Buenos,
We like to review what we have learned. We also love the challenge of learning new groups of vocabulary, such as articles of clothing. We do a variety of activities geared to aiding memorization. The children do well when they see how something new they are learning relates directly to them. Some people find that using Post Its around the house or bedroom using words there children have mentioned or chosen helps make learning fun and available on a daily basis. We are off to Spring Break and have talked a bit about what will happen during the vacation. Happy Spring to all!

Hola,
We are enjoying learning about our communities and the places we go in our daily lives: museums, grocery stores, libraries and more. We play Veo, Veo, Simon Dice, and Manos Arriba. Remember that I have sent home compact discs of Spring songs which we help your kids a great deal when by listening and pairing words with melody and rhythm. We are a great group!

Buenos Dias, Padres,
Spring is such a happy time and the children get excited about making spring blossoming trees with tissue paper for the flowers on their trees!
I share library books with them that relate to our themes of the week. I recommend that you go to the Santa Cruz Public Library online and see the Spanish stories that are available. The bricks and morter location also has a great collection of bilingual books. We are still learning vocabulary lists that the children made of Spring-related words.

Queridos Padres,
The children have been so busy with practicing alphabet sounds and letters, making necklaces, and writing letters on serious, lined notebook paper. They love making word lists and work very hard in writing and learning the new vocabulary words. We have added a new game called "manos arriba", which is a fun way to reveal what your answer is when asked a question that needs a response in English or Spanish. I want to remind you to reinforce what the children have learned by looking at the notebook. The class is really bonding.

Hola, padres,
We now know how to say "I Love You" and we also have mastered "I like"! We can talk about people we love and things we like. We really enjoy talking about our feelings and expressing them to one another by writing little love notes and making Valentine Hearts. Holidays are fun!

Estimados Padres,
We have learned more about the seasons, although seasons are very different in California. We know how to say: El invierno, La Primavera, El Verano, y el Otono. We know that there are Cuatro Estaciones, Four Seasons. We try to incorporate our numbers in various ways. The wonderful thing about us as children is that we try hard to practice and we have a good ear for the language. We love learning Spanish!!

Queridos Padres,
We have been learning about our favorite foods and meals. We enjoy playing the game "Veo, Veo" and review our expressions from the past: greetings, parts of the body, and our Hello and Goodbye songs. Our group is becoming more relaxed and comfortable with each other. We are very creative children and enjoy using art and language. If we can practice at home with post-its and with our CD's we will reinforce what we have already learned.
