¡Hola Familias!
¡Feliz Navidad! We had such a fun week, between barn chores, a special chapel, our Christmas party, gift exchange, and celebrating today with a movie. As anticipation and excitement fill the air, let's try to pause and remember why we celebrate Christmas. Our Lord and Savior came down to earth, born in to a humble family, in a dirty manger, to live--and die--for us. May we all remember this, God's greatest gift, during this time--and throughout the year.
In the midst of all of our special activities, we've also been doing lots of learning! Here is a brief summary of our week:
Reading / Lectura: We have continued to learn about pattern books. We enjoyed reading and re-reading the book Oso parso, oso pardo, ¿qué ves ahí? (or Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?).
Writing / Escritura: We have been continuing our pattern books--this week, we focused on A mí me gusta (I like...). We practiced writing entire sentences using a pattern, using a capital letter at the beginning, a space in the middle, and a period at the end.
Math / Matemáticas: We completed our Unit 2 test this week, reviewing shapes (including exploring hexágonos), numbers from 1-10, and more!
Biblia: We have been working on memorizing a section of Lucas 2, which tells about how the angels appeared to the shepherds to tell them of the good news of Christ's birth.
Desayuno con Maestra! Breakfast with the Teacher!
I know that January 2024 feels a long way away, but it will be here before we know it! On the morning of Friday, January 19th, I will invite the class to have breakfast... en mi casa! (Yes, at my house!) You will drop off your child at my house in the morning and we will take the bus to school after we finish. Just wanted to put this on your radar--I'll have more information coming soon!
