Here I you present to my companions with whom I did a project of not formal Education that was the whole success.

Easter

Easter is an important Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are many different customs for celebrating Easter around the world, but the Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday) and the Monday after are given as a bank holiday in the UK.

Early celebrations included the painting of eggs, which represented Jesus' empty tomb. Now we give Easter eggs - often chocolate - to friends and family, and have Easter egg hunts for eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.

Easter is not a fixed holiday and the date varies between 22nd March and 25th April. Easter Sunday will next be celebrated on 5th April 2015.

Some activities for children of all ages as:

- Easter Egg Designer

- Easter Egg Hop

- Easter Basket Maker

- Dune Buggy

With the technique of plastic expression, stamping, you can decorate an egg.

With this template you can paint different eggs to your liking.

The seasons of the year.

The four seasons — winter, spring, summer, autumn — can vary significantly in characteristics, and can prompt changes in the world around them.

We work the seasons of the year at a theater where children from the E. I. El Espinillo came to see. This is the scenario, and here there are some songs:

Winter Song
Spring Song
Summer Song
Autumn Song

Here a gift that made us children.

Storytelling.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar uses distinctive collage illustrations, 'eaten' holes in the pages and simple text with educational themes – counting, the days of the week, types of food, and a butterfly's life stages.

The Three Little Pigs

It is a fable/fairy tale featuring anthropomorphic pigs who build three houses of different materials. A big bad wolf is able to blow down the first two pigs' houses, made of straw and wood respectively, but is unable to destroy the third pig's house, made of bricks.

The Three Little Pigs was included in The Nursery Rhymes of England (London and New York, c.1886), by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps. The story in its arguably best-known form appeared in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs, first published in 1890 and crediting Halliwell as his source.The story begins with the title characters being sent out into the world by their mother, to "seek out their fortune". The first little pig builds a house ofstraw, but a wolf blows it down and eats him. The second pig builds a house of furze sticks, which the wolf also blows down and eats him. Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases, namely:

"Little pig, little fatty, let me come in.."
"No, no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin."
"Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in.

The power of the smile

The power of the smile

Throughout the day we have many habits (or i hope so), such as wash our teeth, shower, wash your face, throw cream, comb, breakfast something healthy and balanced smile… will need to be one of those habits because it is very healthy.

"If you think that your smile is worth nothing, gives the,
 because no one has more need of a smile like who don't smile."

The smile is the light of our face, because we are going to open many doors, will allow us to better connect with a person, we are going to cause a better impression and people are going to show more willingness to interact with us.

How To Motivate Childrend?

Newborn infants are born with a tremendous amount of intrinsic motivation. This motivation is aimed toward having some visible effect on the environment. When infants can actually see the results of their actions as a reward, they are motivated to continue those actions. These attempts toward control are limited within the young child, and  include crying, vocalizations, facial expressions and small body movements. Toys that change or make sound as the child moves them are therefore strong motivators.

As infants grow and continue to mature (9-24 months), more voluntary, purposeful movements are possible. This gives them more control of their environment. This wider range of control allows children to feel that they are successful. Success leads to higher self-esteem and feelings of self-worth, which leads to strengthened motivation. As children continue to develop during this time period, they are better able to make decisions and plan what to do to gain control of things around them. They are beginning to set their own goals for activities. This success is not based upon adult standards, but totally upon the child's ability to accomplish the goals that he has set out for himself.

By two years of age, children are developing the ability to execute a sequence of events in order to achieve a goal. They also have an appreciation for standards and begin to evaluate their efforts. By three years of age, children become interested in doing things well, as opposed to just doing them. They have an idea of various levels of competency in performance and judge their success by their own internal standards. Therefore they have much less need for adult feedback about the quality of their efforts.

Preschoolers (age 3-5 years) are beginning to be more involved with verbal problem solving skills. They direct their own learning through speech and use vocal communication to direct their own behavior to solve problems. Young children are often heard talking themselves through a series of actions that lead to the solution of a problem. As children get older, this "talking out loud" will become an internal monologue. This newly developing ability to problem solve is the basis for motivation at this stage. Having the self confidence to know that one can solve a problem motivates the learner to accept other new and challenging situations, which in turn lead to greater learning.

5 Ways to Motivate Your Child

1. Extra Free Time
We have about 90 minutes of free time every day, but occasionally if I need a reward I will give them 30 minutes of extra free time.

2. Rewards Jar
I have a jar filled with index cards of prize ideas. The prizes are anything from “an extra dessert” to “15 minutes of dancing with Mom”

3. Special Toys
My boys love those building bricks that are so popular. So I keep a small stock of them in a box in my closet and they can earn an hour of playing with them.

4. Hero Day
Famous athletes, authors, heroes, anything your family loves….tell them that if they do really well in school Monday through Thursday then on Friday the whole family will dress up like those characters….including you. 

5. Candy
Yes, I said it, we use sugar to motivate our children. We don’t eat much candy around here. So when I found a vintage candy dispenser at the flea market I knew it was just the perfect thing to motivate the kids to do their schoolwork.

                                    A great way to motivate children to try their best.

LACRIME DI GIULIETTA - Matteo Negrin

Beautiful video time-lapse film based on the song Lacrime di Giulietta (Tears of Juliet) the composer Matteo Negrín, who speaks to us about the contrast of the music of nature, the noise of the cities… and the possibility of coexistence of both worlds.
