Hoy y el Pasado
This week the preschool classes continued working with El Pasado/Past y El Presente/Present. We read about different examples of daily life in the USA during the Colonial Age. We also discussed their grandparents and how things might have been when they were growing up.
We made comparisons between the past and the student’s actual life. They all did a great job with this. We used quite a variety of different types of examples and activities during all our explorations. It was great fun recognizing different things of the past and present.
Letras y Números
We had a great time with the letters Mm and Ss / la letra Mm y Ss. The letter S and the letter M make the same sounds in Spanish as they do in English. Some sample words we used to practice beginning sounds were silencio/silence, sopa/soup and serpiente/snake. The children also did a great job recognizing the Ss sound in their numbers. Seis y siete.
Some of our M words this week were mother/mamá, hand/mano, butterfly/mariposa, bat/murciélago.
For our number focus this week we worked with the numbers 1-7 doing quite a few activities. We used our counting skills during a Thanksgiving project doing a turkey/ pavo. All the students were very excited to do this project. You might notice your child singing a lot. We sang a LOT this week, especially songs related with numbers 1-7 and letters Mm and Ss.
