THE PRESENTATION SCHOOL

Kindergarten will finish the year reviewing and adding to existing vocabulary. We will review numbers and colors while adding shapes, clothes and more adjectives. Kinders have played "Simón Dice" (Simon Says), but we will move into using TPR as a listening and vocabulary building exercise. TPR stands for Total Physical Response. The teacher uses commands to teach vocabulary. Students demonstrate understanding of the commands through body movement. For example, the teacher might say, "Salta tres veces." Students would show they understand the command by jumping three times. » read more...
