¡Hola Familias!

Here we are in our last full week of kindergarten! It's definitely a bittersweet time for me as I say goodbye to this sweet group of kids--we have had such a great year together! There have been lots of fun moments and excitement this week as we celebrate all our accomplishments this year.

This week we had a fun Field Day on Wednesday with beautiful weather! We also had a sweet celebration with all of the Spanish Immersion classes on our walk to Wendt Park today. We are so, so thankful for God's faithfulness throughout this year.

Here are a few more updates:

Reading / Lectura: This week we reviewed las vocales y los consonantes (vowels and consonants). We're also discussing characters--what they do, say, and how they feel and why.

Writing / Escritura: We have been writing about our opiniones this week! The kids have been writing and sharing their opinions using the important word porque (because).

Math / Matemáticas: This week we did a few more activities practicing the numbers 1-100! We are also exploring 3D and 2D shapes.

Bible / Biblia: We completed our Faith Writing--which goes in the kids' file until they graduate--writing about our favorite story from the Bible. It was cool to hear about all the kids' ideas!

Immersion Tip of the Week

Is your child reading in English yet? Remember that immersion kids may learn to read in English at different times, so he/she might or might not feel ready for this. Encourage your child to follow along with you as you read, to finish a sentence on a page, or just talk about what you're reading together. Your child will love this!

Reading Tip of the Week

Keep reading over the summer, in both English AND Spanish! I encourage you to check out Herrick Library's Spanish section--they have a lot of good fiction and nonfiction books to choose from, as well as Vox books that your child can listen to. You may also hold on to any paper books that you think your child will reread over the summer. Finally, your child can still use the Raz-Kids app, so take advantage of that great digital resource!
