Reading, reflection, and words

por Leave a Comment

We share with you a bit about the activity that the little ones did during the library afternoon a few weeks ago.

We all read together the book “Palabras Semillas (Seed Words)” by Magela Demarco and Caru Grossi. A story of words and images that invites us to rethink the value and impact that the words we use have on people.

Can words sadden another person even if it wasn’t our intention? Can words also heal and “plant” beautiful feelings?

Finally, the children chose different phrases and arranged them into different categories: Words of affection, coexistence, care, hurtful words, and… SEED WORDS

We invite you to reflect on what words we sometimes choose to connect with each other in our daily lives, engaging in an activity of questions aimed at empathy in different situations and scenarios.

They had a lot of fun, and we planted many seed words to use throughout our meetings!

First Week at the Library

por Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, we resumed activities with our kids, and here’s what we did!

In the library workshop, our little ones decorated the library cards to keep track of all the books they borrow throughout the year.

As their first activity, the children listened to the story of a girl who, after receiving a box of colors as a gift, realizes the number of worlds she can create through painting and drawing (“Julieta y su caja de colores (Julieta and her box of colours” by Pellicer López). Based on this story, we provided all kinds of materials for the children to create their own “book loan cards.”

With these ID cards, the children can borrow a book to take home. This helps them take care of the materials, be responsible for returning the book they borrow, and above all, share a moment of reading and new stories with their families.

Getting creative at the Library

In our library workshop, we love to read, share, and imagine stories!

This time, we read the adventures of Winnie the Witch’s books and her cat Wilbur. Just like her, we dared to create and design our own robot, inventing different qualities and imagining them coming true with the spell of our witch friend!

Today we want to show you our activity called PEQUECHEF!

We put together our own snacks as a group, following a recipe and putting lots of love into it.

Together, we cook, work as a team, and create beautiful decorations with enthusiasm and joy. Each team received special recognition for their effort.

After tidying up and cleaning our hands, we enjoy our delicious snack!

Movie Evenings

Lights, Camera, Action!

Once every month, we set up a movie day for our little ones in our spaces.

We have popcorn for snacks, get comfortable with cushions and foam flooring, and all watch a movie together, enjoying it as if we were in a movie theater!

In each movie, we discover a story that excites us, teaches us, makes us laugh, and amazes us a lot.

A Story of Shadows

We want to show you a lovely activity we did in the library space with our little ones:

After reading a story about “people’s shadows,” we thought… what shape would our shadow take if it could change based on who we are, what we love, or what our soul looks like.

This were the results!
