We have caterpillars! We've been observing our caterpillars as they grow and reading lots of non-fiction books to learn about them. We journaled something that caterpillars/butterflies can do.  They are now in the pupa stage. We are patiently waiting as they hatch :) 

We created pattern "orguas" (caterpillars).

In Spanish, we continue to build our Spring vocabulary words. We use sign language with each word, as a strategy to help recall vocabulary.

- la mariquita (ladybug)
- la mariposa (butterfly)
- el abejorro (bumble bee)
- la oruga (caterpillar)
- el conejo (rabbit)
- el sol (sun)
- la flor (flower) 
- el nido (nest)
- el árbol (tree)

This week, we drew four different kinds of Spring insects, of different numbers. We are working on adding sentences in English and Spanish, using some new sight words, like, "I see..."

In math, we made ice cream scoops with combinations of 10, using 2 or 3 different flavours - chocolate, vainilla (vanilla) and fresa (strawberry).

We've been learning lots about Indigenous peoples' connection to nature. We have learned that the buffalo is a symbol of respect. This week, we went on a Spring (primavera) walk around the school. We journaled a way that we can show respect towards nature, and we also journaled signs of Spring.

We rotated through some math/literacy/fine motor/Spanish centers. 

Spring patterns

Spring Lego creations

Making CVC words

Spring plasticine 

We are learning some Spring vocabulary words (listed below). Each word uses sign language to go along with it (except for ladybug, which we made our own action):

- la mariquita (ladybug)
- la mariposa (butterfly)
- el abejorro (bumble bee)
- la oruga (caterpillar)

Below are a couple Spring songs to go along with our newly learned vocabulary.

Mariposa, mariquita, abejorro

La mariquita

We continue to practice the following sight words: the, in, it, is, a. We just introduced and, to.
