This week we continued working with our social’s skills activity and “Family” unit. Family is forever. This unit provides the kiddos with a basic knowledge of how family works and how every family is different. When the children were participating in our circle time, they had the opportunity to discuss their families, and gain knowledge on how each family is unique. I provided a variety of ideas to capture the essence of family importance. We have worked with reading the book as “Eres tu Mi Mama?”/ “Are You My Mother?” The kids enjoyed this book and they had a good time learning new words such as:

gato – kitten,

gallina-hen,

perro- dog,

vaca- cow.

The kiddos were very excited learning about families. Words of the month:

Mamá-mother,

Papá-father,

Bebé-baby,

Hermano-brother,

Hermana-sister,

Abuela-grandmother,

Abuelo-grandfather.

 

In addition, the children did activities with a bird and nest, bird nest sensory bin, pasta bird nest, baby bird eats the worm (fine motor sensory bin) and find the mamá game.

These activities help the children to build up their fine motor skills.

Special Focus:

 

We practiced tracing and writing our names throughout the week.  Soon we will begin our letter study!
