Theoretical Framework

Didactic MaterialWe can describe that didactic material are all kind of instrument that facility to the teacher transmit a successful learning process, a tool that not only allowed that the student learn instead a facility to teach.“The word ‘didactic’ means designed or intended to teach. It also means intended to convey instruction and information as well as pleasure and entertainment.” (Maria Montessori)

Environmental Plan ManagementThe Environmental management is a process that is faced to resolve, to moderate and prevent problems of environmental character, in order to achieve sustainable development, understood as the one who allows the man to the development of their potential and their biophysical and cultural heritage and ensuring their permanence in time and space.

ReuseAs a important factor of the environment, reuse is when people use again certain material instead of put it into the garbage, but not all kind of material is has to be recyclable.“The concept behind the second R, reuse, is that you should reuse items as much as possible before replacing them. For example, it generally makes more environmental sense to update your computer rather than get rid of it and buy a new one.”(Desktop PCs glossary Online, 2014) 

ReduceThis is the first step of the three Rs, and the most important, in this step the people can reduce any kind of material and avoid the waste of the same, it also can be reduce electricity and the water that we are no used it.“The most essential way to reduce waste is to avoid creating it in the first place. Unfortunately, current consumer behavior is trending in the wrong direction. According the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, each person created 2.7 pounds of waste each day in 1960. Today that number is 4.3 pounds.” (Bethany Wieman, Demand Media)

Recycle is defining to the use that we give to the materials, not to waste them and to the separation and classification of the residues correctly.

Bandera Azul EcológicaIt is an award involving all kinds of public and private institutions of the country and according to its category gives you a plan to carry it out and get good results, creating a balance between work and the environment.

Speaking SkillIn English we have four basic skills one of them is that of speaking, with that we communicate to ourselves most of the time and with the one that the children of preschool were developing more while they cross the way to the primary one and begin the next skill as it is of the writing.

Listening skillListening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in the communication process.“Listening skills are vital for your learners. Of the 'four skills,' listening is by far the most frequently used. Listening and speaking are often taught together, but beginners, especially non-literate ones, should be given more listening than speaking practice. It's important to speak as close to natural speed as possible, although with beginners some slowing is usually necessary. Without reducing your speaking speed, you can make your language easier to comprehend by simplifying your vocabulary, using shorter sentences, and increasing the number and length of pauses in your speech.”

Usually the school Misionera Catolica Reina de la Paz at the beginning of each school year it is requested a list of materials which includes acrylic paint, scissors, pencils, rubber glue, among others, so the same materials of the children will be used in the workshop.

Learning in the workshop Children during the workshop will learn not only to care for the environment, which implies the use of the three R's, learn to separate waste, to reduce pollution and to transmit these values to their houses and communities, but also learn English differently with demonstrations, participations and repeats all these tools are necessary to enable them to acquire an extensive vocabulary and learn by context, achieving educate the child's ear and accustoming only the language of the English.
