Preschool News Week 30

This week we continued working with animals and their habitats. We learned about the animals that live in the jungle. There are millions of animals living in the world’s jungles, also known as tropical rain forests. The kiddos learned that many animal species live in the jungle (mammals, birds, insects, amphibians and reptiles). In addition, they learned that the world contains many different jungles or rain forests, and the list of jungle animals would be different for each jungle. However, the kiddos learned the most common animals  such as, elephant, tiger, lion, rhinoceros, monkey, kangaroo, giraffe, snake, crocodile, bear, owl, hippopotamus. We did beautiful animal projects on lions, owls, bears, and elephants.

We incorporated our touch investigation with the letter/letra Ww. The kids practice handwriting in paper and we used corn flour using our finger and to draw it. We sang songs, read a book of the letter Ww, and recognized the letter in our daily reading. The English letter Ww can be pronounced (debel-iu). While the Spanish pronunciation is (doble u). Example, Washington/Washington, waffle/waffle, waterpolo/water polo.

This week we worked with number 17. We had a fun time playing and using some items to sort and count. Sorting helps children see differences and similarities. We used colors goldfish and Duplo Blocks for these activities.
