THE GAME OF THE ROUND STONE (TEMALACACHTLE)

From Milpa Alta, Southern of Mexico City.

Players: Single or Multiplayer activity.

Elements: Pieces of tile (original format) or small rocks.

The purpose of the game is to junp, one by one, all the squares drawn like forming the traditional "avioncito" from Mexico. Several squares similar to the Taking turns, each player has to throw a rock from the starting line of the first square to the first line of the second square. After that, players have to jump by using only one leg. They will try to take out the rock from the square through one of the borderlines of the square. The most excitng and most difficult part of the game is that players cannot put down their leg unless they have thrown out the rock from the square.



Listening to the teacher and analyzing the circuit.


Everybody enjoyed and learned that Pre-Hispanic tradidtions such as this one have to continue from generation to generation. It's up to us to contiue with them. 


Pushing it to the limit while jumping! Athletic skills were a common fact that day! Kids stayed a long time playing "Temalacachtle".

KITCHEN CLASS LAST NOVEMBER


Everybody was excited about what would have been the recipe for that day. Mashed potates were learned to be prepared and it caused great excitment because several days earlier on Danie's birthday they tasted the  well-known mashed potatoes of KFC, something they liked very much.


Mashed Potatoes Recipe.


In the beginning, kids were wondering about what to do with a whole potato. Where to start? What to do?
Fortunately, Miss Brenda is an experienced cook, so they had increased their cooking skills.


Hactor, Angel, Daniee, Sofie and Saul listening to their teacher's instructions.


Leonardo and Julio were very interested while cutting the potatoes. Several days after the task they told me that they thought they were cutting yam beans instead of potatoes.


Daniee was extremely happy during her birthday! All children had great fun!

Rebe, Xime and Sofie show their happiness in order to support their very nice friend Daniee!

Some of the boys form the class just after having sung the classical "Happy Birthday" to Daniee.

Daniee's birthday:

Thank you Daniee because of having shared good day with of us at school.
Hope you've had a great day! KFC and cheese cake were excellent!

conclusiones

hola soy luz y en clase de español hicimos unas conclusiones, creo que sí hay un blog de español, pero no lo encontré así que lo pongo aquí:



CLIMAS, MERIDIANOS Y PARALELOS
Hay 24 tipos de meridianos y son las proyecciones que están en modo vertical. Otras proyecciones son los paralelos. En forma horizontal están los trópicos y el ecuador  y los círculos polares. También hay 3 tipos de clima: el cálido o tropical, que es del Trópico de Cáncer al Trópico de Capricornio, el templado, que es de las trópicos a los círculos polares y las zonas polares que es de los círculos polares a los polos.

DIVISIÓN POLÍTICA MUNDIAL
Observa tu tabla de localización de las ciudades capitales en ella localizaste algunas ciudades.
Políticamente el ser humano ha dividido al mundo en cinco continentes: América, Europa, Asia, África y Oceanía.
GEOGRAFÍA PAGS. 32 A 33

LATITUD, LONGITUD Y ALTITUD
La latitud es la distancia entre el Ecuador y el Paralelo que pasa por un punto cualquiera de la tierra desde el Ecuador con 0 grados hasta 90 grados en los polos.
Una vez que se ha señalado la latitud, es necesario anotar la longitud, que es la distancia que hay entre el Meridiano de Greewich y el Meridiano que pasa por un punto cualquiera.
Además de la latitud y la longitud, está la Altitud, la altitud es la distancia vertical medida en metros.

MOVIMIENTO DE ROTACIÓN Y TRASLACIÓN
Rotación: 
La tierra gira sobre su eje de Oeste a Este cada 24 horas.  Un mismo punto de la tierra  pasa nuevamente frente al sol.
Traslación:
El movimiento de traslación es el que realiza la tierra alrededor del sol y tarda 365 días y 6 horas en ejecutarlo.
Se les llama Equinoccios a los dos momentos del año en que el sol está justo frente al Ecuador.
Se les llama Solsticios a los dos momentos del año en los que existe una mayor diferencia entre la duración del día y de la noche.

INANIMATE ALICE "DEEP AND QUICK QUESTIONS" (RAPIDAS Y PROFUNDAS)

Please read CHAPTER 3  AND POST 3 QUICK QUESTIONS AND 3 DEEP QUESTIONS
http://www.inanimatealice.com/


You may read the last entry to remember what QUICK AND DEEP questions are!!!!


You may write in ENGLISH or SPANISH

INANIMATE ALICE "DEEP AND QUICK QUESTIONS" (RAPIDAS Y PROFUNDAS)

The Power of Question

The Power of Question involves two kind of questions: quick questions and deep questions.

* The quick questions are those which answers are found in the story or picture.
Example: What kind of clothes Alice was wearing when she went out from her house?
Answer: 1. Long underwear, thermal top, thick socks, etc.

* The deep questions are the ones which answers are found within ourselves. There is no correct answer for these questions because the answers involves personal experience and opinions and help us go beyond the story.

After reading Inanimate Alice Chapter 3 ( http://inanimatealice.com/episode2) I came up with two deep questions that I would like to share with you.

1. What would have happened if Alice wouldn't have been alone while her parents were out?
I think that Alice wouldn't have worried so much and she would have stayed home instead of risking herself by going out during the snowstorm.

2. What would have happened if Alice wouldn't have heard Brad's voice in her head during the snowstorm?
In my opinion, Alice wouldn't have been calm and she wouldn't have heard her parents coming back to help her.

As you can see, I'm answering according to my particular point of view. That's why we can find different answers to deep questions.

Now is your turn. Write two deep questions about the story and share your answers.

Enjoy this experience!!
