This week we learned about what kind of things help us to get energy. We need to eat healthy food, drinking water and sleep. At art table, the children painted their favorite fruit and vegetables, put mat man together, painted with watercolor and play with play dough. At sensory table, we learned that blood have red blood cells and white blood cells they are not good for our health. They used thongs to pretend to remove white blood cells. At dramatic play, the children continue pretending to be a doctor and patient. It is amazing how the children change roles and help each other to role play different roles. At manipulatives, we continued playing with numbers, shapes, created patterns and making rock patterns.  At blocks, the children continued playing with skeleton and building amazing structures. At science, the children explored vegetables with magnifying glasses and drew pictures of their observations and played with magnets. At literacy table, the children used string letters and spelling words. It was a short week, but full of learning!

 

Esta semana aprendimos qué tipo de cosas nos ayudan a obtener energía. Necesitamos comer alimentos saludables, beber agua y dormir. En la mesa de arte, los niños pintaron sus frutas y verduras favoritas, armaron el tapete, pintaron con acuarela y jugaron con plastilina. En la mesa sensorial aprendimos que la sangre tiene glóbulos rojos y glóbulos blancos que no son buenos para nuestra salud. Usaron tangas para simular que extraían glóbulos blancos. En el juego dramático, los niños siguen haciéndose pasar por médico y paciente. Es sorprendente cómo los niños cambian de roles y se ayudan unos a otros a interpretar diferentes roles. En los manipulativos continuamos jugando con números, formas, creamos patrones y hicimos patrones de rocas. En los bloques, los niños continuaron jugando con esqueletos y construyendo estructuras asombrosas. En ciencias, los niños exploraron verduras con lupas, dibujaron sus observaciones y jugaron con imanes. En la mesa de alfabetización, los niños usaron cadenas de letras y palabras de ortografía. ¡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 ...
