This week we continued working with our “The Media” unit, specifically with radio and television. The children learned that the radio helps us to inform ourselves, entertain us and we can use our sense of hearing to listen. We also learned that television is a means of communication that helps us to spend pleasant moments in family and to have fun. In addition we can know what happens in our community, our country
and in the whole world through the news. They also learned that the senses we use when watching
television are the sense of sight to observe and the sense of hearing to listen. We made activities such as radios and televisions of paper. The projects were quite fun since with the radio they danced and sang and with the television the kids played and talked about the actors of their favorite shows.
LAS LETRAS
We learned all about the letter Rr/ letra Rr. The letter R in Spanish is different from English. In Spanish, when the letter R is the first letter in a word it trills, like the ringing of a telephone.
Rana – frog,
Regalo – present,
Relog – clock,
Robot – robot,
Reina – queen,
Raton – mouse.
The children used different sensory materials to draw the letter R: materials such as rice, play dough, salt and sugar. We also drew the letter on the blackboard. I also showed them objects that start with the letter R like the frog, the mouse, the rose. We also observed names of the children to see which of their names had the letter R.
Los Números / Color / Figura
We continued working with the number thirteen/número trece. We reviewed the sequence of the numbers and did activities such as counting and random number identification of 1-13. We kept working with the star figure and the orange color, the children made a star by gluing balls of orange paper inside the figure.
