Hola, Padres,
Today was an interesting day because we combined El Cinco de Mayo, Mexican "Independence Day" with El Dia de las Madres, Mother's Day. We cut out sombreros and colored them and made cards for our mamas.
It was a very busy day and we hardly spent any time outside because of the extreme heat and sun. It was touching to see how the children expressed their love for their madres. The fun songs on the CD about different themes in Spanish set to different familiar songs in English were a big hit! We continue to learn theme-appropriate phrases and words. We hope you check your students' cuadernos to see what they have been learning. But, remember, practice makes all the difference in learning. Repetition is key, and children like it!

Dear Parents,
Good news: we will back in our original classroom this coming Wednesday. See you there!
Last week in Room 11 we listened to a CD about different kinds of weather in Spanish and in English. We also worked on number sheets, used playing cards to reinforce the names of the numbers. Poker chips also were another medium that we used. Whenever your children do work they branch out from it in their own individual ways: some add art, some write the words out on the reverse side of the worksheet, some do both! We read some stories, too, in Spanish. Some of Rocio's kids worked on numbers, also and started to practice shapes in Spanish. We will continue numbers and shapes next week, and will learn some short songs about them. We have really enjoyed listening to the new Spring CD and hope that you have, too. Your car and your home are good places to listen to the songs. Due to the "hace mucho calor" weather conditions, we stayed inside out of the sun.
