tale for kids (short story)

---

Denzil tries to be a dog

 

Every night Denzil the donkey watched his master's pet dog jump up to greet him, wagging her tail furiously. The farmer would pat her on the head, put his hand in his pocket and give her some biscuits.

Denzil felt quite jealous. So the next night Denzil began jumping round in circles when he saw his master, swishing his tail. Then he jumped up to greet him.

But he was so big and clumsy that he knocked him flying! Denzil's reward was to be tied up in the barnyard in disgrace.

"Communicative approach”,

Based on methodology “communicative approach”, the best ways to make students produce using the vocabulary previously presented is develop linguistic competence. The communicative skill that human have to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences: drawings, gestures, sounds, colors, smells… that it is  realized on the relation between mind and body, that are established by culture, society, taste and personality. In this linguistic process we have the senses: sight, hearing, touch, flair, taste, knowledge of the language occur to the speech established by information in a context where we come to the textual aspects to establish that they are rules that are internalized in a natural way in the social aspect in which the individual belongs. In this way the people is stimulate to use his/her natural abilities: listening, reading, speaking and writing, for engaging discourse, going learning.

That’s why it is common students interacting one another to happen the language skill to be able to use that language appropriate to the particular social context. They do this in various configurations: pairs, triads, small groups and whole group.

Atividades e condutas a serem aplicadas para alunos do maternal

• Com o objetivo de controlar os esfíncteres do aluno, orienta-se o professor que estimule e incentive a criança de forma tranqüila e gradativa.

• Elabore atividades que aborde a higiene bucal e coloque em prática com os alunos após o momento do lanche, incentivando o uso do creme e da escova dental. Teatro com fantoches é uma atividade que chama a atenção dos alunos, porém quando bem elaborada.


• No horário do lanche, auxilie o aluno a alimentar-se, mas dê liberdade para que ele aprenda a fazer sozinho. Lembre-se de que o papel do professor é de orientar e não realizar tudo que é proposto.

• Trabalhe com músicas gestuais, cantigas de roda e dança, estimulando partes do corpo.

• Conte histórias infantis, porém curtas.

• Trabalhe com o corpo através de estímulos, de forma que estimule a criança a identificar e nomear as partes do seu corpo. No momento do banho também pode ser trabalhado o corpo.


• Incentive e desenvolva a fala, conversando diariamente com a criança sobre os aspectos do dia-a-dia, possibilitando que essa expresse seus desejos através da fala, evitando somente a comunicação gestual, bem como favorecendo o desenvolvimento de sua linguagem.

• Trabalhe com garatujas, utilizando folhas brancas, lápis, giz de cera e/ou tinta guache atóxica. Nesse momento é fundamental que o professor fique atento de forma que o aluno não leve esses materiais à boca e olhos.

• Aplique atividades com traçados simples (desenvolvendo a coordenação motora), rasgar papel e trabalhar com massinhas, com formas geométricas: círculo, quadrado e triângulo, exercícios de encaixe, incentivando o acerto. No início o professor deve auxiliar a criança, no segundo momento deve deixar com que ela o faça.

Trabalhar com a criança possibilita ao professor criar inúmeras atividades. O importante é que no momento do planejamento o mesmo busque criar atividades que tenham como finalidade propiciar o desenvolvimento da criança como um todo.
