This week we continued working with the unit “My Body”/ “Mi Cuerpo”, In the last couple weeks the children have learned body parts such as head, hair, eyebrow, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, arms, hands, fingers, legs, knees, feet, brain, heart, lungs, stomach, intestines. This week we learned how our body work. We learne
d that the inside of our body is a skeleton/esqueleto made up of all our bones. A bit like a giant coat hanger, our skeleton keeps our body the right shape! I taught them that babies are born with 300 bones. Some of these joins together as their grown. A fully-grown adult has 206 bones. And the skeleton is covered by muscles/musculos. As well, they learned this week that they have more than 600 muscles/musculos in their body. Some help to move food and blood, while others help you move around.
Therefore, this week kids did gross motor activities such as: balance, jump, gross motor activity with hula hoops, obstacles, foot circuit, and more, kids did a great job!!
LETRAS
This week we reviewed the vowels/las vocales. 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, tracing the vowels, coloring the vowels with different colors, and games of vowels recognition.
NÚMERO
This week we continued working with number 4 (número cuatro) doing different activities. We used a white paint to place it in the number four/ número 4. They traced the number and counted four Halloween erasers and four different little manipulatives too.
LA FIGURA Y EL COLOR
This week we continued working with the square shape (el cuadrado) and blue color (color azul). We reviewed the square shape comparing different sizes of this shape. We did activities such as gluing four blue different sizes of squares on a red piece of paper. Also, had fun with different counting activities. Kids were looking around the classroom for blue manipulatives in our classroom.
