Week of January 4^th – January 8^th

Theme of the week: “Means of transportation” Medios de transporte

Hola Osito Parents,

Through this learning unit we want to continue with the recognition of all the means of transportation that are helpful and needed by the community. We’ll refer specifically to the means of transportation and communication.

So we've created experiential activities and projects so that children can have a closer relationship and knowledge of the means of land, air, and sea transport. We’ll also discuss communication means, whether they’re used daily, for personnel training, or by their community.

The value will be working: Diversity.

Canción

A VOLAR

Vamos volando en un avión

Y al ver por la ventana vemos las nubes pasar

Volando en un avión

A una enorme altura nos vamos a pasear

Desde mi ventana las alas puedo ver

Y  allá abajo otras cosas también.

Los autos y edificios muy pequeños son

Y me hacen sentir que muy alto estoy.

Es muy divertido un avión pilotear

Y cuando sea mayor eso voy a estudiar

Por ahora me conformo con solo jugar

A salvo de tormentas que me puedan dañar.

Poesía 1

Son muchos los medios de locomoción

Los hay terrestres

Como el camión

Otros son acuáticos

Como el gran vapor

Y de los aéreos

El mayor de todos

Es el avión

Poesía 2

Quiero un barco de colores

Un avion para volar

Una moto de carreras

Y un gran autocar

Para ir con mis amigos

Por el cielo y por el mar

Y por la tierra redondita

Muchas vueltas dar.

Poesía 3 Proyecto de Arte

El mundo de colores

Quiero pintar

Azul el cielo

Roja la flor

Amarillo el sol

Y verde la flor

Adivinanza 1

Va por el cielo

Como ventarrón

Lleva pasajeros

Y anda a motor

    El avión

Adivinanza 2

Tiene motor, cuatro ruedas

Ventanillas sin cortinas

Un timón negro y también una bocina

     El carro

Trabalenguas

Corre corre rapidito

Solo para en la estación

Corre corre rapidito

Que el tren ya te dejó.

 Poesía

Yo soy un indiecito
Orgulloso de mi raza
Uso plumas de colores
Y lanza para la caza.

Remando voy en mi balsa
Para buscar alimentos
Sabrosos peces y frutas
Aves que me trae el viento.

Adivinanza 1
Soy una hortaliza anaranja y sabrosa
En ocasiones me dibujan muy tenebrosa
 La calabaza

Trabalengua
Señora compre coco
No compro coco porque como poco
Como poco
Coco compro
