Easter!

Hola Familias!
The children learned a couple of Easter songs and enjoyed spring puppets and eggs while preparing a little project! They're currently learning Easter/Spring vocabulary - bunny, duckling, lamb, eggs, basket and Happy Easter - Feliz Pascua!

Feliz Dia de San Patricio!

Besides learning basic Spanish fundamentals, such as their days of the week, the children also learned a St. Patrick's Day song and made cards - which they hopefully sang and presented to you! We also played a fun game of Spanish Hide and Seek, utilizing opposites!  

They are also hopefully listening to their new spring CDs!!!! Please consider copying them as I consistently hear that they get "lost" and they're expected to listen to them at least weekly. I'm excited to hear that a number of children are listening to them regularly in their cars! They have also received a music/coloring book which is in their binders! Some children are well on their way to memorizing songs!

La Primavera! Spring!

                                                            
Hola Familias!
We said goodbye to our winter 'friends and hello to our spring friends!  They were introduced to some spring friends via a beautiful golden Easter basket - a bunny(conejo), a chick (pollito) and a duck(patito) hatched from a lovely Easter egg! They also were excited to receive their spring music books and did a fabulous job of beginning to learn, sing and memorize the first set of songs!  

*The Spring CD is coming next week!!!!! Please continue speaking Spanish for a class star!

El Quetzal

Hola Familias!
Well, the children began class with a review of Spanish  fundamental vocabulary -  including numbers, days of the week, colors and seasons. Incorporating an authentic rainstick and beautiful pictures, the children then learned and sang about the lovely quetzal - found in southern Mexico and Central America. They illustrated the song by drawing a jungle and creating a gorgeous quetzal of their own!

La tarea:  Learn and practice singing song #9 Que Llueva, which tells about a quetzal in a tropical rainstorm! Listen to your CD and practice speaking and singing in Spanish!
