Buildings/Los edificios

-

This week was a short week, but it was full of fun and learning! We continued learning about buildings. We learned about things that happen inside of a building such grocery stores, schools, car wash, etc. At dramatic play, the children pretended to be an architect. They added different materials to their structures. At blocks the children continued building together and created amazing structures with a variety of blocks. At art table, the children played with Q-tips and drew simple geometric shapes to make a blueprint of a house. At science the children continued experimenting with coding and building with cups and using measuring tapes. At math, the children continued building with small blocks and taking turns in matching game. At sensory table, the children pretended to be a mason and they used small blocks and shaving cream to pretend to glue the blocks and build a structure. At literacy, we continued learning the letters and alliterations. The children loved to play with letters and sounds. We want to remind you that we are collecting boxes for our final project after spring break. 

 

¡Esta semana fue una semana corta, pero estuvo llena de diversión y aprendizaje! Continuamos aprendiendo sobre edificios. Aprendimos sobre las cosas que suceden dentro de un edificio, como supermercados, escuelas, lavado de autos, etc. En el juego dramático, los niños pretendieron ser arquitectos. Agregaron diferentes materiales a sus estructuras. En los bloques, los niños continuaron construyendo juntos y crearon estructuras asombrosas con una variedad de bloques. En la mesa de arte, los niños jugaron con hisopos y dibujaron formas geométricas simples para hacer un plano de una casa. En ciencias, los niños continuaron experimentando con la codificación y la construcción con tazas y usando cintas métricas. En matemáticas, los niños continuaron construyendo con bloques pequeños y turnándose en el juego de combinación. En la mesa sensorial, los niños simularon ser albañiles y usaron pequeños bloques y crema de afeitar para simular pegar los bloques y construir una estructura. En alfabetización continuamos aprendiendo las letras y las aliteraciones. A los niños les encantaba jugar con las letras y los sonidos. Queremos recordarles que estamos recolectando cajas para nuestro proyecto final después de las vacaciones 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 dramatic play, the children pretended to cook and feed the babies. At blocks, the children played with a variety of blocks. We ...

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 ...
