animals. This learning fosters collaborative learning
experience.
B. Implementation of the curriculum (organization
learning situations and induction / generation
learning experiences).
Students will achieve animals with Tangram square,
then will analyze geometric figures components
(naming, features, measurement), will practice
communication skills in Romanian and English by
initiating spontaneous dialogues, conducting
advertising or articles, stories and retelling of some
known readings. Natural materials collected at the
beginning of the school year will be processed by
various techniques and tools and turned into toys,
