Happy Mother’s Day!
This week we continued working with “The Circus” unit. Kids had a lot of fun playing with our little circus, made by a school parents Fernando Horner and Akilah Johnson. Thank you very much for making this awesome circus for the kids. They were so exited with it. We also reviewed the vocabulary learned last week (circo y/o carpa/ circus, boleto/ticket, and payaso/clown). As well, they learned new vocabulary this week:
Pista/circus ring
Taquilla/ticket window
Palomitas/popcorn
This week we had a great time playing at the circus. Each child did different shows, like dancers and clowns. They made it excellent. On the other hand, children were working with beautiful projects for their moms. So, they were working hard to give their moms a very special moment, practicing the song and poem many times. Thank you moms who were able to attend this little gift for you. Your kids were so happy to sing and recite for you. Doing projects together was awesome!
Letras
This week we learned all about the letter Yy/ letra Yy. Be sure to point out the letter that we practice when you are reading. The English letter name Y can be pronounced as (uai). While the Spanish letter name is; Y (i griega). Some examples:
Yema/yolk,
Yoyo/yo-yo,
yogur/yogurt.
Kids did activities like hands-on working with sugar, sand, letters games, coloring and letter recognition.
Números
This week we continued working with the number 12. We had a fun time playing with and recognizing the number too. Kids used some items to sort and count. Sorting helps children see differences and similarities. We did activities such as counting twelve/doce buttons, little bears, and beans. As well kids traced the number 12 (número doce).
La Figura y Color
This week we continued reviewing the shapes learning through this course. Children were looking into the classroom for shapes circulo/circle, cuadrado/square, triangle/triangulo, rectangulo/rectangle, oval/ovalo, Estrella/star, and diamante/diamond. They play shape memory games as well. Also, the kids continued reinforcing the colors names that they learned as rojo/red, azul/blue, verde/green, and amarillo/yellow, purpura/purple, cafe/brown, anaranjado o naranja/orange. This week the kids had fun using the colors they learned using them on the beautiful hand prints they made for their moms.
Have a good weekend!
