It's been an exciting week in the classroom! We have enjoyed looking for a mischievous little duende (elf) who hides in different places every day and leaves messages for the kids! We've also spent time working, playing, acting, and praying together as we celebrate diciembre and the birth of Jesus. Please read below for an update on our week, and make sure to check out ALL of our important announcements and upcoming events!
Our Week
Bible
In Biblia, we have started to learn about the main characters in the Christmas story--María, José, el ángel, and el bebé Jesús. We made puppets and acted out some of the parts of the story, imagining how María felt when she was visited by el ángel and remembering how María y José looked and looked for a place to stay until they finally found el establo. It is amazing and humbling to imagine our almighty God coming to earth to be born in the lowest of circumstances, in the form of a tiny, helpless baby. Our God is awesome!
Reading
Writing
In writing, we've been practicing using adjetivos (adjectives) and sustantivos (nouns). We read funny stories and wrote our own sentences imitating the book. We've also been practicing using our sound chart to write words and using spaces between our words so we can read what we've written.
Math
Reading Tip of the Week
Make reading time fun by having a puppet read to your child, or read with a favorite stuffed animal or while cuddling in a blanket. This is especially fun on cold, gray December days!
Immersion Tip of the Week
Remember that your child's reading skills WILL develop in English, even though there is no English reading instruction in the classroom. Help your child do this by reading a lot at home and engaging your child in conversation!
Upcoming Events/Announcements:
*Class Christmas Party: Our class party will be on Thursday, December 20th from 2-3pm. In addition to the food we will enjoy together as families, please have your child bring in a wrapped, $3 gift for a gift exchange. (Boys will give to boys and girls will give to girls.) I look forward to this time of fun and fellowship together!
*Lunch Duty Signup: If you are available on Wednesdays during lunchtime, please consider helping with lunch duty so I can attend my weekly grade-level meetings. Our calendar is looking a little empty for the weeks after Christmas!
*Christmas Gifts: I am beyond thankful for all of my students and for you, my SI families--you're an amazing group! If you were thinking of giving me a Christmas gift, I would like to suggest that you check out my Amazon wish list, donate books to our classroom, or give a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to help me continue to do my best in developing our SI program. ¡Muchas gracias!
Enjoy our photos below. Have a fantastic weekend. ¡Adios!
