Hola - We had a wonderful time celebrating El Dia de los Muertos! Muchas gracias for providing pictures for the altar! We sang a song about making Mexican chocolate. The children had a special ceremony around the altar, with candles and pictures,
and then, everybody went outside to taste "el Pan de los Muertos" with a cup of
hot Mexican chocolate!
We also sang "This Land is Your Land", waved American flags and decorated cards to give to a veteran!
LA TAREA/Homework: Review old songs, learn El Chocolate, Esta Tierra es Tu Tierra and Thanksgiving songs and practice speaking Spanish!
REMINDERS: Could the children please eat, drink and go to the bathroom before class?
NOTE: Would families feel comfortable with Christmas music and a song about Mary(Jesus' mother) on our next CD? If not, I can easily eliminate those songs.

HALLOWEEN!
Hola Familias - the children enjoyed dramatizing the poem of The Five Little Pumpkins - pictures are coming soon! They then illustrated the poem, sang and danced a number of halloween songs, and played halloween-themed games! The children also spoke to each other in Spanish saying, "Me gusta Halloween!" - I like Halloween! We then played with Halloween-themed puppets and concluded with a review game, during which they were given the opportunity to review all the vocabulary they've learned so far.
TAREA/Homework: Listen to CD, bring in a photo for a mini-celebration of El Dia de los Muertos, and speak Spanish (they will earn a sticker each week for speaking Spanish and listening to their CD)
REMINDERS: Please have children eat, drink and go to the bathroom before class. The children will receive new booklets and CDs in the winter and spring
