At school, students are playing a fun bingo game to spot and say new vocabulary words. They listen carefully and match the words to the pictures on their cards. Talking about the words and pictures with friends helps them learn and remember these new words.

At home, you can help your child by saying the new words together and looking for them in books or around the house. Try playing simple games like “I Spy” using these words. This makes learning fun and helps your child remember new vocabulary.

En la escuela, los niños están jugando “Pescando Rimas” y otros juegos para practicar escuchar rimas y los sonidos iniciales de las palabras. Usan tarjetas con imágenes o palabras que riman o que comienzan con el mismo sonido, haciendo que el aprendizaje sea divertido y atractivo. Estas actividades ayudan a los niños a escuchar y reconocer los diferentes sonidos que forman las palabras.

En casa, puedes jugar juegos sencillos de rimas con tu hijo o escuchar juntos palabras que empiecen con el mismo sonido durante las rutinas diarias. Intenta decir dos palabras y preguntar si riman, o busca objetos en la casa que comiencen con un sonido en particular. Estas actividades divertidas hacen que el aprendizaje sea agradable y ayudan a tu hijo a ser más consciente de los diferentes sonidos en el lenguaje.

At school, the children will explore measuring as they observe their bean plants growing. They will use simple tools like rulers or counting cubes to see how tall their plants are getting, and magnifying glasses to look closely at the details of leaves and stems. The children will talk about which plants are taller or shorter and notice changes in the size of leaves and stems.

At home, you and your child can measure your own plants together using items like a ruler, string, or even blocks to see how tall the plants are growing. You can use a magnifying glass to look closely at the leaves and stems, talk about what you notice, and describe any changes. Counting the number of leaves or comparing which plant is taller or shorter are simple ways to practice math skills. These activities make learning fun and help children use math words like bigger, smaller, longer, and shorter in everyday life.

At school, students are looking closely at different leaves and noticing how they are the same or different in shape, size, and color. They use their finger muscles to grip, squeeze, and feel the leaves. 

At home, you can collect a few leaves together and encourage your child to compare them, asking questions like, “Which leaf is bigger?” or “What colors do you see?” This helps your child build language skills and learn to notice details in the world around them.

Growth mindset promotes motivation, perseverance, and resilience. In this lesson, we will read the book “The Bubblegum Brain”, Tigers will think and talk about one way they have changed learning that just because they cannot do something yet, does not mean they will never do it. 

Have conversations usign these questions: Do you remember when you learned to do something new, like open your lunchbox or do pinch pinch pull? How did you feel? What’s something new you learned today?

What’s something you worked hard at today?

What did you try today that was new or different?
