Mis cinco sentidos
October is here! And we started working with “The five Senses” “Los Cinco Sentidos” theme. The Five Senses theme involves the children in sensory experiences. During this theme the child will identify, compare and classify items as they investigate the world around them. We are going to explore the five senses of touch, sight, smell, taste and sound during this month. Therefore, we started this week with the sense of sight, we were working with a fantastic book “Brown Bear, brown Bear, What Do You See? / Oso Café, Oso Café, ¿Qué Es Lo Que Tú Ves? The narrator of this book asks various animals what they see with the response usually being another animal, the respondent is then asked what they themselves see, and the process is repeated. It features a: Brown Bear/ Oso Cafe,
Red Bird/ Pajaro Rojo,
Yellow Duck/ Pato Amarillo
Blue Horse/ Caballo Azul
Green Frog/ rana Verde
Purple Cat/ Gato Morado
White Dog/ Perro Blanco
Black Sheep/ Cordero Negro
Goldfish/ Pez Dorado
The kiddos were fascinated with this wonderful book, and learning our new vocabulary. In addition, we worked on different activities to help them to build up their fine motor skills. We did a sequence book Brown Bear/ Oso Café, necklaces sequences, and we had a fun time playing Brown Bear/ Oso Café bingo.
Letras
This week we continued working with vowels, this week, vowel Ii. The kids identified this letter in our daily reading. They practiced the letter Ii through different activities such as tracing letter I i using their finger first and then, they traced it with crayons and markers. We did letter Ii necklaces.We read a book of the letter Ii. The English Letter Ii can be pronounced (ai). While the Spanish pronunciation is the sound you hear in steam. Examples: iglesia/church, iglu/igloo, insignia/insignia or emblem, isla/island.
Números
This week we started working with number 3. We had a fun time and played and a variety of items for sorting and counting. Sorting helps children see differences and similarities. We did activities such as counting three squares and goldfish. We traced and colored the number 3 (número tres).
La Figura y el Color
This month we started with the square shape (cuadrado), and the color blue (azul). The students passed around the shape, so the children could examine it up close. We compared different sizes of the square shape. Also, they did an activity to find 3 different blue cuadrados in our classroom.
