Portuguese Verbs/Verbos em Portugues

I found this great resource in the internet. It is a Pdf file full of drawings of Portuguese verbs. They have all kinds of verbs... Unfortunately at the time I did not think of writing down the web address so I cannot give credit (I have the file so I can email to whoever wants it--just leave a comment asking for it). If you know where it is from, please let me know and I will post a link and/or give credit. I printed everything on cardboard, cut and laminated. It turned out great. See picture below:

A few tips: to save money print every other sheet on regular paper. Then when you laminate put two cards (a cardboard and a regular paper) against each other. This will save you money, time and it the "book" will be smaller than mine. I am embarrassed to say I only thought about this trick halfway through my laminating ....:(

 The verb "pegar" is mispelled. So I fixed it and no problem..I have around 90 of verbs for my son to practice! And for my husband to learn portuguese! Just to give you a taste here are some of the verbs: surfar, nadar, pagar, comprar, fritar, perguntar, comer, tomar, derrubar, brigar.

Escolinha- tema Carnaval

This past week was Carnival in Brazil. So, in our preeschool we did a Carnival theme.
Very wisely, Monica started the teaching by writing our schedule in the board. Therefore, counting to seven in Portuguese, writing, and drawing was presented to the children.

We also sang our regular songs (more on this at a later post). Then we danced to some carnival/samba songs. The children had a blast dancing!

A puppet show was next. We watched as the puppets talked about carnival and their costumes. Look at how creative the puppets were!

Then the puppets dressed as a pirate and a princess. Isn't that what every little boy and girl want to be? I still think I want to be a princess some day (don't tell anyone!).

After fun with puppets it was craft time. They got to color a princess and a pirate. Play time and yummy food followed that. Boy, are we tired....
