¡Empezamos nuestra semana con nuestro tradicional truco o trato! Los niños se divirtieron recorriendo nuestra escuela y practicando su truco o trato y obteniendo deliciosos bocadillos. Nuestra clase decidió aprender sobre panadería. Transformamos nuestra área dramática en una panadería. Los niños simularon mezclar ingredientes y hornear galletas y pan. En la mesa sensorial, usamos un batidor de huevos para hacer burbujas. En Science Table, hacemos coincidir las galletas y las clasificamos por tamaño. En matemáticas, clasificamos los bloques de patrones por forma y los objetos por tamaño. En la mesa de alfabetización, jugamos con las letras y usamos punto a punto para reconocer las letras. En el escritorio, los niños están escribiendo algunas palabras relacionadas con la panadería. En la mesa de arte, pintamos con leche condensada y algunos de los niños la probaron y los niños usaron tijeras, papel de construcción y formas de espuma para crear su pastelito perfecto. La Sra. Robin visitó nuestra clase para continuar con nuestro grupo de idiomas. Los niños tuvieron la oportunidad de practicar cómo pedir un turno y hablaron sobre el comportamiento esperado e inesperado. La Sra. Sara nos enseñó sobre diferentes emociones y leyó el libro "¡La paloma también tiene sentimientos!". La Sra. Shelly nos enseñó una nueva canción y tocamos instrumentos juntos.

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.

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 ...
