Mis cinco sentidos
This week we continued working with “The five Senses” “Los Cinco Sentidos” theme.We learned all about the sense of taste.The taste sense theme involves the children in sensory experiences. During this theme I started teaching the kids that our tongues are covered in taste buds that allow us to taste things that are salty, sweet, sour and bitter. I provided students with examples of each flavor to taste. Lemons, pretzels, unsweetened cocoa, and sugar work well. As well, we did an apple experiment in when the kids could taste this fruit with different flavors, we used sweet apple, salty apple, sour apple, and bitter apple using honey, salt, green apple with lemon, and dark chocolate. We talked about the foods and whether or not the kiddos liked them. They did activities such as paper in the shape of a tongue and pictures of the four foods they tried and have them glue them on the tongue. We labeled salty, sweet, sour and bitter and the students glued these under the correct pictures. We did a taste sorting game, the kids saw pictures of different foods and they sorted them into the four tastes- salty, sweet, sour and bitter. The kiddos enjoyed tasting all different flavors. Whit this theme, the kids learned new vocabulary, as bitter/amargo, sour/acido, salty/salado, sweet/dulce.
Letras
This week we continued working with vowels, this week, vowel Oo. The kids identified this letter in our daily reading. They practiced the letter Oo through different activities such as tracing letter O o using their finger first and then, they traced it with crayons and markers. We did letter Ii necklaces.We read a book of the letter Oo. The Spanish pronunciation is the same as the letter name. Examples: oso/bear, ocho/eight, olla/pot, ovalo/oval, oveja/sheep.
Números
This week we started working with number 4 (número cuatro). We had a fun time playing and using different items for sorting and counting. We did activities such as counting four squares, four tongues, four mouths and we traced and colored the number.
La Figura y el Color
This week we continued with square shape (cuadrado), and blue (azul) color. We talked about it with the kids, passing around the shape, so the children could examine this shape up close. We compared different sizes of the square shape. Also, they did an activity to find 4 different blue things in our classroom. They tried to cut 4 squares as well.
