Animales
This week we continued work with the animal’s habitat. For instance, we did a theme week on deserts and one fun and 
successful activity was sand art. It’s a great way to add some texture to kid’s work. We did desert landscape pictures. They learned that desert animals have adapted ways to help them keep cool and use less water. Camels, for example, can go for days without food and water. Many desert animals are nocturnal, coming out only when the brutal sun has descended, to hunt. As well, we did activities with snakes and, finally; to close this awesome animal habitat topic, we did a Venn diagram activity, this activity helped them to learn more about animal’s habitats while they developed math skills!

We incorporated our touch investigation with the letter/letra Xx. The kids practice handwriting in paper and we used our fingers in salt draw it. We also used playdough to make a letter X. We sang songs, read a book of the letter Xx, and looked for the letter in our daily reading. The English letter Xx, can be pronounced (ex). While the Spanish pronunciation is (equis). As example:México/Mexico
xílofono/xylophone
xilografia/xylography
rayos x/ x-ray.
N
úmeros
This week we continued work with number 17. We had a fun time playing and using items to sort and count. Sorting helps children make comparisons by seeing the differences and similarities in quantities. We used a cactus to count and we played a game choosing a number and then we placed the number of items that correspond to that particular number. Games are a great way to practice numbers as well as practice important sequence and taking turn skills.
