Children are learning to recognize the letters and sounds in their names through songs, games, writing their names, and playful literacy experiences. They will explore how letters and sounds work together while building confidence in identifying and saying the letters in their own names and their classmates’ names.

Invite your child to practice recognizing the letters and sounds in their name by pointing out letters during daily activities, singing alphabet songs, and playing simple games such as finding the first letter of their name. You can also invite your child to practice writing or building their name with magnetic letters or other playful materials.

Los niños explorarán sonidos, animales y creatividad al crear un objeto musical utilizando materiales reciclados. Identificarán y describirán sonidos de animales, experimentarán con diferentes materiales y representarán animales a través del arte y el juego imaginativo mientras fortalecen sus habilidades de lenguaje oral y comunicación.

Invite a su hijo/a a escuchar e imitar sonidos de animales durante el juego o mientras leen cuentos juntos. También puede motivar a su hijo/a a crear objetos musicales simples utilizando materiales reciclados en casa y conversar sobre los sonidos que producen y a qué animal les recuerdan.

Children will explore positional words and spatial awareness by listening to sounds and identifying where they are coming from. Through movement games and sound activities, they will practice concepts such as in front, behind, beside, near, and far while connecting sound with movement in a fun and engaging way.

Invite your child to listen carefully to sounds around the house and describe where they are coming from using positional words such as in front, behind, beside, near, and far. You can also play simple listening games by making sounds from different areas and encouraging your child to guess the direction of the sound.

Children will explore and compare sounds found in nature by listening carefully, collecting natural materials, and investigating the different sounds they can make. They will describe sounds as loud, soft, strong, or gentle while developing observation, listening, and comparison skills through hands-on exploration.

Invite your child to listen to sounds in nature during a walk or outdoor playtime. Encourage them to explore and compare sounds made by leaves, sticks, grass, or stones and talk about which sounds are loud, soft, crunchy, or gentle. You can also invite your child to imitate nature sounds and describe which sound they like best and why.

In this lesson, children will discuss what it means to feel scared and brainstorm ways to respond when they feel scared. We will practice recognizing the emotion of feeling scared through facial expressions, pictures and a puppet show. Together we will all practice ways to calm down to make ourselves feel better when feeling scared. 

Read stories about characters who feel scared. Talk about the reasons for their feelings and ask children to explain what the characters do to feel better again.
