We have had another great week in Kindergarten! This week we had barn chores, completed our MAP testing (I've seen a lot of growth over the year!), and enjoyed a fun activity with our buddy class. It is so fun to celebrate all we have learned this year!
Here is more about what we've been learning this week:
Reading / Lectura: We have been studying the syllables with ll (in Spanish it makes the /y/ sound): lla, lle, lli, llo, llu. We've also been working on using the phrases me gusta (I like) and me encanta (I love), which are sometimes a bit confusing for kids learning Spanish.
Writing / Escritura: This week we continued working on our nonfiction animal books. Our books contain a table of contents and four subtopics about the animals we researched. It is incredible to see how well the kids are writing!
Math / Matemáticas: We have been exploring 3D shapes this week, building objects, describing their location, and comparing solid and flat shapes.
Science / Ciencias: We continued to learn about living and nonliving things this week. We learned how living things, or seres vivos, have certain things in common: they need air, water, and food; they grow and change; they reproduce; they move.
