There were big changes today! It went very well.
The children divided into two groups, First Graders in one, Kindergardners in the other.
This change is meant to help the older children get ready to transition to the "los Chicos" group (2nd to 5th graders students) in the Fall !

The Kindergartners:
Lucy's chiquitos talked about Spring, used special vocabulary, and decorated paper eggs. It was our way of celebrating La Pascua, Easter and Spring!  As always, your creative children turned an ordinary art project into something very special!  They have their new Spring CD's and we are working our way through some of the songs. We continue to reinforce words they have learned before and will continue to do so. We have been reading stories, which we translate into Spanish. We celebrated Kenny's birthday with the birthday song in Spanish and he wore the birthday crown! Then, Mercedes was the birthday queen, since her birthday fell on Good Friday. The children have really enjoyed each other's company and seem to love getting together to speak Spanish.
They really have nice pronunciations: an advantage to learning a language when young!
Have a good week !

The 1st graders:

Rocio's chiquitos group learn to say "Yo te quiero" we read the book "Como te quiero". We review animals names and practiced greetings and introduction: "Hola, como te llamas? Hola Yo me llamo ...." you are welcome to try practicing that with your kid. By now they have a good understanding of colors, we review them as well as bodies name parts and to finish we learn spring words: el huevo, el pollito, el conejo, la oveja. You can find all this new vocabulary at your kid binder.

See you next week !

 
Gracias
Rocio
