Arco iris

Great month and great topic, talk about colors it is just an amazing challenge because all the tools and ideas that can be use to help the children to recognize, identify and learn them.

And that’s how was made it:

 The children started working matching colors cards and then they made their own booklet about primary colors Amarillo, azul y rojo 

  Then we worked together mixing to discover new colors, that’s how we created:   

 naranja, verde y morado.

 After that some songs, books and games were enough to learn café, rosado, gris, negro y blanco

And finally to close the topic nothing better than a coloring page to review all what we learned during the month and  see “el arco iris de colores “.

So now that you know how we made it don’t forget to help practicing and keep learning together at home.

Hasta luego,

UNO, DOS Y TRES… READY TO COUNT

The days are passing by and new topics and vocabulary are coming for our Spanish class. And now is time for counting, an incredible experience that open a big door of communication in our lessons because now everybody is ready to answer simple questions like: How old are you?, How many people are in the classroom? and also now we have a great tool to work in the calendar.

Numbers in our Spanish class are more than memorizing about getting the concept and to be ready to count and recognize symbols. And fortunately for the class the children are ready with the use of some of the math Montessori material which makes possible bring it to our classes and use it to apply and reinforce all what we are learning.

Finally don’t forget that this topic is going be worked and is going to grow thru the year with different materials and activities, so get ready to keep counting and having fun with your child and the Spanish class.

And for the new ones there is a sticky song that can helps with your counting

HOLA , welcome to the spanish class.

My name is Mrs. Romero and this year I'm going to keep working, having fun and growing with your children.

After many years of experience with preschoolers I know how important is for them to have a rich and productive environment that challenge their minds and encourage them to learn and grow in all senses.  That's why this year the Spanish program seeks to continue working on it, giving daily a new experience to talk and many, many Spanish vocabulary to learn, through different materials, books, songs and always supported by the Montessori philosophy and all the great ideas of the little ones.

So welcome back to the school and let's work together to make this year unforgettable.

See you soon,

Mrs Romero Spanish Specialist
