Merry Christmas, big hungry bear
這是繼The Big Hungry Bear(誰要吃草莓)作繪者Don and Audrey Wood(唐和奧黛莉.伍德)又一生動有趣的大作 ~真是迫不急待想要
分享給同學們~
星期二介紹給幼稚園中大班,星期三介紹給405的同學們,我發現大家都被書中精美的圖畫給完全吸引了!!!
專心,認真的聽Ivy輕輕的將故事讀給大家聽,Ivy特別配合
做了許多音效表現(例如,嘆息聲,緊張的聲音....)還把小朋友
都嚇了一跳呢...哈哈
今天的安排:
1. 先是通關密語 (Ivy一進教室,大家一股腦的問...
What is today's passwords? (那是Ivy利用Hello world 的打招呼語)
Q: salom是那國的招呼語? A: 希伯來語,現今為以色列語,,,,,
有一位同學答對了~ Bingo~
2. 說說Christmas 相關的事物 ~ 當然也要讓同學們自己講,同學發表了
Rein Deer, Christmas tree, stars, gifts,jingle bells, Santa ~ 不錯耶
3. 演奏今天的故事
4.Christmas song sharing
介紹Rebecca 的網頁,連結English sons of Santa Claus is coming to town.
The end~

Why are mistletoe and holly associated with Christmas?
(摘錄自網路文章)
Mistletoe has always been a major decoration at Christmas, and has given rise to a ‘kiss under the mistletoe.’ The plant has a long history of pagan use, and this caused the church to ban the use of mistletoe.
In exchange, the church called for the use of holly. Although the red berries are thought of as traditional Christmas colors, few people know why. The sharp leaves of holly were once thought to represent the thorns of the crown of Christ, whilst the red berries were his blood.
Why do people kiss under the mistletoe at Christmas?
People who meet under the mistletoe at Christmas are supposed to kiss. The origins of this romantic slant to mistletoe could stem from the Scandinavian goddess of love, who herself is strongly associated with mistletoe.
Mistletoe gives rise to all sorts of rumors and mischief, and is a favorite at office parties and other festive occasions.
Why do some people hang big socks on their mantelpiece at Christmas?
Saint Nicholas, according to old tradition, left his very first gifts ever in the stockings of three poor girls. The original Father Christmas gave them three gold coins to pay for their wedding dowries.
The stockings had been hung on the hearth to dry above the fire. Nowadays, many families continue this tradition by hanging up stockings either at the end of the bed or above the fire for Father Christmas to fill with presents.
Some families still have small items such as fruit, nuts and sweets in their stockings. Other items traditionally appear in stockings, including tangerines and a lump of coal for naughty children.
What are Christmas Carols?
Christmas Carols are songs that are traditionally sung at Christmas time. Carol singers are a major part of Christmas, and many families go to carol services to celebrate by singing.
Carol singing groups, often just a few children, sometimes sing carols door to door or street to street in return for Christmas gifts or small amounts of money.
Christmas carols are generally based on Christian lyrics and are usually concerned with the Nativity. ‘Carol’ the word is a derivative of the French word ‘caroler.’ This word means to dance around in a circle. Many of the oldest Christmas carols were lost for all time after being banned in England by Oliver Cromwell.
Why do we celebrate Christmas Eve?
Christmas Eve is a major part of the basic religion behind Christmas. Most festivals start with ceremony the evenings before, and this is perhaps why Christmas Eve is a special event. Many people celebrate Christmas Eve with Midnight Mass.

Lyric~Hello to all of the children in the world
Chorus
Hello, bon jour, buenos dias! G'day,
guten-tag, konichiwa.....
Ciao, shalom, do-brey dien,
Hello to all the children of the world!
We live in different places From all around the
world. We speak in many different ways!
Though some things may be different, We're children just
the same- And we all like to sing and play!
Chorus
There are children in the deserts,
And children in the towns,
And children who live down by the sea!
If we could meet each other,
To run and sing and play-
Then what good friends we all could be!

繪本1/8 Hello, the world
這是一本很有趣的繪本, "Hello World",穿插了 許多 各國"打招呼"不同的語言,
雖然有些難度, 不過光是看 圖片也很過
癮,所以一定要想辦法 把這本書推銷出
去給同學們看囉:
1. 暖場可先問學生們有到過那些國家?
Which country had you ever been?
2. 會說其他國家的語言嗎?只要一點點
就可以玩囉~
3. 繪本媽媽可以先學會一些各國打招呼的用語,再教會同學~
(繪本媽媽可自由選擇較易上口的語言)
4. 可關聯當地特色食物或建築或傳統服裝or..... 如日本~壽司
suesi或傳統服裝為和服kimono.
5. 找出世界地圖請同學猜猜書中提及國家位置
6. 拼圖活動~將世界地圖粗略畫在瓦楞紙切下來,背面貼上磁
鐵就可以在黑板上玩囉~可以比速度, 也可以猜洲別(教國家
位置順便提及/做拼圖時也可以此為切割線)
7. 畫/猜國旗(唱歌時可以請同學掛著自己畫的國旗出來唱歌呀~
8.經典歌曲教唱 (很有feel喔/還有字幕))
Song1 : It's A Small World
Song2: So many ways to say hello (無字幕/但畫面不錯)
Song3: Hello to all the children of the world (要先教各國打招呼語)
以上是個人的小小建議囉~歡迎採用~
Hello, I am back!
好久沒上來寫網誌了,不知我的舊雨還記不記得,也不知
我有沒有新知上來呀???
英語繪本組這個年度有了新的組織,加入了許多熱情有
活了的生力軍,Anita老師也因為英語輔導團忙碌的工作,
暫時無法指導我們(不過,她說她一直都會支持我們的...)
現階段有充滿著熱誠及理想的Rebecca老師帶領我們,
並在我們上線前做了許多前置作業及聯絡~ 我們還集
思廣益為繪本組取了個英文團名~"SMART",這可是
一個縮寫字喔...聰明的各位來猜猜看是什麼組合吧?
感謝各位舊愛新歡,有安禔,碧麗,瑩銀,薏平,攸泮,Joanna,
淑芬,純美(後來因事退出),淑姿,佳琦,秉原..11位媽媽囉~
大家新的年度要辛苦了~

