Healthy food! Comida saludable!

We are learning about healthy food, but we also celebrated the week of the young child. This week was filled with different activities. On Monday, Ms. Amy taught us how to dance and move our bodies. On Tuesday, we had a special guest, Mr. Matt, he read to our class a great book “I Really Like Slop” and Ms. Tracy and Ms. Jennifer help us to prepare a delicious and healthy snack. On Wednesday, we learned about safety through a great puppet show. We learned about crossing the street and the importance of using a helmet. On Thursday, we decorated a pot and planted a flower and on Friday, we used each family handprint to create a beautiful flower that represents our school family. We want to wish them a wonderful spring week! 

Estamos aprendiendo sobre alimentos saludables, pero también celebramos la semana del niño pequeño. Esta semana estuvo llena de diferentes actividades. El lunes, la Sra. Amy nos enseñó a bailar y mover nuestros cuerpos. El martes, tuvimos un invitado especial, el Sr. Matt, que leyó en nuestra clase el gran libro "Realmente me gusta Slop", y la Sra. Tracy y la Sra. Jennifer nos ayudan a preparar una merienda deliciosa y saludable. El miércoles, aprendimos sobre seguridad a través de un gran espectáculo de títeres. Aprendimos sobre cruzar la calle y la importancia de usar un casco. El jueves, decoramos una maceta y plantamos una flor y el viernes, usamos cada mano de cada familia para crear una hermosa flor que representa a nuestra familia escolar. ¡Queremos desearles una maravillosa semana de primavera!

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. At the table game, the children played with small colored blocks, puzzles, and Mr. Potato Head. At literacy, the children sorted letters by color, matched letters of their first and last names, and worked with letter puzzles and robot letters. At dramatic play, the children pretended to cook and feed the babies. At blocks, the children played with a variety of blocks. We ...

The rules will help create a supportive and organized school family.  In science, the children learned about primary colors and created new colors by mixing paint and colored water. It was really fun. At the sensory table, we introduced scissors. The children practiced cutting straight lines.  At the art table, the children painted with watercolor, used Q-tips to paint, paint sticks, markers and water to mix colors, and played with playdough.

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 ...
