In English literacy, we focus on vocabulary and sequencing to describe the cooking process step by step. Students learn to use words like first, next, then, and finally, as well as terms like ingredients, mix, measure, and decorate. 

This approach helps them organize actions logically, improving both language skills and their ability to explain each step clearly.

At home, prepare food together with your child and describe the process as you go. This will help reinforce the vocabulary they are learning and help them practice using it in context.

Encourage your child to describe what they are doing as well. Using words like "First," "Then," and "Finally" will help them practice sequencing and build their language skills in a fun and engaging way.

At school, children will focus on the "B" sound in Spanish words. This activity helps children recognize sounds, improve articulation, and enhance language retention.

At home, you can support your child’s practice with the "B" sound by encouraging them to find foods that start with the letter "B." For example, you could talk about "banana," "bread," "broccoli," or "blueberries." Have your child repeat the words after you, focusing on the "B" sound at the beginning of each word. You can also make a fun game by asking them to sort pictures of foods into "B" and “other sounds”.

Students will practice their counting and shape identification skills while using shapes to create different foods. They will keep track of how many shapes they use by using tally marks or circles. This will help reinforce their understanding of numbers, enhance their counting accuracy, and develop their ability to organize and represent information visually.

At home, you can help reinforce these skills by creating simple shape-based activities with your child. For example, ask them to find different shapes around the house or use items like blocks or pasta to create their own designs. As they count the shapes they use, encourage them to keep track by drawing tally marks or circles. This will support their counting abilities and organizing information.

Students will be making frozen fruit pops. They will explore the process of freezing and how different liquids and fruits can be combined to create a tasty treat. As they make their pops, students will learn about the science behind freezing, how liquids change into solids, and the different textures and flavors that result from freezing fruits. This fun experiment will help them understand basic scientific concepts in a creative and enjoyable way!

At home, you can make frozen fruit pops together with your child. Let them choose different fruits and liquids, like juice or yogurt, and talk about what happens when the mixture is frozen. You can ask simple questions like, "What do you think will happen if we put this in the freezer?" or "How does it feel before and after freezing?" This fun activity will help them understand the process of freezing and how things change when they get really cold, all while enjoying a tasty treat!

Stereotypes, or beliefs based on group, are often used to interpret and predict others’ behavior. Tigers will learn they can learn strategies to reflect on the accuracy of these beliefs and foster increased understanding of variability and similarities within social groups. In this lesson, students will reframe stereotypes with the phrasing “some do____” and “some don’t____.”

If learners make stereotyped comments, turn the discussion back with a general example and the language: some do… some don’t; some are… some aren’t; sometimes you do… sometimes you don’t.