4/5清明節 Tomb Sweeping Day
清明節的由來
俗語說「春分落雨到清明」，在清明節前氣候相當不穩定，
有時晴空萬里、有時卻陰雨綿綿，因此，這段時間大家要
特別注意身體健康。「清明節」是華人相當重要的節日，
這一天大家要掃墓祭祖，也有掛紙、培墓、踏青、
放風箏等習俗，但你知道這些習俗的由來嗎？
傳說中是跟漢高祖劉邦有關喔！
~Tomb Sweeping Day ~
In ancient times, people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with
dancing, singing, picnics, and kite flying. Colored boiled
eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life.
In the capital, the Emperor would plant trees on the
palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of
spring. In the villages, young men and women would
court each other.
Here is the story about Tomb sweeping day. Long time
ago, there was a king named Liu Pang. When he won
the war and became a king, he went back to his country
with honor. Liu Pang wanted to express his respect
and appreciation for his parents, so he went to his
parents’ tombs to burn incense. However, he couldn’t
find their tombs because of the war. Liu Pang felt very
sad, but he didn’t give up.
Suddenly, he got an idea. He took out a sheet of paper,
tore it to many pieces, and threw it into sky. At that
time, he praised, “God, Please help me find my parents’
tombs. Let these small pieces of paper freeze at one place.
Lead me to find the tombs.” It was so strange that those
small pieces of paper stop at one place. Finally Liu Pang
found his parents’ tombs by following these papers.
That’s why we put some pieces of color papers under
small stones on the ancestors’ tombs.
Besides the traditions of honoring the dead, people also
often fly kits on Tomb Sweeping Day. Kites can come
in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors. Designs could
include frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, crabs, bats, and
storks.

Lantern Festival (摘自網路文章)
元宵節的由來
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
Here is a story of Yuanxiao. (元宵)
Long ago, there was a palace maid named Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao was very homesick. She missed her family and wanted to see them, but she could not leave the palace because she was the Emperor’s maid.
But Yuanxiao was very smart and came up with a plan to visit her family. One day, Yuanxiao told the Emperor that the God of Fire visited her and said that he was going to burn down the entire city, and that the only way to stop him was to make it look like the city was already on fire. The Emperor took this warning very seriously. To make the city look like it was on fire, he ordered that bright lanterns be hung all over the city streets, and tons of firecrackers be lit. That evening, the Emperor’s palace and the entire city was filled with activity.
Everyone was busy making and hanging lanterns, and firecrackers were exploding all around. Because everyone was distracted by their work and the noise of the firecrackers, Yuanxiao was able to sneak out of the palace and visit her family for a joyous family reunion.
元宵節的由來
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
Here is a story of Yuanxiao. (元宵)

新年的傳統禮俗(摘自網路)
Traditions of Chinese New Year
Celebrations today are both literal and symbolic.
Spring cleaning (大掃除) is started about a month
prior to the new year and must be completed before
the celebrations begin.
Typically red envelopes (紅包) called “Lai See” with money
tucked inside are given out as a symbol of good luck.
The amount is usually an even number as odd numbers
are regarded as unlucky.
Lions are considered to be good omens.
The lion dance (舞龍舞獅) is believed to repel demons.
Each lion has two dancers, one to maneuver the head,
the other the back. During the New Year celebrations
people do not fight or be mean to each other, as this
would bring a bad, unlucky year.
Foods during the holiday hold symbolism as well.
Typically red meat is not served and one is careful not
to serve or eat from a chipped or cracked plate.
Fish is eaten to ensure long life and good fortune.
Red dates (紅棗) bring the hope for prosperity,
melon seeds (瓜子) for proliferation and lotus seeds
(蓮子) mean the family will prosper through time.
Oranges and tangerines (橘子) symbolize wealth
and good fortune. Nian gao (年糕), the New Year's
Cake is always served. It is believed that the higher
the cake rises the better the year will be.
When company stops by a "prosperity tray" is served.
The tray has eight sides (another symbol of prosperity)
and is filled with goodies like red dates, melon seeds,
cookies and New Year's Cakes.
