Bakery/Panadería

This week we celebrated the holiday with a holiday spirit week, and we learned about one of my favorite books “The Gingerbread Man” and different versions. We transformed our dramatic play into a Bakery. The children pretended to bake their favorite cookies and made hot chocolate. At blocks, the children built houses and different structures for our gingerbread man. At art table, the children decorated gingerbread men and candy canes. At science table, the children play with dice counting 1:1 the dots and made lines in candy canes and they tasted a delicious gingerbread cookies and candy canes. We finally ended our week with a pajama day and decorated delicious cookies.

Ms. Brooke and I want to wish you a restful and safe holiday and want to thank you for all your patience and support through this unusual school year. We feel lucky to be part of your child’s school family! 

 

Esta semana celebramos la festividad con una semana de espíritu festivo y aprendimos sobre uno de mis libros favoritos "El hombre de jengibre" y diferentes versiones. Transformamos nuestra obra dramática en una panadería. Los niños fingieron hornear sus galletas favoritas e hicieron chocolate caliente. En los bloques, los niños construyeron casas y diferentes estructuras para nuestro hombre de jengibre. En la mesa de arte, los niños decoraron hombres de jengibre y bastones de caramelo. En la mesa de ciencias, los niños juegan con los dados contando 1: 1 los puntos e hicieron líneas en bastones de caramelo y degustaron unas deliciosas galletas de jengibre y bastones de caramelo. Finalmente terminamos nuestra semana con un día de pijamas y decoramos deliciosas galletas.

La Sra. Brooke y yo queremos desearles unas vacaciones tranquilas y seguras y queremos agradecerles por toda su paciencia y apoyo durante este inusual año escolar. ¡Nos sentimos afortunados de ser parte de la familia escolar de su hijo!

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 ...
