¡Hola Familias! 

We made it through another week! It sure is feeling like summer is here. :) We have had a fun and busy week! Here's what we've been up to...

Reading / Lectura: This week we reviewed las vocales (the vowels) and los consonantes (the consonants). It's amazing to see how far the kids have come this year, not only in their reading/writing abilities, but also in their language! I'm so proud of them! We also reviewed the difference between sustantivos (nouns), verbos (verbs), and adjetivos (adjectives). This was tricky, but the kids did a great job!

Writing / Escritura: To continue with our opinion writing unit, we wrote books about our favorite things. The kids LOVED writing about their favorite colors, foods, toys, and more, and telling the class about them!

Math / Matemáticas: This week we continued working on parts of numbers, counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, and 1s, and learned some vocabulary to describe length, height, and weight, including largo/corto (long/short), alto/bajo (tall/short), and pesado/liviano (heavy/light). 

Bible / Biblia: This week in Bible we learned about Jesus' parábolas about the lost sheep (la oveja perdida) and the lost coin (la moneda perdida). We talked about how, in those stories, WE are like the lost objects, and God looks for us until we are found again! I just love hearing how kids love and absorb God's word!

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 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

Speaking of reading, the SI teachers are working on some summer meet-up activities for your child to keep reading in Spanish this summer! Stay posted for more news! :)

Field Trips!

On Thursday, May 27th, all of the Kindergarten classes from Rose Park and South Side will join together at Sassafras Ridge for a celebration! A pizza school lunch will be provided. Would you please fill out this form quickly to let us know how many lunches we should order that day? Thank you!

That's all for now! Have a great weekend and stay cool!

¡Hola Familias!

What a beautiful week it's been! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty ready to finally ditch my wool socks and get out my sandals again. :) Looks like we're getting pretty close!

We have had a wonderful week in school as well, with lots of learning and fun! Here's what we've been doing...

Reading / Lectura: This week we've been learning about the letter "rr", or "doble erre", and distinguishing between this sound and the shorter Spanish "r" sound. We've also been practicing the phrase A mí me gusta, which means "I like...".

Writing / Escritura: We have finished up our nonfiction unit and have started practicing opinion writing this week. We started the week by learning the difference between hecho (fact) and opinión (opinion), and then we practiced speaking and writing about our opinions using the word porque (because) to give reasons.

Math / Matemáticas: In math this week, we've been working on comparing numbers using the words mayor y menor (greater and less). We've also been doing lots of review with parts of numbers and solving number stories.

Bible / Biblia: We are starting to learn about Jesus' parábolas! This week we learned about the parable of la casa en la roca y la casa en la arena (the house on the rock and the house on the sand) and el been samaritano (the Good Samaritan). The kids enjoy learning these familiar stories in Spanish! :)

Immersion Tip of the Week

Make a connection with our Bible lesson this week. Can you find one of Jesus' parables in a Bible you have at home? Have your child tell you what he/she remembers about the story. Read the story again together, either in Spanish or in English!

Reading Tip of the Week

You should be SO proud of your child for how much growth he/she has made this year, both in Spanish AND in reading! Have your child "show off" to you by reading some book bag books in Spanish sometime this weekend. Give your child lots of praise for great work!
