Children are listening closely to the beginning sounds in words as they explore the classroom, finding objects and matching them to letter sounds. They use clues by saying words slowly and identifying sounds like “sss,” “mmm,” or “buh” to explain their thinking and make connections between letters and familiar items.

Children can continue practicing at home by going on a fun “sound hunt” with you! Invite your child to find objects around the house and say their names slowly, listening for the beginning sound (for example, “b-b-ball” or “sss-spoon”). You can talk together about the sounds you hear and help your child match them to letters they know. This playful activity supports their listening skills and helps them make connections between sounds and letters in a meaningful way.

Los niños escuchan atentamente los sonidos que producen diferentes objetos al agitarse y los comparan para encontrar cuáles suenan igual. Utilizan pistas auditivas como la intensidad del sonido (suave o fuerte) y la atención cuidadosa para explicar sus ideas y hacer conexiones entre sonidos similares.

En casa, pueden continuar practicando esta experiencia de forma divertida con una “búsqueda de sonidos”. Invite a su hijo/a a explorar diferentes objetos del hogar que hagan sonido (como arroz, frijoles o pasta dentro de recipientes) y a agitarlos lentamente para escuchar con atención. Pueden intentar encontrar cuáles suenan igual, comparando los sonidos juntos. Esta actividad fortalece la atención, la discriminación auditiva y la memoria de una manera lúdica y significativa.

Children are listening carefully to short sound patterns and using movement or instruments to recreate them in the correct order. They focus on sequencing by identifying what comes first, next, and last, and explain their thinking by recalling the order of sounds they heard, such as a clap, bell, or tap.

At home, you can continue this activity by creating simple sound patterns for your child using claps, taps, or household items like a spoon or table. Play a short sequence of 2–3 sounds and invite your child to repeat it in the same order. Ask questions like “What came first?” or “What sound came next?” This playful activity helps strengthen memory, attention, and early sequencing skills in a fun and meaningful way.

Children are exploring how sound can change depending on materials and water levels by using jars filled with different amounts of water. They carefully observe, listen, and compare the sounds each jar makes when gently tapped, noticing how some sounds are high or low, loud or soft. They also begin to understand patterns by following and creating simple “sound songs” using colored sequences.

At home, you can recreate this experience using clear containers or glasses filled with different amounts of water. Invite your child to gently tap each container with a spoon and listen to the different sounds. Ask questions like “What do you notice?” or “Do they sound the same or different?” You can also create simple patterns (for example: glass A – glass B – glass A) and have your child repeat them like a sound song. This activity supports curiosity, observation, and early scientific thinking in a fun and meaningful way.

Children will practice recognizing what their bodies feel like when they are angry or mad, they will also practice how taking deep breaths can help us feel calm when we feel mad. 

When a child is experiencing strong emotions, guide them to noticing what they look like and how they can go from mad to calm by breathing slowly.
