La Granja
November is a perfect time to learn about farm! We had fun this week doing a simple farm unit with the kiddos.This unit is a great way to introduce the kids to the differences between types of animals and types of lifestyle. Also, kids can learn how the farm is important for our life. They will learn how farm animals can contribute to our life style. We also will learn who and how take care of farm animals. The objective for this unit is that kids learn name of animals, sounds of animals, food of farm animals, uses of farm animals. We did different projects for the farm like sensory play activities, paper plate chickens, paper craft chicks, paper plate caws, and paper plate and cotton ball sheep.LETRAS

La Figura y Color
This month we started with triangle shape (triangulo), and green (verde) color. I talked about it with the kids, passing around the shape, so the children could examine this shape up close. We compared different sizes of the triangle shape. Also, they did an activity to draw and cut triangle shapes.
