We had a wonderful Spring Break and hope that you did, too.  Today, even though it was the Wednesday before Easter, we celebrated Earth Day, El Dia de la Tierra!  The children made beautiful water color paper towel earths on black background. Some children even put stars in the universe. We gave them lists of words that have significance with Earth Day, such as reciclar, guardar, tierra, etc. When you look in their cuadernos, as we hope you do every week, you will see the appropriate Spanish vocabulary, along with the English translations.
We played a while outside in the fine Spring Day. We sing songs that we have learned, and practice the words, also. Some parents wonder what their children are learning. We encourage you to review at home and listen to the CD's we have given your children. Remember that children can be shy, even when they know something or are around people they know, especially when they are asked to perform in front of a group. Hang in there, with them, since they are proud of what they can do, but need to have learning reinforced at home or in the car!
