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!

¡Hablemos Español! Let's Speak Spanish! Bienvenidos a mi página de español 2011! The expectations in the Spanish class from 1st-4th grade are simple; pay attention, participate, follow directions, follow the rules of the classroom, and be respectful. The routines in the classroom will help reinforce Spanish vocabulary. Repetition is key while teaching a second language, and we will be doing so in a variety of ways. Stay tuned!

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!
