This week we continued working with “El Oceano”. The children had fun learning about marine animals like the octopus, dolphin and seal. This week the children learned that the octopus have 8 tentacles. They also learned that octopuses throw black ink to scare their predators. The kiddos had fun with activities such as octopus counting, dolphins, a dividing dolphins craft, and an ocean memory game. Also, we continued working with the month ocean vocabulary. Last week we started with:
Fish/pez,
Whale/ballena
Shark/Tiburón,
This week we added:
Octopus/pulpo
Dolphin/delfin
Seal/foca,
LETRAS
This week we learned all about the letter Ww/ letra Ww. Be sure to point out the letter that we practice when you are reading. The Spanish pronunciation of the letter W is the same as the English pronunciation. (The W only occurs in foreign words in Spanish.) Some examples:
Washington/Washington,
Wafle/wafle,
wapiti/wapiti,
We had fun with our ocean activities such as drawing the letter in sugar, tracing the letter on an individual whiteboard, and coloring the letter W.
NÚMEROS
This week children continued working with addition 1-5. We started really working with the pre-K kiddos this week on understanding the concept of addition. We have been working with numbers 1 through 5 and number combinations. Now they know what happens when they add two numbers. We gathered up our collection of green, blue, yellow, and red manipulatives to start working with the little ones to have fun with addition. They did a great job practicing addition with hands-on manipulatives. With this activity the kids had the opportunity to learn while also having a lot of fun.
La Figura y Color
We continued working with the star shape (estrella) and the color Anaranjado y/o naranja (orange). The children did activities like looking for orange objects in the classroom while also reviewing, in a color sort, the colors that we have already seen.
Have a good weekend!
