Our schedule and school job/ Nuestro Horacio y nuestro trabajo en la escuela

-

This week, we learned normally people use a clock to track time, but we can track time by using other ways. We introduce a visual schedule to help the children to track the time when they are at school. Also, we introduced a school family job. Every week the children will help with a school family job just like they help their family at home. At art table, the children decorated their family frame to add family pictures to our safe place, used geometric shapes to create beautiful pictures, they also painted in aluminum foil with white and blue paint and played with paly dough. We also began working on our program handwriting without tears, fine motor journal and math journal. Each week, the children will engage in a variety of activities that will help to learn or master an early learning skill. The children continued exploring the different learning centers and materials. Also, this week was our first family partnership day. The parents visited our classroom and engaged in different activities and ate delicious cookies with milk. It was a short week, but full of learning!

 

Esta semana, aprendimos que normalmente la gente usa un reloj para controlar el tiempo, pero podemos controlar el tiempo de otras formas. Introducimos un horario visual para ayudar a los niños a realizar un seguimiento del tiempo que pasan en la escuela. Además, introdujimos un trabajo familiar escolar. Cada semana los niños ayudarán con un trabajo familiar de la escuela tal como ayudan a su familia en casa. En la mesa de arte, los niños decoraron su marco familiar para agregar fotos familiares a nuestro lugar seguro, usaron formas geométricas para crear hermosos cuadros, también pintaron papel de aluminio con pintura blanca y azul y jugaron con masa paly. También comenzamos a trabajar en nuestro programa escritura a mano sin lágrimas, diario de motricidad fina y diario de matemáticas. Cada semana, los niños participarán en una variedad de actividades que les ayudarán a aprender o dominar una habilidad de aprendizaje temprano. Los niños continuaron explorando los diferentes centros y materiales de aprendizaje. Además, esta semana fue nuestro primer día de colaboración familiar. Los padres visitaron nuestro salón de clases y participaron en diferentes actividades y comieron deliciosas galletas con leche. ¡Fue una semana corta, pero llena de aprendizaje!

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 ...

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 ...
