Bring mindfulness into your classroom through this easy breathing exercise. This worksheet makes it even easier! PRO-TIP: Practice the square breathing before getting to the worksheet: using your fingers, make a square in the air. Make sure you take 4 seconds to draw each side of the square: 4 breathing in, 4s holding , 4s breathing out & 4 more holding the air. Then move on to the worksheet and get even more mindful by drawing with a pen/pencil as you breath in/out/hold. Have being mindful with your kids!

Hi! I’m Bia. I love teaching children since I first started, 8 years ago. I’ve always been passionate about traditions - especially genuine Brazilian traditions (something about them, right?!). I’ve been wanting to bring a Latin flavor into the young learner English classroom for the longest, and that time has come, my friend! It’s #TimeForAchange! When I look back and reflect upon my own childhood, I realize I hold amazing memories of cantigas de roda (traditions chants sang over group games and dances), so I’m bringing them to the young learner classroom (YASSS!). Through research, I’ve reconnected with amazing cultural chants that make childhood unforgettable in Brazil, and used their tunes to create a message that will bring positive transformations to the young learner classroom. Let’s give a new life & meaning to these traditional chants, creating a sense of community, cultural awareness & appreciation in a fun and safe classroom filled with joy, respect and authenticity. Thank y’all for the support, cheering, constant feedback & love that makes me so very happy, inspired, energized and empowered! I’m transforming the way I teach and I’m thrilled to have you on board! Let’s raise cultural awareness & appreciation together! #BringBrazilToMyClassroom

I’m so happy to share my latest updated routine visuals with you! First, I must make it clear that I didn’t draw the graphics myself. I found them online (most of them have “Fumira” signed, so THANK YOU, FUMIRA) and named them to best suit the activities we do in class. You’ll find both half page of full page available here, referring to the print size. Make your choice. Hope it helps! I’d love to see and hear how you are using this routine resource on instagram!

This voice level chart makes it easier to teach young learners expected noise levels in the classroom. We have it displayed on our wall and go through it every day during circle time. If we manage to keep our voices up to level 3 or below the whole class gets a rewards at the end of the day (we use our ‘power of respect’ whole class rewards system here, which I’ll be sharing soon). #ExpectationsMadeClear

II’m so very proud of you for taking this incredible & challenging road! Critical thinking is a learnable essential life skill and our students deserve (and need!) as many opportunities to master it. #BeTheChangeYouWannaSee In this bundle you will find activities (with answer sheet), video links and games to discuss importance of celebrating brazilian rich culture during carnival, while developing: listening, speaking, reading, writing and thinking skills (YASSS, CRITICAL THINKING). I truly hope you have fun picking your students’ brain through these activities, video links and games, while discussing highly relevant themes such as culture, female representation, stereotypes, independent thinking & more! Also, I’m feeling a bit extra excited to have you joining me in this positive transformation movement, so I’ve added a bonus game to the bundle! YASSSS! It’s one of my favourite games, because we get to truly & deeply know our students and build positive relationships with them. YASSS (I know, I can’t help it haha) I’m talking about the “Would you Rather” game! Have fun! #BringBrazilToMyClassroom LET’S GET STARTED!
