“A Father is neither a sun nor moon to light up the whole sky. He is just a candle in the shadow of the night, shinning brightly to those that surround him” Happy Father’s Day! This week we started work with the plants, I was teaching the little ones what the plants need to grow (sun, water, soil, and air), and plants parts (root, steam, leaves and flower), as well the life cycle of plants from seed to plant. Children were fascinating by the notion that a tiny seed can emerge from the ground as a plant. the little ones enjoyed what they were learning, we did some science projects and paper project too. As well, the kids were working doing a Father’s Day project. Thank you, papas/ Dads, to come a read a book to the children they were very excited.
Número de la semana: This week we focused on the number: 17 We are focusing on correct number formation (top -down), making groups of objects, and counting up to this number. We used our plants topic to do different activities like counting seeds. This was a simple activity to help kids practice counting and number recognition.
Some examples:
Gato/cat,
Gorilla/gorilla,
Gusano/worm,
Guitarra/guitar,
Galleta/cookie,
Gorra/hat.
.
We reviewed all the shapes we have learned; circle/circulo, square/cuadrado, triangle/triangulo, rectangle/rectangulo, oval/ovalo, heart/corazon, and star/Estrella and diamond/diamante. Also, we reviewed our color range; rojo/red, azul/blue, verde/green, amarillo/yellow, purpura/purple, cafe/brown, anaranjado o naranja/orange, pink/Rosado, baby blue/celeste, black/negro, white/blanco and gray/gris. They reinforced the colors by making a beautiful tie for their dads.
