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! ;)

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!
