Weekly Recap: 01.10.2020

Language & Literacy

Interest in writing is picking up and the children are becoming writing machines! On Monday Liv drew pictures of her friends and family and wrote their names. On Tuesday everyone worked on writing the word “recipe” (for our cooking activity) in their new writing books. The children have been making a lot of progress writing their names as well.

We also worked on letter recognition and letter-sound recognition using magnetic letters and pictures. The children had to put the letters in order and then sound out the name in pictures to match them to their letter.

Math & Spanish & Soccer

This week we made numbers using magna-tiles. The children counted out the number of each shape they needed, and had to practice spatial skills to copy/match the number on the paper.

We also played the prediction game this week. Instead of counting in English, we counted in Spanish. Next week we will add addition/subtraction to the prediction game!. I’ll also be introducing the children to the number line.

Since were on a Spanish roll, we continued practicing during soccer with our new coach, Coach Pyjamas! We learned that soccer in Spanish is fútbol.

In Spanish, we met our new teacher, Raquel. The children had a great time dancing to a new song and really enjoyed the way Raquel interacted with them.
