This week we continued working with the five senses/ Los Cinco Sentidos. The kids learned about their body’s sense of hearing, they learned that we use our ears to take information about things around us. Like other skills that children learn, listening takes practice. We used listening games involving listening to different instruments, sounds of music at various volumes. Kids heard sounds from different objects and then I asked them to name the object making the sound, they did great! I changed the volume from quiet to loud to demonstrate the difference, then, we sang la araña pequeñita/ little spider at varying volumes. We read the book Oso Polar, Oso Polar, Oso Polar ¿Qué Es Ese Ruido?/Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? What did the kids hear when I read the book? Lots of noise when kids chanted the rhythmic words. The kiddos enjoyed making the animal sounds. As well, we did a lot of fun projects, as Polar Bear snack, we used bagels, cream cheese, bananas, Oreo cookie, and blueberries, a circle polar bear craft and a print polar bear.
LETRAS
This week we reviewed all the vowels/las vocals we have learned about so far. Be sure to point out the vowels (A, E, I, O , U) that we practice when you are reading. We incorporated our touch investigation with the vowels, reading books, playing bingo, and games of vowels recognition.
NÚMEROs
We reviewed the numbers 1-5 doing different activities. We had a fun time playing with the number. We traced the numbers 1-5 to work on number formation, coloring and counting stickers, sticks, and more.
LA FIGURA Y EL COLOR
This week we continued working with the square shape (cuadrado) and color blue (color azul). We reviewed the square shape using and comparing different sizes of this shape. We did a project where we painted blue sticks and made the square shape with them. This emphasized that squares have 4 sides and they are the same size. Also, they did an activity counting and drawing 4 blue squares.
Have a good weekend
