Aqua, Aire, Luz
This week we were worked with the air topic. The kiddos loved this topic!!! We talked about how air is all around us, but that we cannot see it. I Explained to them that seeing the tree move was only the result of the air, or fast-moving air called “wind,” blowing against it. As well they learned that the air is very important to humans, animals, and plants. We read the book “El Aire”. After reading the story, we experimented with objects. Our own light wind (our breath) could blow and things our wind could not blow. First, we made predictions as to which objects the wind could blow or could not blow. Then we tested our predictions. The kiddos loved these activities. They were exited to see how they did blowing things like pompoms, balls, and feathers.
Letras
This week we went over the letters Ss /la letra Ss. Be sure to point out the letter that we practice when you are reading. The English letter Zz. These can be pronounced in English Z(zi). While the Spanish pronunciation is Z (zeta, sounds like “s”). Examples:
zapato/shoe
zorro/fox
zorrillo/skunk
We were sang songs and did different activities related to the letter Z. This letter is often written backwards so extra practice forming the letter in writing and with objects is always good!
Numbers
This week we started working with number 19. We had a fun time playing and using some sorted and counted items to help us. We used our week topic to do different activities. Our activities help the kiddos practice counting and with their number recognition.
