6-10 de mayo

¡Hola Familias! 

¡Feliz día de las Madres! In Mexico, Mother's Day is always celebrated on May 10th, while here in the US we celebrate it the second Sunday of May. Whenever you celebrate, I hope all of you moms out there have a wonderful day! :)

We had a great week and it almost felt like we were getting back on a normal schedule today! The week was full of fun events, which I'll try to highlight them below:

*We led our school in worship during Wednesday's chapel service. The kids, as always, did a fantastic job!


*We had a beautiful, Christ-centered field trip to Bill's Greenhouse, where we learned about how God created many different kinds of flowers and completed our Mother's Day presents. (We hope you like them!)

*We enjoyed visitors who talked to us about Ecuador and Puerto Rico, and we got to learn about salsa and mambo music and drink some agua de coco! What a treat!

*We enjoyed watching our first grade friends scrub the streets and perform Dutch dancing!

*We practiced writing about our opiniones and explaining why we prefer one thing to another.

*We practiced forming numbers with decenas (10s) and unidades (1s), telling each other number stories and illustrating them, finding the missing part of a number, and doing lots of sumas y restas!

Immersion Tip of the Week

Listen to some música in Spanish this weekend! We've really enjoyed listening to 123Andrés since going to his concert a few weeks ago. Music is a great way to learn new language!
