W!N Spanish Teaching Resources at Kinder Bilingue

Juliana at Kinder Bilingue is having an awesome GIVEAWAY of  SPANISH Teaching Resources.

Spanish Teaching Resources

Juliana's Giveaway starts on March 24 and ends on March 30!


My donation to Juliana's Giveaway is my Spanish Cardinal Direction Posters (North, South, East, West). Originally these posters were only in English but one of my lovely customers at my TpT store requested that I also make them in Spanish.  The set she wanted was the one with the Jungle-Zebra Theme which seems to be very popular in a lot of elementary classrooms. I also now have the Cardinal Directions in Spanish in several different colors with a polka dot border.



You can participate in Juliana's Giveaway right here!

Have Fun on Pi Day - March 14

Pi Day (March 14 - 3/14) is a fun day devoted to the celebration of the circle and its circumference divided by its diameter!

It is a day to have lots of math fun. With very young children it's a day to concentrate on circles (drawing, coloring, comparing, measuring, etc.).

You could make fun shape people with the kids on PI DAY! Start with the circle! Click on the picture below to get directions for this shape person made with construction paper.




Circle Shape Person

With older children, have fun with measuring the circumference of all different sizes of circles or cylinders (use string or yarn) and then measuring the diameter of these same circles. For each circle divide its circumference by its diameter and you should get a number very close to Pi (3.14). For children not able to divide yet, use calculators!

Follow up with a fun pie treat if possible!
