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!
