Hola Familias - We began class with the greeting song (which is in your child's music booklet in their binder/folder and on the cd). The children sang a number song as well. We also sang and signed the color song which includes all primary colors plus pink, gold and silver and played a color game. We danced the clothing song using American Sign Language as well. An Earth Day theme was presented - which included new vocabulary and two songs, which are all on a two-sided sheet, which your child took home.

HOMEWORK: 1. Continue listening to cd   2. Practice speaking Spanish - ie greetings, clothing, colors, numbers, and Earth Day vocab. They need to be familiar with this vocab. in order to understand the puppet show/skit next week!  

REMINDERS: Please:  1.Check your child/ren in and out of class  2. Be sure to bring binder/folder and all its contents to and from each class. Muchas gracias - Cindy Tinietti

Spanish class was a blast! Now that we have 13 students we qualify for a paid aid! My son - Senor Jacobo has joined us! I have spoken Spanish to him since the day he was born and he has studied Spanish as well. We played Simon Dice (Simon Says), He danced and sang and impersonated Cesar Chavez with a huge sombrero, which kept falling off - the children laughed their heads off!  A number of children also re-enacted a simplified version of the life of Cesar Chavez.

I'm leaving for Israel so we'll have a sub. She'll have the children playing Spanish number bingo and  an activity with colors! If she has time she'll go over the Spanish alphabet as well!

Homework: Continue to review songs already covered.Please add#4 De Colores, #5 El Alfabeto,  and #8 Feliz Cumpleanos. Please learn  #17 La Mariposa for when I return the following week - we'll honor Earth Day - with some daincing - new vocabulary and an engaging puppet show!    

REMINDERS: Continue to bring binders to and from class, and review their content
