Because we are studying in the art room, why not use what's around us to learn new things ?

So we made a Spanish "rueda de colores" to practice colors and writing sentences.

The final objective is to build up sentences using nouns, adjectives and prepositions to locate something or someone. Reviewing what has been seen so far is very useful for the next weeks.

See you next Wednesday!

Miércoles 15 de enero

Back to our normal group, we caught up on last week, with one pair reading to the other.
Then we worked on writing sentences using our high-frequency words and some other important locating prepositions. The objective is to answer a question like "Donde està el/la ... ?"
That aspect of the language will keep us busy for some classes.
Hasta la semana que viene !!

Miércoles o8 de enero

Back to our Spanish classes with a reduced number of students, so we seized the opportunity to do some reviews and to create some booklets about new stories.
From a short text, our students copied it down, worked on the understanding of new words and then tried to translate it. That way, they could realize that they could understand and read it really faster than they thought. Because they walked back home with that booklet, you can encourage your child to read it to you in order to practice reading skills.

Thanks to our list of first high-frequency words, our students can venture into reading some beginners' books. So today we read, copied and translated a book about Christmas, and others about numbers and fruits.
We also practice a beautiful song for next week's class; the last one before Christmas holiday.
It'd be nice if your child could practice that song over the week in order to be ready for our little celebration.

Back to our class after a short break, we started to read real Spanish books;
for beginners, but real books !!
In order to practice at home, the students made their own little books of short basic sentences.
After reviewing our high-frequency words, we worked on vocabulary.
They each walked out with some assignments to complete for next time and a booklet to read.

Miércoles 2o de noviembre

On our last week of November, we decided to put our two groups together to have the kids share and show what they already learned since September.
First we started with a song dedicated to... the rain that generously blessed our afternoon;
then we played word games with their books and binders, where kids had to write the longest words they knew, or as many words as they could remember;
and finally, they read with Maestro Lobo a story translated from Dr. Seuss's works, which of course they already knew and had fun discovering in Spanish.
And that was it, may you and your child have a happy Thanksgiving;
see you back in December !

Balance statement

Dear Parents,

Today, I sent out with your children the balance statements for the year. Please look for it in your child's binder.

Thank you and HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
