Children will learn and practice positional words (such as in, on, under, next to, besides, between) by finding objects around the classroom and describing where they are. They will then draw what they found and where it was. This helps them connect language to real-life objects, build vocabulary, and strengthen their observation and speaking skills.

Try a fun “Treasure Hunt” at home! You can hide small objects or toys and give your child clues using positional words “It’s next to the couch,” “It’s under a pillow,” “It’s behind the door.” Encourage your child to listen carefully and use the clues to find the hidden object. Then let your child take a turn hiding the treasure and giving you positional word clues. This playful game reinforces vocabulary and helps children use positional language in real-life situations.

Los niños crearán diferentes figuras geométricas usando palillos y plastilina para unir los extremos. Después, identificarán cuántas esquinas tiene cada figura, cómo es su forma y buscarán en el aula objetos que coincidan con esa misma figura.

Pueden seguir explorando formando figuras con palillos, sorbetes o pajillas, bloques o incluso lápices. También pueden buscar en casa objetos con formas geométricas y nombrarlas juntos.

Children will measure a variety of animal figures using Unifix cubes. They will line up the cubes carefully, practicing one-to-one correspondence, counting, cardinality, and developing sequence as they count each cube in order. As they measure, children will compare animals identifying which ones are longer, shorter, bigger, or smaller. After measuring and comparing, they will talk about their findings.

Invite your child to measure small objects around the house using any repeatable item like blocks, bottle caps, or even spoons. Encourage them to compare objects by asking questions such as, “Which one is longer?” “Which is shorter?” “How many blocks long is your toy car?” Support them as they line up the items and count in order, helping them strengthen sequencing, comparison, and counting skills.

Children will explore a variety of animal figures and observe their physical characteristics. They will compare animals by looking closely at how big, small, long, or short each one is. As they compare, children will also learn about the environments animals need to live. For example, a giraffe’s long neck helps it reach tall trees for food, while a zebra’s shorter size is perfect for grazing on grass. These observations help children understand how animals’ bodies match their habitats and needs.

You can continue this learning by exploring animals in books, toys, or daily life. Ask your child questions like: “Which animal is bigger?” “Which is smaller?” “Why do you think this animal is tall/short/long?” Encourage them to talk about where each animal lives and what it needs from its environment. This helps your child make connections to the world, understand habitats, and build early Social Studies and science thinking.

This week, the Tigers will focus on practicing how to use different voice levels appropriately in a variety of situations, learning when it is best to speak softly, normally, or loudly, and understanding how their voice can help them communicate respectfully and effectively with others

Friends and learners could practice at home by noticing when it’s best to speak softly, normally, or loudly, and by thinking about how their voice can help them communicate respectfully and effectively with others.
