¡Hola padres! Here we are in our third week of school and the kids are excited to be learning the names of some of the common objects found in the classroom: la maestra, la muchacha/el muchacho, el libro, el papel, la pluma, la mesa, la silla, el reloj y el lápiz. After learning the new vocabulary, we spent some time on a "slap jack" type game where I divided the class into teams and had one player from each team come up to the board to see who could first point to the classroom object correctly. As we did in P.E., we talked about how not everyone always gets a turn and that sometimes we lose and sometimes we win, but that we always say buen juego after the game to show good sportsmanship. They really enjoyed this. We also worked on a page in our workbooks to reinforce the classroom vocabulary and Ms. Keating's class learned about Cuba.
For Kindergarten, we also worked on classroom object vocabulary and on our matching skills. I will start números de uno a cinco with them today with various games.
With both classes, in P.E. this week we have been hula hooping and they love it! On Wednesday I also broke out the parachute and although not much Spanish was incorporated, I hope to increase the use of colors words in the Wednesdays to come with this lesson.
Please ask your children about what they are learning in either class and let me know what they say. Feedback is a great way for me to make any adjustments that are needed to class and also a way for me to continue using what works. I would love to hear their stories.
Sinceramente,
Sra. Hamilton
