Hola familias - we are having so much fun in Spanish class! We're continuing our review of numbers, colors and clothing. They heard and participated in the story of Cesar Chavez in honor of his birthday March 31. They also received and studied illustrated vocabulary, based upon his story. We did the Cesar Chavez clothing dance and learned the  traditional Mexican Hat Dance (La Raspa) with sombreros!


After spring break, I will choose some students to act out The Cesar Chavez Story and we will hopefully have time for the bunny game.


Homework/Tarea:1.  Learn song #'s 1, 13, 18, 19 and 21 (keep learning more songs if you have already mastered these) .2. Review handouts and music book     3. Practice speaking Spanish  4. Read Spanish children's literature/Listen with books on tape

Having a small and exceptional class is so valuable and fun! We went over numbers, colors and clothes. We played clothing bingo and a hide and seek the bunny opposites game.

Homework/tarea: Please learn song #1 Buenos Dias, #13 La Ropa and #21 Adios Amigos. Practice speaking Spanish and listening to the Spanish cd in general. Stickers will be given for doing various aspects of the homework.

Reminders:1. Bring binder and all its contents to and from every class.  2. Music books are particularly important.

I'm looking forward to our next class - I'll introduce the story of Cesar Chavez (and we'll celebrate his birthday) which they will act out the following week!
Hasta pronto

What a joy to teach your children ... I told my son that you have enchanting children!
First, I introduced my puppet assistants - Juan Pablo and Senor Loro. Then we learned three songs and made St. Patrick's Day cards.

Homework is optional but very valuable :

LEARN SONG #1 BUENOS DIAS, #13 LA ROPA, #21 ADIOS AMIGOS, AND PRACTICE SPEAKING ANY WORDS YOU CAN!

REMINDERS:
- bring binders to all classes.
- Sign in and out through the School office. Get a sticker with childrens' names on them.
- Music books must be returned every week for regular use.
Thank you !

I can't wait to see you next week!!!!!  Muchas gracias - Cindy Tinetti
