Pirate Island from Inés Rosado on Vimeo.

Pirates acrostic!

Pirates sail across the sea

 Invading islands and ships

Riches fill their chests

Another pirate ship they want

Trust not a man with a peg

Even he wears an eye-patched

Skulls and crossbones everywhere

It's raining!

Hi you all! 

It's raining and maybe you don't know what to do at home. 

Don't worry!

 2nd graders are expert at this topic!  

They can tell you some activities to do on rainy days so you don't get bored:

• get a board game and play with family
• cook something
• draw a picture
• watch a home movie
• play with your pet
• go outside and dance in the rain (as the cloud in the video below)
• go to an indoor pool 
• Try to come up with your own ideas, why not?

Let me finish with a quote I love:

"Let the rain kiss you.  

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.  Let the rain sing you a lullaby".

And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Very young learners

This movie is part 1 of the the Sparkabilities Toddler 1. Sparkabilities is a group of DVDs and other media designed to entertain and develop essential learning skills: attention, recognition and memory.
