This week we continued working with “Mi Familia” /“My Family” theme. We use this theme as a guide to teach children more about families and what makes up a family. It’s so lovely to see how they are learning in every class! We worked with reading the book “Ricitos de Oro y los Tres Osos” “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. With this classic and amazing story the kids learned new Spanish words such as:
mamá oso / mama bear,
papá oso / papa bear,
bebé oso / baby bear,
casa / house,
bosque / forest,
oso / bear,
cuchara / spoon,
plato / plate,
sopa / soup,
silla / chair,
cama / bed,
pelo / hair.
We did great activities, such as painting bears faces using a fork to paint them, followed by recognition of three different sizes big/grande, medium/mediano, small/pequeño. As well, they were coloring bears, cutting out, and arranging correctly. The kids enjoyed this book and they had a good time learning our new words. In addition, we worked on different activities to help build up their fine motor skills.
Letra
This week we began our letter introduction. We started with vowel A a. The Spanish /a/ sound is what the dentist ask you to say, “ahhh”. This letter only has the one sound!
Kids found the vowel A in their names, daily reading and handwriting. The kids did different activities such as making vowel A a with play dough, and in different sensorial materials ( salt, flour, and mixed flour with water and coloring food). They had a lot of fun .
Números
This week we started working with number 2. We had a fun time playing and recognizing the number, they traced the number with play dough, traced the number in the board, counting bears, and pom poms.
La figura y el Color
This month we continued with the circle shape (círculo). I talked about it with the kiddos, passing around the shape, so the children could examine the shape up close. We compared different sizes of the circle shape. They also made different sizes of circles with play dough (small, medium, and big). Finally, we continued reviewing the color red with paint, colors, and finding red bears in the classroom.
Have a good weekend
