Hola y Buenos tardes, padres,
“The Gingerbread Man” has long been a well-loved children’s tale with a cute and repetitive song to go with it. Do you remember it? We are reading the story in Spanish and English! Your kids made gingerbread puppets with tongue depressors and a cut-out and colored little guy. We practiced the Spanish words for parts of the head and face. A fun joke that makes them laugh and know they are smart, is to call out the wrong word for the body or face part.
Two important activities which you can practice at home: names of the parts of the head and face and the little song that accompanies the puppet and his story.
Corre, corre,
Rapido, rapido
Rapido, rapido
No me puedes atrapar
Soy el hombre de pan!
Vocabulary to practice: pelo o cabello ( hair ), ojos ( eyes ), oídos ( ears ) nariz ( nose ), boca ( mouth ), rodillas ( knees ), piernas ( legs ) and brazos ( arms )!
Announcement: The Migration Festival for Monarch butterflies and other animals is Schedule for this Saturday, February 8, from 11:00 to 4:00 at Natural Bridges State Park. Weather permitting; it will be a great event for kids and their families.
******VALENTINE’S DAY news******
We will celebrate love, friendship, and family this coming Wednesday, the 12th. Some of your children came home with a little folded slip of paper with a classmates name on it. Your “student” can make a Valentine for that person and chose to make it from a secret pal or sign their name. If you and your child did not receive one to take home or one got lost, please make a Valentine or buy one, if you prefer, and we will help your child sign the name of another who doesn’t have a Valentine made for him yet. Also, feel free to bring Valentine’s for the entire class of 13, if you like. Here are names: Ava, Caitlyn, Dylan, Kate, Kenny, Lili, Mercedes, Mia, Noah, Olivia, Rylee, Salma, Taylor! We will spend most of our time talking about the concept of Valentine’s Day and will make surprise Valentine’s for our familiar loved ones.
