During Ss week, many of us wore our favorite hats (sombreros) to school. We celebrated Pp week by making pan (bread) on Wednesday. In the past two weeks we also learned about más and menos (more/less), graphing, and some new math games. We continue to hone our counting and number writing skills. Literacy activities included forming the letters with clay, guessing games, matching upper and lower case letters, tracing the letters, and initial sound sorting.
We drew niños, niñas, patos, perros, and pájaros. We built structures with blocks and craft sticks, and we helped each other to create items with pipe cleaners and tin foil in the Makerspace Lab. In the computer lab, we had the chance to explore the kindergarten literacy sites. We practiced counting on one of our nature walks. We ended the week with a funny story, acted out by Sra. Lindsey and Sra. Wieber.
Lots of photos from the past two weeks:
