Greetings dear mothers and fathers, it's another week and here we are my little Rafael and I sharing a new project for the school, it is a family album, this was assigned to him as part of the evaluation of the third term of the first grade of primary school, the theme is the months of the year, but since it is something integral, this activity is assigned to compensate other values and knowledge about the family, by making the child learn birthday information and other information about the members of his family.
Cuando recibimos al asignación, me sentí un poco preocupada porque Rafael realmente tiene un núcleo familiar pequeño, es decir vivimos con él solo mi mamá y yo, por eso se me ocurrió que incluyéramos en el álbum a su mascota Yellow y también a mi hermana y sus dos hijos. Entonces para hacer mejor el álbum decidimos sacar fotos actualizadas de Rafael con cada uno de estos familiares, las editamos en mi teléfono y el mismo Rafael escogió los stickers de figuras para decorarlas, ayer fui a una tienda a imprimir las fotos.
The process started yesterday, many mothers take school assignments as their job, I don't believe in that, I believe that children should prepare most of their project as long as there is no limitation, that's why I organized the white sheets and I was dictating to Rafael all the data that he had to write about the family, as there were seven people including him, he started yesterday and finished copying today, then I was in charge of cutting the sheets of paper with the scissors. I only copied the letters from the cover.
We used a red cardboard for the album cover while for the sheets, we used colored sheets from a construction block, Rafael folded all the sheets in half, then I measured the seam points with the ruler and sewed with a needle and thread. the sheets of paper and cover to form a small book, then I cut a strip of blue construction paper to glue the spine of the book.
Rafael was very anxious to cut the photographs, so I let him do it, it is good that he is exercising his fine motor skills using scissors, because with the pandemic he did not have face-to-face classes in his last two levels of preschool, so he must continue doing activities that allow him to develop his skills and his left hemisphere well. Then he glued the information and photos to the album, then to decorate I used the remains of colored paper to make small circles with a hole punch that Rafael glued one by one on the album pages.
Although Rafael complains a bit when he has to write a lot, this was an activity that he enjoyed and in which he was involved in all parts of the process, so I consider that the objective was completed successfully, for my part I am very happy with Rafael's progress in his writing and besides the fact that he is a child with great manual dexterity.
