Learning Goal
Fortalecer la comprensión lectora y el reconocimiento del sonido de Bb y Jj
Durante esta semana, los lectores practican la estrategia de volver a contar, fortaleciendo la comprensión de la historia a través de la observación de imágenes y la lectura del texto. Se trabajará la identificación del personaje principal, el lugar donde ocurre la historia y los hechos más importantes, respondiendo a preguntas como ¿quién?, ¿dónde? y ¿qué pasó?
Además, se reforzará el reconocimiento y pronunciación del sonido de las consonantes Bb y Jj en palabras sencillas.
En casa pueden leer un libro de su interés con acompañamiento, utilizando las imágenes como apoyo para fortalecer su comprensión. Luego, pueden hacerle preguntas como: ¿quién es el personaje?, ¿dónde ocurrió la historia? y ¿qué pasó?
Les envío algunos libros decodificables para reforzar la práctica en casa. Libro 1. libro 2. libro 3
Learning Goal
We are learning to name coins and know how much each coin is worth.
Playing Money March to practice naming coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter).
Saying how much each coin is worth before moving their game marker.
Playing the game with a partner and taking turns.
Working at Math Work Places to keep practicing coin recognition and value.
Look at real coins and name them together.
Ask your child: “What coin is this?” and “How much is it worth?”
Put a few coins in a row and have your child say their names.
Play a simple game: name the coin correctly to take a step forward.
Sort coins by type (all pennies together, all nickels together, etc.).
Learning Goal
I can tell the difference between things I need and things I want.
Scientists will be able to identify and explain the difference between wants and needs by sorting and discussing everyday items.
Ask your child to walk around the house and pick 6–8 items.
Ex. they might choose: apple, water, bottle, jacket, toy, blanket. Help your child sort the items into two groups: Needs, Wants
