We had a super fun and busy week of school! We celebrated our High School student helper Renna on her last day; we planted flowers in our macetas with our Kindergarten friends and enjoyed God's beautiful creation; we enjoyed eating tacos y quesadillas and searching for different items at Taquería y Tienda Azteca, and more! I also enjoyed seeing many of you (and many siblings) at the parade on Thursday, which was fun for everyone!
Here is more about what we've been learning this week:
Reading / Lectura: We have been studying the syllables with ch: cha, che, chi, cho, chu. We've also been practicing reading sentences with different end punctuation, such as un signo de exclamación (exclamation point) or punto (period).
Math / Matemáticas: We have started learning about 2- and 3-dimensional shapes and how they are similar/different. It is exciting to hear the kids using a lot of Spanish as they identify and describe new shapes!
Bible / Biblia: This week in Bible we started learning about Jesus' life and ministry on earth, focusing on the words milagros (miracles) and parábolas (parables). We also learned how Jesus chose his twelve discípulos to be his helpers, and how we, too, can be disciples when we follow Jesus' teachings.
Science / Ciencias: We have enjoyed watching (some of) our seeds grow! We're also comparing how seeds grow when planted in soil, sand, and pebbles.
¡Gracias!
