Poesia em português para este verão quente...

2007-08-10T15:07:00.001-07:00

LÁGRIMA DE PRETA
Encontrei uma preta
que estava a chorar,
pedi-lhe uma lágrima
para a analisar.

Recolhi a lágrima
com todo o cuidado
num tubo de ensaio
bem esterilizado.

Olhei-a de um lado,
do outro e de frente:
tinha um ar de gota
muito transparente.

Mandei vir os ácidos,
as bases e os sais,
as drogas usadas
em casos que tais.

Ensaiei a frio,
experimentei ao lume,
de todas as vezes
deu-me o que é costume:

nem sinais de negro,
nem vestígios de ódio.
Água (quase tudo)
e cloreto de sódio.

Happy Easter!

2007-03-23T15:21:00.000-07:00

Paper Bunny Basket

Materials:
printer,

something to colour with,

scissors,

glue, and

paper

There are lots of things you can do with this craft:

OPTIONS
attach a popsicle stick to make it a puppet,

attach a paper handle to make a basket (this is my favorite option... put in a bit of shredded paper or tissue paper and fill with small chocolates),

attach a string to make a cone hat (when the kids tilt their heads forward they'll look like the Easter Bunny) or

just hang on the fridge.

INSTRUCTIONS
Print out the template of choice.

Colour the pieces as appropriate.

Cut the pieces out. (Cutting may require adult assistance and can be pre-done). Cut along the solid lines only!

See the picture above if you're confused as to how to put this together. You might want to practice making the cone (without gluing) before you put the face on just so you can get a feel for what it looks like. The kids think it's pretty "magical" how the flat piece of paper turns into a cone!

Glue or tape the ears onto the top of the bunny.

Glue or tape the eyes and nose onto the face.

If you look at the bottom of the half circle (the straight part), you'll see the "glue here". Glue the side to the right of the teeth to the side to the left of the teeth.

Fold the ears and teeth on the dotted lines.

If you're making a bunny basket put a bit of tape on the teeth so the hole stays covered. (stuffing with a bit of shredded paper or tissue paper also keeps any candy from falling out the bottom).

Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Bunny Rabbit Ears
Very simple, but very fun!

Materials:
paper
tape
scissors

Instructions:
Make a strip of paper long enough to go around the child's head (you may need to tape to pieces end to end to get it long enough. You can make it thinner than we did, but my girls like the thick ones (they don't tear as easily and ride a bit higher on the head like a crown)

Print, color and cut out the ears

Tape the ears onto the strip

OPTIONAL: Decorate the strip with stickers/markers/etc as desired

Tape the strip in a loop so it fits on the head
Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Easter Bunny Cake
Ingredients:
• Cake mix
• Frosting
Directions:
1. Bake one round cake and a cupcake.
2. Cut the round cake in half and stand the two halves side by side. This is the body.
3. Put the cupcake at one end for the head.
4. Frost the cake and use a little extra at the other end for a tail.

O PROFESSOR ESTÁ SEMPRE ERRADO!

2007-02-02T10:39:00.000-08:00

O PROFESSOR ESTÁ SEMPRE ERRADO!

... se é jovem, não tem experiência

... se é velho, está superado

... se não tem carro, é um coitado

... se tem carro, chora de "barriga cheia"

... se fala em voz alta, grita

... se fala em tom normal, ninguém o ouve

... se não falta às aulas, é um tontinho

... se falta, é um "turista"

... se conversa com outros professores, está a falar mal dos alunos

... se não conversa, é um desligado

... se dá a matéria toda, não tem dó dos alunos

... se não dá a matéria, não prepara os alunos

... se brinca com a turma, arma-se em engraçado

... se não brinca, é um chato

... se chama à atenção é um autoritário

... se não chama, não sabe se impor

... se o teste de avaliação é longo, não dá tempo

... se o teste de avaliação é curto, tira as chances dos alunos

... se escreve muito, não explica

... se explica muito, o caderno não tem nada

... se fala correctamente, ninguém entende

... se fala a "língua" do aluno, não tem vocabulário

... se o aluno é reprovado, foi perseguição

... se o aluno é aprovado, o professor facilitou.

É verdade, o professor está sempre errado!
Mas se você conseguiu ler até aqui, agradeça-lhe a ele!
