Feelings finger puppets

I created finger puppets for the following feelings:
Estoy feliz, estoy triste, estoy enojado, estoy asustado, estoy sorprendido.

Shapes cont.

Wednesday we reviewed the shapes learned on Monday and added 3 more shapes for the preschoolers: el rectangulo, el ovalo y el rombo. With the kinders I reviewed all shapes and then we played a shapes board game. Here are some pictures!

Shapes

Today we reviewed colors and numbers then I introduced shapes with the preschoolers: el circulo, el corazon y el cuadrado. I used flashcards cut out in the shape we were learning, made with color construction paper and laminated.
Used 3 period lesson, then looked around the room to find things that have that shape, then we looked at our clothes and found more shapes!
With the kinders we did the same shapes as with the preschoolers but also, el rectangulo, el rombo, el ovalo, el triagulo y la estrella.
With the kinders we also did our "Hoy estoy wall" and the calendar.

Colors and numbers review

Last Wednesday we reviewed colors and numbers. I had labels for each number, from 0-10. The labels had the number symbol in one side and the number word on the other. I use the number symbol with the preschoolers and the word with the kinders.

We taped the papers with the stickers that we did last week (see previous posts) on the wall.

I asked the children to find a color and then count the stickers that color had. Then they had to find the label that match the number of stickers they counted.

Here are the pictures:

Numbers 0-10 book with kinders

Last week the kinders made their own Numbers 0-10 books. We put a sticker for each number. Here is the book:

Numbers - kinders

This week we reviewed numbers from 0-10. We used the big plastic numbers, then we played dominoes to practice counting from 1-10.

We also reviewed 11-15. Some of the kids didn't remember the numbers so we did a 3 part lesson for the ones they couldn't remember.

We will do a 0-10 numbers take home book next week with the stickers. Pictures to come, in the meantime here are my dominoes.

Numbers

I introduced numbers for the preschoolers this week. It was only one class this week due to labor day so we only introduced; cero, uno, dos & tres.

I used big plastic numbers that I found at the dollar store a few years ago, as usual I used the 3 part lesson and hid the one number at a time and asked them which number was missing.

For review we put stickers on color construction paper while practicing the colors introduced last week.

For my older preschoolers that were with me last year we did numbers from 0-10 and put stickers on construction paper. Again, I used different colors of construction paper to practice colors, then, put one sticker in one paper, two in another, and so on until we reached 10. We left one paper empty to represent cero.

I got a bunch of Halloween stickers at Walgreens, here are some pictures.

Numbers with the kinders

Yesterday we reviewed all colors, played pick up sticks and started with numbers.

Now, my kinders already (most of them) know 1-10, so we did a review.

We practiced with the flashcards, using the 3 period lesson. Then, we finished by labeling the numbers.

Also, we reviewed: "cuantos anios tienes?" (sorry, can't find enie :))

Finished colors with preschoolers

Yesterday I finished colors with the preschoolers: blanco, gris and negro. Did the same activities we did with the other colors.

We reviewed all the colors with the flashcards, then asked them again which colors they were wearing (they seem to love!! this activity :)).

We played pick up sticks (I found it last year at the dollar bin at target), it has only four colors but it is good practice for the children. I called a child name, then asked them to find a particular color. At the beginning I helped them if they didn't remember but, towards the end, most of them were finding the color I asked for with no help from me!.
