K-4 worked very hard today. The children usually enter our Spanish classroom singing some of our songs in Spanish. We added a new song called, "Asi, me lavo las manos." Different parts of the body are substituted for "las manos." The melody is "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush" if you hear your child singing the song. We also looked at a calendar since we are in a new month. The children are learning the months of the year and how to express the date in Spanish. They also can say how old they are in Spanish. We did not have time to do a short worksheet coloring activity about birthdays. I will save it for next week. I deliver this type of activity entirely in Spanish. Our story for today was one about snow from the Doc McStuffins series, but in Spanish.
K-5 also reviewed the months of the year and days of the week. They worked on their song, "De Colores." Students can answer may questions in Spanish now! I am so pleased with their progress.
1st grade did a calendar sheet and reviewed expressing the day, date, and year in Spanish. They also heard the story from the Doc McStuffins series.
2nd grade completed a worksheet about sports and were asked to create sentences (orally) about sports they liked and didn't like. Students do not seem to like "golf." We use the same term in English and Spanish for golf. Most student stated that they did not like golf--"No me gusta el golf." We need to talk about that! I am thinking they might not be aware of what it is....
Grade 3 presented their cultural awareness projects. We later shared them with Miss Stone. They did an excellent job on this project. The boxes are displayed on the mantle in the foyer. Please take a look at them if you have a chance. Thank you for your assistance with your child's project.
Grade 4 presented their autobiographical paragraphs. They did a super job. Although I required only one part of the worksheet, several children did the entire worksheet. I particularly enjoyed hearing the students favorite quotes.
Have a wonderful vacation next week. There was no homework assigned, but I did distribute a magazine in Spanish to fourth graders to read over their vacation.
Atentamente,
Srta. Linda
