Children, Children, What Do You See?
I am an avid fan of Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle who are the people behind the best selling children's literature Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and I had been using this book since I started teaching. During the last month of school, I asked the children to review what we intended to do as part of our project on the city which was a book. Instead of publishing the pages, we decided to give it a twist by making story boards for the Kamishibai stage I borrowed from a Japanese family.
Here is the finished product, sans the Kamishibai stage.

The children are now gone for summer break and will be attending kindergarten at a nearby school. getting them ready for that is a big task like how I train them to execute their creativity in many ways.
Some parents are actually reading these comments, though I translate them in English. So thanks again.
So hinay hinay lang sa revelations or comments, baka may mabuking ang mga parents, ha,ha,ha. Thanks sa pagdalaw.
Pareho kayo ni Josh, sa tingin ko naman graduate na kayo sa ganyang interpretations. I hope to see your drawings NOW! Bossy lang.
Gawa nila yung sentences so sila sila din mismo ang nag rerecite without prompts. Sinasabihan ko ngang, lower down your voices, sumisigaw kasi. Thanks!
artists disguised as kids, painting with glee!
I see my brother writing back to me.
(where's the e-mail message you promised?)
"I see an informative post where kids can learn with glee!"
Nice one Teacher Jonathan :)
I see Balut smiling at me!
Many thanks!
