Esta semana en la clase de Español...
We will continue to review telling time in 3rd and 4th grade. 1st grade will be reviewing the Solar System in Spanish. Kindergarten will finish the colors DVD (quite entertaining), and second grade we will be adding more vocabulary to our Symtalk system in order to help the students form longer sentences.
We will soon be talking about Christmas traditions in several Spanish-speaking countries, and will be making snow flakes, Poinsettias, and Molas depending on grade level. Holiday music will be playing for the next several weeks in order to get them ready for our "fiestas"!

We are making "El Día de Acción de Gracias" place cards for their Thanksgiving Dinner. In these cards they have written what they are thankful for, so that they can share it with family and friends...in Spanish!
¡Feliz Día de acción de Gracias!

Esta semana en Español...
For all grades, we'll begin our discussions on "El Día de Acción de Gracias" (Thanksgiving Day). The fourth graders will be reviewing the "clock" while the 3rd graders will be learning how to tell time.
In Kindergarten we are beginning to have volunteers come up to do calendar. This is an exciting time as they begin to take the initiative to participate and speak Spanish on their own.
1st and 2nd graders will be increasing basic vocabulary with the use of the Symtalk Program.
They are enjoying the "Operando" (Operation) game in Spanish, providing them with a fun way to learn how to count money.
¡Gracias!

Next week!
Hola Padres,
Since we have been watching a video about "The Day of the Dead" celebrations, I thought it would be fitting to have the celebration in my classroom. I will be setting up an area in the classroom, so that the students who want to participate will be able to bring an item (small) to add to the "altar" in remembrance of someone who has passed away. It could also be the memory of a pet! This is a happy celebration!! The first week of November, items will be returned...make sure to put your child's name on the item. If they choose to bring a photo, it could be a photo copy of it. If it is a food item that the loved one used to like to eat, it could be a picture or container of the item...trying to keep ants at bay. If you have any questions feel free to email me at bbp@shorecrest.org or call me.
sinceramente,
Señora B-P

We will continue the discussion of "The Day of the Dead", which is celebrated in Mexico as well as in many other countries around the world. This is not meant to be a scary time, it is a special time to remember those who are no longer with us. The students will be making some arts and crafts which will help increase their Spanish vocabulary!
I have to apologize to the 1st grade parents for overlooking the fact that they were going to need a "cuaderno" (notebook) this year. Thanks to all of you who sent it in.
Throughout the year your child will be bringing their Spanish folder to share with you, I know you cant' wait...but the idea is that the folder should come back with everything in it...nothing should be thrown away!!
:-)
¡Hasta luego! Señora B-P

We are practicing our Halloween vocabulary (gato negro, fantásma, murciélago, calabaza con cara, bruja, esqueleto) while making the items to decorate the classroom. The room is bound to look a bit spooky by the time we are finished.
We are also discussing the Mexican tradition of "The Day of the Dead", in which people remember the friends and family members who have passed away.
ALSO PLEASE PARTICIPATE, WE NEED YOUR INPUT:
Hello Parents! The window is now open for our parent opinion survey. You may access the survey through the link posted here. Please help us identify areas of strength as well as opportunities for improvement by taking the survey. It should take approximately 20 minutes of your time. Also, if you live in a two-parent household, we encourage both parents to take the survey.
Thank you so much for your participation in this very important reflective process!

Esta semana en la clase de Español...
Tomorrow will be a fun beginning to the day when the entire LD will come together to celebrate International Peace Day. One of the treats is the song "Niños por la Paz" which will be sang by the entire Lower Division, many of you have been hearing it already...sorry :-(
In 1st grade we are reviewing the parts of the body in conjunction with their homeroom curriculum. Señor Cuerpo (Mr. Body) was a great help today. The students had fun placing the parts of the body, however, at times they decided to be a bit silly by placing them in the most unusual places...eyes to the side of the body, upside down legs, etc. They labeled the parts and their pronunciation continues to be spectacular.
Later this week I will be bringing out the Eggspert, which acts like a Jeopardy game. This is another fun way to reinforce vocabulary while having to think fast on their feet, well, actually, they will be sitting down on the floor.
Hasta la próxima! (until the next one!)

Esta semana en la clase de Español...
the students in all grades K-4th began to learn the song "Niños Por La Paz", which will be sang on "El Día de la Paz" (Peace Day). Actually, many of the students in 4th and 3rd grade remember it from years past.
The fourth graders practiced their typing in computer class but they did not type in English, they typed IN SPANISH!!!! This exercise gave them an opportunity to learn to use a few different international symbols such as the ñ (as in niña or Carlos Peña), and the acentos (accents) on the vowels (é). They wrote a few sentences about themselves, then illustrated the sentences, and finally they brought the work home to read to their parents...parents, please remember to sign your name after your child reads it, muchas gracias.
In an effort to help the new students acclimate themselves to the class, we are continuing with review of basic Spanish vocabulary and classroom commands.
¡Que pasen un buen fín de semana!
Hasta luego!
