San Valentine's Day


"Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love"


These are two of our crafts done in class both with  younger students and older ones. The result can be used as a bookmark and a reminder of this day.

Yoga for Kids

"Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious about who you are." 
Jason Crandell


When teaching young learners, one way of involving them in language recognition is also by making them aware of their bodies. I am using a sequence of animal and plant yoga postures, and I believe it is a wonderful resource to start the class or warm up, and it can be expanded further on. 



"The cards can support the development of focus and attention by encouraging the child's awareness of their body and helping them to regulate their emotions."-Dr. Jedda Graham.
