Melanie will explain how she planned her classes from Day 1 of the quarantine, beginning with the number of activities planned for a 30 minute connection, and how she combines them to make the music class appealing for children.
She will present materials that toddlers could have at home and could be used in music exercises as her MUSIC BOX: empty water bottles, plastic caps, stuffed animals among others.
Videos and pictures showing different techniques she uses to teach tempo, rhythm, reading musical notes and songs that involve parents in the musical activity, are shown along the presentation.
Principally she wants to transmit that organization and structure combined with the teacher's confidence and instincts can result in enjoyable classes.

The project Juana worked with was called "Monsters". The children worked with parts of the body and animal parts to create their own monsters.
The idea of this sesión is to share the tools that were successful to achieve the aims of the project. Not only the students' learning aims, but also our challenging aims as teachers within the virtual environment.
Teamwork and the value of talents as keys to success.
How to overcome teaching English to kindergarten, with no reading or writing skills, remotely.
The importance of clear and well defined “North” plus previous knowledge.
Including parents in a positive way.
The evaluation process, possible and rewarding.
3. How to describe pets in Kinder 5
Time: 4.40 p.m.
Teacher: Romina Alonso
School: Villa Devoto School
Biodata
Romina Alonso got her English teaching degree at CONSUDEC. She works in Kindergarten and Primary School at Villa Devoto School. Her main interest is the development of reflective practice and the learning process during the acquisition of a foreign languade at Kindergarten level.
Abstract
What makes a project, in an EFL virtual environment, effective? Can the bond between teacher and students still be sustainable? After analysing our path in this paradigm shift, it might be assumed that several factors proved to be crucial. For example, reflecting upon our teaching practice as a team and the relevance of the topic to be taught. Also, providing opportunities to use English in a meaningful way. This is the retelling of our experience in teaching ‘How to describe pets’ in Kinder 5. Three instances of a learning sequence will be described.
