The kids were busy with a variety of other activities as well: doing puzzles, engaging with books, painting, working with clay, meeting Sra. Foreman, and putting on a play of Los Tres Cerditos (The Three Little Pigs)! The kids enthusiastically played the parts of the 3 pigs and the big bad wolf. We ended the week with Sra. Lindsey's class, where our kids listened to a readers' theater, put on by the teachers!
la silla - the chair grupo - group leer - to read
el libro - the book colorear - to color las manos - hands
Reading aloud to children is one of my passions. My favorite moments of the day are watching children get lost in a story as they lean forward, waiting anxiously to see what will happen next, gasping or laughing at the surprises as I turn the pages. This week's favorite story was Presiona Aquí (Press Here) by Hervé Tullet. It is a story about a simple yellow dot. With a tap, a shake, and some applause the yellow dot multiplies, moves, and grows. This book is a hit with young readers!
