Greetings!

This has been a great week as we had Ms. Brigette, the i-Immersion Spanish advisor and supervisor, come in and teach class on Monday. She showed us some new games and songs. So this week, we took a break from the community helper and focused on some basic themes such as clothes, animals, shapes and colors. This was great since we have two new children in class.

Here is the vocabulary for shapes (please look to previous blogs for the other vocabulary):

circulo- circle
cuadrado- square
rectangulo- rectangle
triangulo- triangle
rombo- rhomboid
ovalo- oval
estrella- star
corazon- heart

Thursday we made a valentine’s card, which should be in their backpacks. Please let ask them about it so that they can share them with you. Please take into consideration that the kids are following my instructions in spanish and are doing a wonderful job.
Inside the cards they wrote: Te quiero, which means ” I love you”.

Besides that, we are beginning a new Homework folder. This folder is for your children to have with them everyday and they are to take it home with them to share the work they are doing in class. We will begin to have handouts to practice vocabulary and writing the alphabet in Spanish. This is an opportunity for you to spend time with your child and practice the language. With the homework, it will assist you in knowing how to practice with your child.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me!

Have a great weekend, and I look forward to Valentine’s Day on Monday.

Feliz de San Valentin
