Dear Parents,
             We had a very productive Monday!  K-4 and 5 are making excellent progress learning Spanish.  K-5 is working very hard to learn "De Colores."  They are great with the chorus, so far, as well as the parts about how the animals sing that are mentioned in the song.  I know you will enjoy listening to your child sing the song.
K-1 continues to respond well to questions in Spanish.  We reviewed days, months, and the four seasons.  Counting is a snap for this group, as well! 

K-2 did several pages in class.  I would like you to try to send those family photographs for our family tree project.  I do have some hand-drawn portraits the students made that we will use instead of photos for some of the students.  I would like to complete the project the week after Easter.

3rd Grade  received their project information.  The books are due May 5th.  Please look over the sheets with your child and let me know if you have any questions. Students will need to make a book in Spanish with illustrations.  Some children want to make the book a bilingual book, which is fine.  We reviewed days of the week, numbers to 100, seasons, and months.  I wil be going beyond 100 next week with the students.  Students also received study sheets, although we will not be taking any more tests on numbers this year. Knowing how to count and write numbers in Spanish is an important skill and I encourage students to practice the numbers over the summer.

4, 5, and 6 brought their research on the country they will be "visiting" for their final project.
Students shared their experiences working with their parents on the project.  They are becoming aware of planning for a trip, airports with direct flights to different countries, air fare, hotel and other related costs. I am very proud of all of the students. 
                We started some serious study of verb conjugations, as well. 

Thank you for your interest in our Spanish Language Program.  Please contact me if you have any questions about the projects due on the 5th of May. 
                                                      Atentamente,
                                                           Srta. Linda
