Week 4 BDLC

This week we continued our work with colors. We played with playdough-- each child received a different colored piece of playdough of varying sizes. We discussed whether our piece was grande (large), chiquito (small) o mediano (medium) as well as what color it was.

El tiempo y la fecha (weather & date)

We begin every class with a discussion of the weather, season & date. Since we only have class twice a week, the important words to learn are: lunes (Monday) and miércoles (Wednesday). So far, our important months are septiembre, octubre, noviembre & diciembre. The different weather conditions that we discuss are: Hace sol (It's sunny), Está nublado (It's cloudy), Está lloviendo (It's raining), Está nevando (It's snowing). Our current season is otoño (fall).

Cuento (story)

This week we began work on Los conejitos de colores (The Color Bunnies), a story about some white bunnies (conejitos blancos) who go out to play. When the winter (invierno) comes & there's snow (nieve) on the ground, their mother can't find them when it's time to come in to dinner. So she decides to paint them lots of different colors. Then when springtime (primavera) comes & the flowers (flores) come out, Mama Conejo can't find them again. So she washes them off and they become white again. This is a never-ending story, so watch out!
