At school, children will listen to a story read aloud, pausing at the ending to spark their imagination. They will be invited to think creatively and describe a new ending for the story aloud. 

At home, children can share the story they heard at school with their family. They can imagine and tell a new ending aloud, then draw their alternative ending on paper.

En la escuela, los niños explorarán la pregunta: “¿Qué aventuras pueden esconderse en las sombras?” Observarán diferentes formas e imágenes proyectadas y usarán su imaginación para pensar en lo que podría estar sucediendo. La maestra primero presentará y modelará una pequeña obra de teatro de sombras para mostrarles cómo pueden crear y contar una historia. Luego, los niños tendrán la oportunidad de participar y presentar su propia historia utilizando las sombras. Durante la actividad, describirán sus ideas en voz alta, practicando la narración de historias y ampliando su vocabulario.

En casa, su hijo/a explorará la pregunta: “¿Qué aventuras pueden esconderse en las sombras?” Juntos podrán observar diferentes formas o imágenes creadas con sombras y usar la imaginación para pensar en lo que podría estar sucediendo. Primero, un miembro de la familia puede modelar una pequeña obra de teatro de sombras para demostrar cómo crear y contar una historia usando sombras. Luego, su hijo/a podrá crear y presentar su propia historia utilizando una linterna y objetos o sus manos. Durante la actividad, anime a su hijo/a a describir sus ideas en voz alta, practicar la narración de historias y usar nuevo vocabulario.

At school, children will explore a story through pictures. Each child will have a picture to observe quietly. They will measure parts of their drawing using paper strips, blocks, or rulers. 

At home, children can explore a story using a picture of themselves, a family member, or a favorite character. They can observe the picture quietly and imagine what happened before and what might happen next. You can ask your child to measure parts of their drawing using a ruler, string, or paper strips. This helps them practice creativity, storytelling, and basic measurement skills.

At school, children will go on an adventure by creating their own story. They will get a picture of themselves or a friend and glue it onto paper and they will share their story with the class.

At home, children can continue their adventure by drawing a picture of themselves or their family on a new adventure. They can tell the story of what is happening in their picture and share it with their family. This helps them practice creativity, storytelling, and talking about their ideas.

This week, the children will help create a "relaxation station" - a calm-down space in the classroom to be a cozy area where they can go to relax and manage their emotions. They will explore different items like sensory tools, pillows, and books, discuss which ones help them feel calm, and choose items to include in the space. The activity will also include singing a calm-down song, helping the children practice self-regulation in a fun and supportive way.

You can create a similar relaxation station at home by setting up a small cozy area with pillows, books, or sensory items that help your child feel relaxed. Encourage your child to choose the items they like best and practice using the space when they feel upset or need a quiet moment. Singing a favorite calming song together can also help them self-regulate.
