Como hacer un libro para aprender el nombre y las letras
El libro de Sophia
Sophia, alumna de PreK dual-language de Roosevelt, les quiere mostrar como podemos hacer nuestro libro personalizado.
Con el podemos trabajar con las letras de nuestro nombre, trabajar los sonidos, escribir, dibujar, contar,... y muchas mas cosas.
Comencemos!
Necesitamos papel de cartulina o similar, colores, marcadores o rotuladores, tijeras, pegamento, cinta adhesiva, y otras cosas mas que ustedes quieran usar para decorar.
Para empezar creamos nuestra portada con nuestro nombre y apellidos. Ademas, tambien se les puede anadir una foto. Sophia lo va a hacer en casa (ya mostraremos el resultado final).
Para escribir su nombre Sophia eligio las letras en sellos con la tinta. A continuacion, realizamos nuestro retrato.
Podemos anadir otra informacion personal como la edad y la ciudad donde vives.
Para las letras de su nombre, Sophia elige escribirlas con las letras en sello y la tinta. Y para demostrarnos que ella sabe escribir perfectamente usa tambien los marcadores.
Una vez tenemos las letras, es tiempo de buscar imagenes, dibujos y cosas que empiecen por la misma letra. Por ejemplo, las letras de Sophia son
S
O
P
H
I
A
pues habra que buscar cosas que empiecen por S, por O, por P, por H, por I y por A.
Una vez las tengamos las pegaremos en sus respectivas paginas.
Aqui pueden ver que Sophia encontro un libro de Peppa Pig. Peppa empieza por P, asi que la selecciona para recortarla y pegarla en la pagina de la letra P.
Con esta actividad desarrollan la exploracion y el descubrimiento por saber, nuevo vocabulario, "conciencia fonologica" ya que emparejan las letras iniciales, y diversion durante el aprendizaje (con ella usamos catalogos de juguetes). Aparte de las habilidades lectoescritoras tambien desarrollamos la motricidad fina (recotar) y la coordinacion viso-manual (pegar).
Otra variante puede ser ver el catalogo y seleccionar aquellas cosas que comienzan por su mismo sonido-letra antes de comenzar a hacer el libro (puede servir de motivacion para realizar esta actividad en casa).
Ademas, tambien se puede escribir su nombre (esta actividad fue grabada en clase con un tiempo limitado, en casa pueden realizarla durante dias)
Sophia ya no puede parar de buscar y de aprender!!!

Cuentos de Navidad desde Tocina - Los Rosales (Sevilla, Espana) para los...
Mis companeros de "trabajo-diversion" de los cuentacuentos en Tocina-Los Rosales, Maty-Coleccionista de Cuentos y Manuel, tan geniales como siempre, aceptaron mi invitacion de contar un cuento a mis estudiantes de ingles y espanol de la escuela Roosevelt en Houston ISD.
Esta actividad es parte del proyecto de Navidades alrededor del Mundo: Espana. Mi pais natal fue el elegido en el nivel PreK para aprender sobre la navidad y mis companeros lo hicieron genial, ya que no solo contaron una maravillosa historia-cuento de navidad sino que tambien anadieron villancicos tipicos de nuestro pais.
Aprender un idioma no solo es aprender a hablar, la gramatica o vocabulario sino que los componentes socio-culturales son esenciales para que la comunicacion y el entendimiento sean exitosos. Mil gracias amigos por esta excelente colaboracion!!!!
Felices Fiestas!!!!

Letters and snowballs in Prek
Sophia is writing with snowballs
Our dual-language PreK student Sophia shows us how to write our name with snowballs.
We did this activity when it snowed in Houston. We tried to use some connections to develop literacy.
With the use of white paper, we drew circles (snowballs) and the letters of our name. Then, we ordered them to read our name.
With this activity we developed letters, sounds, writing, fine motor skills, creativity, coordination among many others.
Our PreK students did a great work. We are so proud of them! And we learned another funny thing to do with snow...
Happy winter! ;)

PreK Math online games and apps
Nowadays our students are familiar with the use of technology when studying, that is why teachers may add some activities to work with them (technology and math).
In my dual language PreK Spanish classroom we have two workstations where we can learn math by using technology, and we'd like to share them with you. Online resources can be an engaging and motivating home-extension activity since they can play at home as well, or in anywhere else! ;)
The objective of this game is to learn how to count from 1 to 10.
As an extension activity we can learn vocabulary.
The objective of this game is to learn how to count with animals.
As an extension activity we can create number sets with the repeated animals.
We can do many activities with numbers, shapes, patterns,... for Early Childhood students.
This free Kids Numbers and Math Game for Preschool and Kindergarten children helps learning; how to count, compare, arrange, add, subtract the numbers. Kids will love playing the game with great fun.

Bienvenido diciembre
Every morning we work our calendar as part of the morning message.
We sing a song "Los dias de la semana", our students like it so much! They stop when the name of the day of the week appears, in this case: Friday - Viernes (in Spanish).
This is a good opportunity to learn the days of the week but letters, sounds and early reading and writing as well. Besides, it's another excellent opportunity to work in pairs -bilingual pairs and thinking pairs-. We spell "viernes", letter by letter, we learn about sounds.
At this time we are warming-up our writing skills to be prepared for our journals that's why we do air-writing.
Today, December 1st, 2017, we introduce the month of December too. It's another opportunity to work months of the year.
As part of their language development we sing (it improves their speech articulation and it motivates them since they like singing!!!) and dance (motor skill - body coordination and Total Physical Response).
Let's see what happens next...
Have a good day, friends!
