This week was really short due to the hurricane Florence. We are glad our children and their families are safe and back to our school family. This week we created a visual schedule to help children to track their day and activities during the day. This schedule will allow children to establish a routine and feel secure in our classroom.  The children are working on strengthen their fine motor by painting with Q-tips, using beads, lace and playing with Legos. The children are learning to identify their name and letters. Also, this week the children explored the concepts of heavy and lighter. The children used a balance and explored objects that are heavy and lighter than a rock. The children drew pictures of their findings. We will like to thank the parents that attended our first partnership event. It was excited to see the children play with their favorite toys and their parents. Thanks for all the support!

Our first week of school! For some children they are transitioning from another class, some of the children are adapting to new peers and new schedules and some children are new to our school family. As you know sometimes new things can be scary, and transitioning can be hard. We see a few tears, but the children enjoyed the first week of school.    Our first week together was spent learning about the learning centers, names of new friends, and how to make friends. At the art table, the children drew pictures and played with playdough. At the sensory table, the children played with funnels and measuring cups.

This week we learned about how to recognize what makes us sad or scared at school and what we can do to regulate our emotions. We introduce a safe place. It is a place that the children can use to calm their body and regulate their emotions. The children came up with clever ways to regulate their emotions such as to count to 10 or ask a friend/teacher to read with them or request a hug. We introduced some materials at art center such as playdough, rollers and glue. The children learned they need just a dot of glue. Also, the children drew beautiful self-portraits (take a look at our board). The children continued making new friends and exploring the learning centers.     They are learning their friend’s new names and how to play together. Also, this week we introduced the Question of the Day. It is an opportunity to count and talk about more or less and discuss the answer. It was a fun week!!       Esta semana aprendimos cómo reconocer lo que nos pone tristes o ...
