La familia

This week we continued working with our Socials Skills and Family theme. I Used this theme 20160912_101200.jpgas a guide to teach children more about families and what makes up a family. We worked with the book  “¿Eres tú Mi Mamá?”. “Are You My Mother?” This story is about a hatchling bird. His mother, thinking her egg will stay in her nest where she left it, leaves her egg alone and flies off to find food. The baby bird hatches. He does not understand where his mother is so he goes to look for her. As he is unable to fly, he walks, and in his search, he asks a kitten, a hen, a dog, and a cow if they are his mother, but none of them are. Finally, his mother returns to the nest and the two are united, much to their delight, and the baby bird recounts to his mother the adventures he had looking for her. The kids enjoyed this book and they had a good time learning new words: gato/kitten, gallina/hen, perro/dog, and vaca/cow. We also worked on different activities such as the hands family tree and nests. These activities help them to build up their fine motor skills. In addition, we sang songs, danced, and play.
