Song of the Week (Cancion de la semana):

CANCION DE LAS PLANTAS.
Un día en el parque jugando estaba
Con mis amigos de Sff,
Mire hacia el suelo, vi algo pequeño
La semillita yo vi pasar
Yo la tome con mucho cuidado
Y en una taza con amor la sembré,
Con tierra y agua creció mi plantita
Y muchas flores yo vi nacer.
Cuida tú alrededor,
A las plantitas respeta,
Por un mundo mejor cuida la naturaleza.

 Poem of the week

Mi plantita es muy bonita
Yo la tengo que regar
Cada día crece un poco
Por la luz que el sol le da

Theme of the week “Conociendo los animals” “Knowing animals”

 

Greetings to all Ositos Parents.

We have been working through this month with the topic of animals. This will be the last week of this theme as we are closing with the subject of Insects.  We will explore and observe the habits and homes of insects as this is the largest group of living things.  Parents and teachers have the most influence on children’s attitudes toward learning this type of theme. Early experiences with creepy crawlies encourages calm interest rather than timidity. Awareness of spiders beautiful webs is a helpful ways to overcome fear.

For this reason I have prepared some educational material that is, at the same time, fun for the children using methods such as: reading books, observing living insects deposited under the magnifying glass, and creating our own spider with marshmallows, chocolate, and pretzels. This way children, instead of panicking, will have enthusiasm to learn about these creatures. 

 

Objectives we will be working are as follows: 

 

Language: 

·        Literature – reading books concerning the subject.
·        Flash cards.

Cognitive: 
·        Opened-close questions about the topic.
·        Recognize and write the number 9. 
·        Reading pictures and describing objects. 

Psychomotor: 
·         Tracing the letter Vv.
·         Tracing numbers.

Socio-emotional:  
·         Enjoy songs, poems, and riddles.

Song of the Month/Week (Cancion del mes/semana):
CANCION ANIMALES DE LA SELVA
Los animales que hay en la selva,
Tú los vas repetir,
Algunos gordos otros muy altos
Igual nos vamos a divertir.
El elefante que está muy grande
Y la jirafa que alta es
Y el monito que salta y salta
El cocodrilo… me va a morder
Los animales……
Es un león que esta enojón
Es la serpiente que es muy decente
Y la tortuga come lechuga
Y el ratón (donde está el ratón?)
Ya se escondió.

Un elefante no es elegante
