Hola padres ! This month, the scholars are learning about Honduras as the Spanish speaking country. We have been learning why the Honduran flag has cinco estrellas, about its capitol, Tegucigalpa, and what countries surround it on the map. I really enjoy expanding their knowledge about this part of the world! It always amazes me how much they remember as we talk about how the current country is similar or different from the ones we have learned about earlier in the year.
In P.E. we have expanded to playing mini soccer games. I'm doing my best to make sure that everyone gets a chance to play and have fun as I realize there are various levels of soccer knowledge and abilities among the scholars. This is the first official game we have played as classes and I am learning class by class how to make this a successful time for everyone. Next week, I plan on stations or relays with different activities spread out around the basketball court. We'll see what I can come up with.
In Spanish this week, we are learning about the days of the week which I have already taught in P.E. as each of the seven squads is named after a day of the week. We learned a clever song to the tune of "My Darling Clementine" which will hopefully help in remembering the names to the days of the week. Next week and through Thanksgiving, we will be working on the weather and ways to express what is happening outside.
