This week we continued working with our Sport/Deportes Unit. Kids really love this unit and had a lot of fun playing, and doing different craft activities with our diferents types of sports like: basketball/basquetbol or baloncesto, football/futbol, and baseball/beisbol. We read different sports books through the week and they clearly enjoy learning about those sports. They did a good job with football lacing, a basketball art paint collage, and play games working on their gross motor skills. Playing baseball was a really fun for all of us! In addition, to close the week since Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22, we explained to children that is good to create objects from natural and recycled materials and spend more time outdoors, so we did a special craft with them; handprint Earth Day using tempera (in when the hand prints holding the Earth in a hearth shape). And shaving cream marble Earth. We also helped sort lids and caps for a school-wide project.
LetrasWe reviewed the letters they have learned in the past weeks (A,E,I,O,U,L, V, B, K, R, C, G, H, J, Q, W,). We did games to find letters in the books and looking into letters soup, also, before they leave the classroom, we reviewed the letter placed in our letters tree.
NúmerosThis week the kids continued learning addition 1 through 10. We did different activities, like counting and recognizing the numbers. We worked with football eggs, in which we placed a piece of paper with a number and kiddos had to recognize each number and place quantities beside each football egg. Then they did addition counting buttons and pompoms. They did a good job with addition.
La Figura y Color This week we learned the diamond /diamante shape. The kids could play with the shape, tracing the shape with their fingers and then lacing them. Also, the kids continued reinforcing the colors names that they learned: rojo/red, azul/blue, verde/green, and amarillo/yellow, purpura/purple, cafe/brown, anaranjado o naranja/orange, white/blanco, black/negro, and we introduced the new color to learn gray/gris. This week kids colored a sheet of paper with different sports, using the colors that they were and are learning.
Have a good weekend!
