PreK español, marzo 2012

After learning color words, PreK classes have moved on to animales.  We have made a list of Room 7´s favorite animals, such as el delfin, el pez, and el tiburon.  We will be using Australia as a jumping off point for Room 8.  The animal unit will also give us the opportunity to learn some verbs such as:

salta/ brinca  jump

corre run

camina  walk

come  eat

nada  swim

duerme  sleep

PreK friends added more words to their color list:  

  • we mixed red and white paint to make rosa (pink) 
  • we used chalk that was blanco (white) to draw on papel negro (black) 
  • we made perro (dog) and gato (cat) puppets using papel marrón (brown) 
  • and we drew a tiburon (shark) on papel gris.

Room 8 finds naranja (orange) objects in the Spanish room.

PreK classes have spent the last week learning the color words ROJO (red), AZUL (blue), AMARILLO (yellow), and VERDE (green). They made estrellas (stars) and flores (flowers) using these colors.

In music the prekindergarten classes are studying musical instruments.  They are able to identify the names of the instruments as well as what family they belong to.  Is the french horn part of the String, Wind or Percussion family?
