If you are profe, surely you will sound the term STEM, or rather, abbreviations. STEM is an acronym for the English terms Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

This term was coined in the 90 por la National Science Foundation (NSF), and merely serves to group 4 large areas of knowledge in working scientists and engineers.

It related to this concept was developed a new way of teaching, together, Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology. This form of education was called "Education STEM".

Lately many are moms and dads who are asking me chips and templates to work at home the spelling of certain words in English.

You know that the methodology used in iKidz It is much more based on the game and interacting with the elements, that repetition, but it is true that sometimes it is necessary, especially at home, you to profit to work this way. Especially, because we talk about a fairly routine task that does not require specific pedagogical skills.

Today I leave 10 tabs so you can work the spelling at home with the kids. these tabs, above all, They are focused on kids in 5 years and 1 primary, because as you will see, I used lowercase letter linked. If your small of 4 years is motivated and has begun to familiarize themselves with tiny you may also be useful.

It is increasingly difficult to capture the attention of our students. I do not know if you happen to you but, sometimes, I have to juggle my students to get involved in my class and I pay attention.

One way to capture the attention of our students is with activities and games. These are often called warmers, or activities to "warm up" the class.

I use them quite, especially in my college classes. But these activities can be used with almost any age and, I assure, that shall come great, not only for "Charmed" to your students, but also to review and work concepts in a fun way.

I wont activities can be used both in your English class, as in a class of Spanish as a foreign language, or even in a language class.

I leave 10 Activities that "you calentéis" your class and you make that your students want unmissable 😉

If you are profe English insurance that one of the main problems that you encounter is to make your students speak English.

We usually teachers "burden" because we do not get our students to express themselves, and when they do often end up doing in their mother tongue. You must keep in mind that it is normal in the world. For them to use a language that is not yours is complicated, and how to do it when not motivated or appeals.

Therefore, in today's post I leave 6 activities to encourage speaking in class and get your students begin to loosen, even a little! 😉

In your email, Ade told me that I was not sure how to deal with class, and what resources to use with very young children. Therefore, although today's post is particularly aimed at her, I hope that, all that next year we enfrentéis a similar challenge to help you.

4 Games to learn English irregular verbs.

4 activities to learn irregular verbs in English

If your child has not had to learn the table of irregular verbs for school, I assure you will have to do so soon. I think it's one of the things I dislike most children, but it is so fundamental, they have no choice but to learn if they want to make proper use of language.

This week I start in iKidz intensive summer courses, as you know, in iKidz always we adapt to the needs of our students. Therefore, during this first half of the activities in which we focus is on learning verbs.
