March arrived and Spring is almost here!! And our new theme too. So, this month the children will have fun with the themes: “The Media” and “Spring.” We will learn that the media are tools that help us to communicate and know what happens in our city, the country and the whole world. In addition, they will learn that the media also serve to educate, inform and entertain. The children will learn basic vocabulary of the different means of communication and recognize the means of communication according to the medium used in class as oral, written, gestural and iconographic. Also, we will continue working with motor development by strokes, coloring, cutting and chopping. In this unit children will be able to identify the numbers in different communication media such as the telephone, mobile and radio. Also, they will be able to identify the letters of the alphabet in the media such as newspapers, magazines and computers. In addition to this, the children will learn poetry, songs and riddles related to the media.
This week we learned about media such as mail and telephone. We learned that mail is an instrument that we use to communicate with people that are in another place. We learned that we also use our sense of sight to see the letter and the sense of touch to write the letter.
Telephone; helps us to communicate with people, family, friends, etc. Also, we learned that to communicate through this way people use the sense of sound to listen and the sense of touch to hold the phone.
We practiced writing letters to family members. We drew and colored the letters, then placed the letters in a special mail box that they built and colored. Also the children made a paper telephone and used the sequence of number 1-9, zero, number button and star button. They had to glue the numbers on their telephone and then played with the telephone and pretended to call family members.
