Piratas
This week we finished with our unit of Piratas y Mapas/ Pirates and Maps. This topic was very creative with the little ones because it helped them to develop their imagination through many different activities.
This week we also started working with and learning about the solar system/ El Sistema Solar. This topic gave us the opportunity to talk about what we already know about the solar system and then build upon that. We worked with a little introduction of the planets such as How many planets there are and their position from the sun. A favorite from this week was our new song about the planets. This will help us to 
recognize the name and order of the planets.
The activities in this theme will be very fun for all of us. We would love some help with prepping some of the tasks, if you are able. I will put these projects our on the desk in the hallway. Please ask if you have any questions or need clarification.
Las letras y los números
Our letter focus for the week was the letter R. The English letter name is pronounced as, R (ar), while the Spanish letter name pronunciation is; R (erre). Some examples we worked with this week were; regalo/present, reina/queen, rana/frog, ratón/mouse, robot/robot.
Be sure to point out the letters we practice as you are reading with your child.
Our number focus for the week was number 14/ catorce. They did an excellent job counting 1 through 14. We did different activities with this number such as counting and recognizing the number through dots and shapes. We also used our find motor skills for tracing the number 14 and counting in groups.
