This week, we practiced counting and recognizing numbers 1-10, counting to 20, we practiced making groups and graphs, and we distinguished between things that are different or the same. We focused on the vowels, differentiating between uppercase and lowercase letters, putting the letters of the alphabet in order, writing the ABCs, and Tucker signing.
In art, we drew, painted, cut, and glued to create self portraits to hang up in our classroom, and we learned how to draw a teddy bear. We had another lesson with Sra. Moore about personal space. She introduced the character of "Space Invader" to the students. This is something that we need to continue to work on as a class, so please ask your child about it at home. During our visit to the Makerspace workshop, we created towers and structures with cups and sticks. We ended the week with talleres and a funny story with Sra. Lindsey's class.
