Dear Parents,
         K-4 had a fun-filled, activity-packed period today!  They are learning the names of farm animals in Spanish, sang all of their songs without help from me, counted to thirty, with a little help from me, reviewed parts of the body, and heard a lovely story in Spanish entitled," Te quiero," which means, "I love you."


K-5  The children counted to fifty, reviewed all songs, helped me take attendance by responding in Spanish, "No esta"  if children were absent, (this was really neat since I did not prompt them to do so), learned farm animals in Spanish, and heard a story in Spanish called, "Te quiero." I can conduct most of the class in Spanish!

Grade 1  continued their special project about physical descriptions.  I passed around a mirror which students really enjoyed. We are working on a special Valentine's gift which will include a presentation to you in Spanish when they take the project home.  This will happen next week.

Grade 2 continued their project for Valentine's Day. Students understand instructions I give in Spanish!  I am so pleased.

Grade 3 presented their dialogues.  So many students have acquired an excellent pronunciation in Spanish.  They are reading in Spanish as well.  I am so very happy that they enjoy my class.  They received a worksheet with the names of zoo animals to study for a quiz next week.  An optional assignment is to write a short dialogue about a trip to the zoo.  This is NOT required.  I am hoping students will attempt to write the dialogue using their new zoo animals vocabulary.

Grade 4  presented their dialogues about the weather. They did very well.  They need to write a dialogue about a trip to the zoo in Spanish using a worksheet they completed in class.

  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

                              Atentamente,
                                        Miss Linda
