Hola padres! We are now in December and I know that this month will go fast! Conference sign ups went out this week and I am excited to see that I already have quite a few scheduled. I look forward to meeting with you and talking with you about your scholars. I really enjoy teaching them.
In Spanish for first grade, we are continuing with our study of weather vocabulary. Again, our sudden weather change has been a great way for the scholars to practice and bring this vocabulary to life for them. To help with this, I have started teaching them the itsy bitsy spider in Spanish, since it talks about raining and the sun. They are excited to know both the English and Spanish versions of the song. We are also working on a series of games that will help them with the fluency of this vocabulary as some of these words can sound the same if you are not careful about their pronounciation.
On the subject of our cold weather, Kindergarten parents, please keep in mind that Kindergarten has PE right away at 8:05 in the morning. Mornings are now brisk and as much as I can, I'd like to have PE class outside. Please make sure your scholar has a warm jacket or coat in addition to their uniform sweater. I will keep them moving as much as I can so they don't get cold, but it helps if they are warmly dressed. Thank you!
Our country for the month of December is El Salvador. We are working our way through Central America and are talking about the amount of volcanic activity that takes place in that small country.
In PE for both grades, we will be learning to throw as we work toward playing dodgeball. We are using soft foam balls in the hopes that no one will get hurt. Hopefully this will be a fun unit for everyone.
In Kindergarten Spanish, we will be learning how to ask for where something is with a book about Spot. A craft comes with this lesson that the scholars really enjoy.
Have a great week!
Sra. Hamilton
