brojevi)

Italy (flag, venetian masks, roman numbers)

Francuska (zastava, katedrala Notre Dame, Eiffelov toranj, pjesma Bratec Martin na hrvatskom i francuskom jeziku)

France (flag, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, the song Bratec Martin - Frère Jacques in Croatian and French) 

Eiffelov toranj od čačkalica i stiropora

Eiffel tower from toothpicks and styrofoam

Španjolska (zastava, korida, katedrala Sagrada Família u Barceloni)

Spain (flag, bullfight, the cathedral Sagrada Família in Barcelona)

Njemačka (zastava, dvorac Neuschwanstein, Schwarzwald torta, sat s kukavicom)

Germany (flag, the castle Neuschwanstein, Schwarzwald cake, Cuckoo clock) 

Sat s kukavicom

Cuckoo clock

Velika Britanija (zastava; najviše smo obrađivali Englesku - double decker autobus)

Great Britain (flag, most have dealt with England - double decker bus)

Nizozemska (zastava, vjetrenjača, tulipan, vodena školica - igra slična uobičajenoj školici)

Netherlands (flag, windmills, tulips, water hopscotch - plays similar like regular hopscotch)

Nizozemske klompe od plastelina

Dutch clogs - play doh

Grčka (zastava, zastava olimpijskih igara, Partenon)

Greece (flag, the flag of the Olympic games, the Parthenon)

Rusija (zastava, babuške, Fabergeova jaja, ilustracija ruske narodne priče Djed i repa)

Russia (Flag, matryoshka doll, Faberge eggs, an illustration of the Russian folk tale The Gigantic Turnip)

Geography / History (Children Grow, Children Explore, Children Learn)

Odlučila sam promijeniti izgled bloga. Uglavnom je sve gotovo, možda ću još dodati nekoliko sitnica. Najveća promjena su gumbi s linkovima umjesto dugačkih popisa koji su do sada bili na sidebaru.

   

Nadam se da je ovako preglednije.

~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to change the look of my blog. Basically that's it, I might add a few little things. The biggest change are the buttons with links on my sidebar instead of the long lists which have been on my sidebar.

I hope it's more clearly.

Sretan Uskrs! / Happy Easter!

SVIM ČITATELJIMA BLOGA ŽELIM SRETAN USKRS!

Grabljenje žlicom: male pisanice

Spooning: little Easter eggs

Predvježba za šivanje: pisanice

Lacing cards: Easter eggs

Labirint: jaje (PrintActivities.com - besplatan download) - djeca rade s flomasterom za pisanje po bijeloj ploči jer se on može ukloniti s plastificirane površine.

Labyrinth: egg (PrintActivities.com - free download) - children are working with whiteboard marker because it can be removed from plastic surface (using tissues).

Nastavi niz: gnijezdo s pisanicama (ovu aktivnost skinula sam ovdje, osmislila ju je Erica - Confessions of a Homeschooler)

Patterning: nest (I downloaded it here for free, Erica - Confessions of a Homeschooler - made it)

Složi po kronološkom slijedu: jaje 

Dijete pomiješa kartice koje zatim slaže po kronološkom redoslijedu. Na poleđini kartica su brojevi - kontrola pogreške.

Besplatan download.

Story sequence cards: egg

Child is mixing cards, and then putting them in right order. On the back of the cards are numbers - control of error.

Free download.

Nađi par: Slike proljeća (istu vježbu sam napravila za sva godišnja doba, kartice sam besplatno skinula kod Lori, Montessori For Everyone)

Spring matching cards: I did the same exercise for all seasons, I downloaded cards at Lori, Montessori for Everyone

Pisanje po crti, velika i mala tiskana slova (besplatan download sam pronašla kod Erin, Home Grown Hearts) 

Letter handwriting cards (free download at Erin, Home Grown Hearts)

Pridruži odgovarajući broj: pisanice. 

Besplatan download. Sarrah Sellers sam spominjala i u starim postovima jer sam nekoliko puta opisivala vježbe koje sam napravila pomoću njenih materijala. (Sama sam osmislila sličnu aktivnost koju sam opisala ovdje).

Starija djeca ne slažu trake sa zadacima po redu jer im je to suviše jednostavno.

Counting Easter eggs: free download.

I already mentioned Sarah Sellers in the older posts because I've described the exercises that I made of her materials. (I came up with very similar activity which I've described here) 

Older children do not putting the strips in the order because it is too easy for them.

Knjižica brojeva: zeko i...

Number booklet: bunny and...

...koka s pilićima

...hen with chicks

Knjižice brojeva djeca izrađuju sama. O toj aktivnosti sam pisala u starijim postovima.

Children are doing number booklets by themselves. I wrote in earlier posts about this activity.

Slikovnica Sanje Pilić "Znatiželjna koka" o koki koja je sa sela otišla u grad:

Childrens book "Curious chick" by Sanja Pilić about a chick which left the village and went to town.

Uskrsna grančica: plastična jaja obojena tušem u boji (jeste li znali da običaj ukrašavanja grane s pisanicama potječe iz Nizozemske?)

Easter branches: plastic eggs colored ink (did you know that the custom of decorating the branch with eggs originates from the Netherlands?)

Pokloni za roditelje: košarice od papirnatih čaša s pisanicama (ispuhana jaja obojena temperom u jednu boju, te prskana s različitim bojama po želji djeteta, također tempera). Ideju za ove košarice od papirnatih čaša sam pronašla ovdje (betz white ima prekrasne ideje na Flickru, pogledajte sve njene radove). Umjesto s flomasterima, čaše smo bojali temperama. Već sam mnogo puta na ovaj način ukrašavala jaja - moram priznati da gotovo sva djeca uživaju u toj aktivnosti.

Gifts for Parents: baskets made of paper cups with Easter eggs (blown egg painted with tempera in one color, and sprayed with different colors as desired child, also tempera). The idea for these baskets made of paper cups I found here (Betz White has a beautiful idea on Flickr, see all of her works). Instead of  marker pens, we used tempera. I have decorated eggs many times in this way, with children - I have to admit that almost all children enjoy that activity.
