This week we continued with “Family Unit”, where to continue reinforcing the value of families “Families are Forever”. We are continuing to learn the structure of the traditional family which includes a mother, father, and siblings as the main focus of a family. So, at the end of this unit they will know a basic knowledge of how families work and how they are different. Also, we read the book, El Canguro Tiene Mamá?/Does a Kangaroo have a mother too? This book helps us to integrate new words into our Spanish vocabulary such as:
Canguro/Kangaroo,
León/ lion,
Jirafa/giraffe,
Pingüino/ penguin,
Cisne/ swan,Zorro/ fox,
Delfín/dolphin,
Cordero/lamb,
Oso/bear,
Elefante/elephant,
Mono/monkey.
We had fun with different kangaroo projects; paper bag puppet, construction paper bags, paint with their little fingers, and collage. To end, we looked at family photos, they named their family members, who was doing different activities, and they described the photos. Next week they will imitate mom and dad
