Apples/Manzanas

-

This week was all about apples. The children explored the inside and the outside of an apple. We use words such as bumpy and smooth. At science center, we learned about why apples turn brown, due to the process of Oxidizing happens when the apples come in contact with the oxygen in the air and begin to react, turning brown. Also, we taste delicious apples. Our class prefers eating yellow apples and they measure their height with apples. At dramatic play, the children pretended to pick apples and bake delicious pies. At sensory table, we played with apples, tongs and baking trays. We encourage the children to sort apples and use tongs. At table games, we sorted pom-poms by colors. At the writing table, we practice drawing and writing words related to apples. At art table, we practice ripping and gluing paper and we played with apple playdough and small tins pies. We finalize our week by eating delicious apple pie in a cup for snack!

 

Esta semana fue todo sobre manzanas. Los niños exploraron el interior y el exterior de una manzana. Usamos palabras como irregular y suave. En el centro de ciencias, aprendimos por qué las manzanas se vuelven marrones, debido al proceso de oxidación que ocurre cuando las manzanas entran en contacto con el oxígeno en el aire y comienzan a reaccionar, volviéndose marrones. Además, probamos deliciosas manzanas. Nuestra clase prefiere comer manzanas amarillas y miden su altura con manzanas. En el juego dramático, los niños fingieron recoger manzanas y hornear deliciosos pasteles. En la mesa sensorial jugamos con manzanas, tenazas y bandejas para hornear. Animamos a los niños a clasificar manzanas y usar pinzas. En los juegos de mesa, clasificamos pompones por colores. En la mesa de escritura, practicamos el dibujo y la escritura de palabras relacionadas con las manzanas. En la mesa de arte, practicamos rasgar y pegar papel y jugamos con plastilina de manzana y tartas de latas pequeñas. ¡Terminamos nuestra semana comiendo un delicioso pastel de manzana en una taza como merienda!

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.

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 ...
