Esta semana continuamos aprendiendo sobre nuestro cuerpo humano. Aprendimos que el corazón es uno de los órganos más importantes y su función es mover la sangre por todo nuestro cuerpo. Además, controla el ritmo y la velocidad de tu frecuencia cardíaca. En el centro de ciencias, creamos un modelo de corazón bombeando. Los niños aprendieron que nuestro corazón tiene dos lados y ambos bombean sangre. En la mesa de arte, los niños crearon su representación de una persona usando materiales de collage. En el juego dramático, los niños continúan fingiendo ser médicos y pacientes. Los niños se turnaron y usaron las diferentes herramientas para comprobar la salud de su amigo. En los bloques, los niños crearon un increíble hospital y consultorio médico. En el área sensorial, aprendimos que nuestra sangre tiene tres componentes principales: glóbulos blancos, glóbulos rojos y plasma. Los niños usaron las tenazas para clasificar los diferentes componentes. Además, esta semana hemos celebrado la semana de los niños pequeños.

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 ...
