It feels like springtime outside! We had a wonderful week together of learning and fun.
Here is what we have been up to this week...
Reading / Lectura: We learned the syllables ra, re, ri, ro, ru this week. We've also been learning about verbs in different forms, such as yo (I), tú (informal you), and nosotros (we). As we read, we have been working on summarizing a story into beginning, middle, and end, as well as talking about how characters feel.
Writing / Escritura: This week we continued talking about los sentimientos, or feelings. The kids drew and wrote about different feelings they've had, describing why they felt that way. It is so fun to hear them express themselves and talk about moments in their lives! We are going to expand on one of their ideas next week.
Math / Matemáticas: We have been working on representing teen numbers using both equations and objects. The kids are getting better at representing and building the numbers from 1-20!
Bible / Biblia: This week we learned more about David, who had un corazón de Dios. We learned how even though David was small, he was brave because he knew that God was by his side. God gave David the ability to defeat the giant Goliat!
Science / Ciencias: We are learning more about force and motion, exploring how when we push an object harder, the object goes faster and farther.
Social Studies / Estudios Sociales: We learned about our 16th president Abraham Lincoln and how he wrote about his feelings. This tied nicely into our unit on sentimientos!
Immersion Tip of the Week
Ask your child to tell you about his/her favorite thing from school today, or any day next week! Talking about what he/she learned with you in English helps reinforce the concepts. Ask questions to encourage your child to provide details!
Reading Tip of the Week
Create a special "reading place" for your child at home with some big pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals. Build a "reading time" into your family routine, both reading with your child or encouraging him/her to read alone!
Sickness & School
We have had so much sickness going around in our classroom (and at school)! Just a reminder that if your child is feeling under the weather, please keep him/her home to avoid spreading this to others. Please reinforce good hygiene as well, including hand washing (we do this often) and covering coughs/sneezes. Also just a reminder that your child must be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school. Together we can kick this sickness!
That's all I have for now--have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy more photos from our week below.
