10-14 de mayo

¡Hola Familias!


What a beautiful week it's been! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty ready to finally ditch my wool socks and get out my sandals again. :) Looks like we're getting pretty close!

We have had a wonderful week in school as well, with lots of learning and fun! Here's what we've been doing...

Reading / Lectura: This week we've been learning about the letter "rr", or "doble erre", and distinguishing between this sound and the shorter Spanish "r" sound. We've also been practicing the phrase A mí me gusta, which means "I like...".

Writing / Escritura: We have finished up our nonfiction unit and have started practicing opinion writing this week. We started the week by learning the difference between hecho (fact) and opinión (opinion), and then we practiced speaking and writing about our opinions using the word porque (because) to give reasons.

Math / Matemáticas: In math this week, we've been working on comparing numbers using the words mayor y menor (greater and less). We've also been doing lots of review with parts of numbers and solving number stories.

Bible / Biblia: We are starting to learn about Jesus' parábolas! This week we learned about the parable of la casa en la roca y la casa en la arena (the house on the rock and the house on the sand) and el been samaritano (the Good Samaritan). The kids enjoy learning these familiar stories in Spanish! :)


Immersion Tip of the Week

Make a connection with our Bible lesson this week. Can you find one of Jesus' parables in a Bible you have at home? Have your child tell you what he/she remembers about the story. Read the story again together, either in Spanish or in English!

Reading Tip of the Week

You should be SO proud of your child for how much growth he/she has made this year, both in Spanish AND in reading! Have your child "show off" to you by reading some book bag books in Spanish sometime this weekend. Give your child lots of praise for great work!

We're Bringing Back the Book Fair to Support our Students' Reading AND our Media Center! 

Parents, you may click on this link to shop online throughout the entire week of May 17th thru May 22. The Book Fair will be set up outside for parents to shop on Thursday May 20th & Friday May 21st from 11:30 - 4:00. We hope to see you there! 


That's all for now! Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!
