What a great week! We've been making lots of growth and having fun learning and playing together! As spring break is on the horizon, we have a lot to celebrate together!
Here's what we've been up to this week...
Lectura / Reading: This week we studied the syllables ja, je, ji, jo, ju, as well as ge, gi--all of which make a hard /h/ sound in Spanish. We have also been focusing on the verb estar in Spanish, which is one form of "to be".
Escritura / Writing: We continued our instructivo, or how-to, unit by writing about how to make sandwiches and making chocolate caliente! Now we are starting to think about things we know how to do: build a snowman, draw a house, build a paper airplane, make a s'more, and more!
Math / Matemáticas: This week we have continued practicing the parts of 10, as well as solving number stories, counting to larger numbers, and solving addition and subtraction facts.
Bible / Biblia: We began our huevos de la resurrección (Resurrection Eggs) project this week! Every day we talk about one element of the story of Jesus' resurrection. The kids are excited to work on this as they learn about how much Jesus loves us.
Immersion Tip of the Week
When your child brings home work from school (from any subject), ask him/her to be the "teacher" and tell you about it. Ask questions and let your child be the expert! Show your child how proud and impressed you are by his/her growing language skills.
You already know that reading to your child is critically important, but did you also know that talking to your child is just as important? When we engage in conversation, we model language, taking turns, eye contact, listening behaviors, comprehension, and good manners. Take some time to talk to your child this weekend. Ask about his/her favorite activities in school, games to play on the playground, or just play together!
P/T Conferences
I truly enjoyed meeting with many of you this past Thursday, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with the rest of you this coming Monday! Please let me know if anything changes with your scheduled conference time. We have much to celebrate!
Field Trip to Ramirez Bakery
Next week on Tuesday, we will be visiting Ramirez Bakery to learn about typical Mexican pan dulce, or sweet bread. It will be a fun trip for everyone! Please send $1 with your child that day to "buy" a cookie that he/she will help make! I can also take 2 parent volunteers--let me know if you are interested! We will leave at around 10:20 and arrive back at school around 11:20 or so.
Barn Chores
If you are able to help out with barn chores this coming Tuesday morning, please let me know! I can have 2-3 parent helpers.
Rose Park (rescheduled) Family Festival: The Fall Family Festival has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 18 from 5:30-7.
