We had a fantastic, snowy week this week! I'm truly thankful for every day that I get to spend with your child in the classroom. I am seeing some amazing growth, great behavior choices, and kind actions and friendships blossoming! It is during this time of the year that we see lots of academic and social progress, and this is worth celebrating!
Here is a snapshot of what we've been up to this week:
Reading / Lectura: We have been studying the syllables with f: fa, fe, fi, fo, fu. The kids have been doing great with their reading centers and guided reading routines. More books are coming home each week--please make sure you're practicing them at home from time to time! :) We've also been learning the difference between los sustantivos (nouns) and los verbos (verbs).
Writing / Escritura: This week we concluded our unit on writing pattern books. The kids made SO much growth as they wrote and shared their own pattern books. We celebrated by reading with our 2nd grade buddy class!
Math / Matemáticas: We are working on seeing teen numbers as a 10 plus more, classifying objects by different characteristics, counting to 100, and of course, practicing our sumas y restas!
Bible / Biblia: This week we learned about los profetas (and other important individuals) who helped los israelitas return to God while they were living in the promised land. Included were the stories of Débora, Gedeón, Sansón, y Rut--can you figure out the names in English? Throughout these stories, we remember God's unfailing love for the Israelites and how He remained faithful to them.
Immersion Tip of the Week
Are you as amazed and excited about your child's learning journey as I am? Tell a friend! Spread the word to help our program continue to grow and thrive in the coming years. Enrollment for preschool and kindergarten begins this Tuesday, February 1st!
Reading Tip of the Week
When reading with your child this week, ask him/her to retell the story to you in order after you finish it. Or, ask: "What happened at the beginning? The middle? The end?" Sequencing and retelling stories are important reading comprehension skills for your child to practice in English AND Spanish!
Class Chapel
I sent home a letter today on yellow paper about our class chapel coming up on Wednesday, February 9th. It will be a wonderful time of worship together!
Lunch Helper next Thursday?
Is anyone available to have lunch with our wonderful class this coming Thursday, February 3rd from 11:55-12:25? If so, let me know! I have a data meeting scheduled for that day.
Maestra Absent
100th Day of School
...is now on Wednesday, February 9th due to our snow day this week! However, we will probably still make our snack mix on Tuesday, February 8th. There are only a couple of spots left if you would like to sign up for any items! Thank you!!
Field Trip to GRCM!
We are going on a field trip to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum! The trip is scheduled for Monday, March 7th. We will leave right at 8:30 in the morning, take a sack lunch there (home lunch only that day please!), and return to school by 1:00 or so. The cost is $10 per student. Please let me know if you would like to come along as a chaperone that day! It should be a great time!
Have a great weekend! Enjoy some more pictures below. See you on Monday!
