What’s Happening in KG
In KG, students continue to make connections to mathematical concepts such as shape and space, number, and patterns, through play centers.
Students have also begun adding data about themselves on a classroom graph showing what fruits they like to eat.
In Kindergarten we have been exploring our creativity and fine motor skills through literacy activities.
We are writing stories and illustrating ideas in our own booklets.
It’s been wonderful to see students being open-minded and playing with new friends, challenging themselves, and trying new centers.
Unit of Inquiry #3 – Family Histories
One of the stories we have been reading this week is I Love Saturdays Y Domingos by Alma Flor Ada.
“Saturdays and Sundays are very special days for the child in this story. On Saturdays, she visits Grandma and Grandpa, who come from a European-American background, and on Sundays — los domingos — she visits Abuelito y Abuelita, who are Mexican-American. While the two sets of grandparents are different in many ways, they also have a great deal in common — in particular, their love for their granddaughter.
While we follow our narrator to the circus and the pier, share stories from her grandparents’ pasts, and celebrate her birthday, the depth and joy of both cultures are conveyed in Spanish and English. This affirmation of both heritages will speak to all children who want to know more about their own families and ethnic backgrounds.”
