Hola padres! We have had a great week of continuing learning about la casa and I have mixed in some review about la ropa with a fun Spanish video that gave the scholars a chance to listen to Spanish being spoken in more fluency. They did an amazing job of picking out what they knew and answering the answers to the quiz that were given at the end. We will start our unit about la fruta or fruit next week.
For the month of April, our Spanish speaking country is Panama. What a fascinating country as we look at the Panama Canal and what a major endeavor that was and what impact it continues to have today. We could study this feat of engineering for weeks, but I am trying to give the scholars a short overview. They seem really excited to be learning about it. Next month, we will continue south on the map and delve into South America.
We continued working on our basketball skills in PE this week, working mainly on dribbling and passing. The scholars are eager to get into games, but I am insisting that they perfect these basic skills as they are essential to a success on the court. Next week we will take a short hiatus from basketball as we have to move to the back field during AIMS testing. We'll play some fun tag games that will hopefully give the scholars a break during the day.
Field day is just a short week and a half away. Snacks have been taken care of and a sign up genius will be going out soon for tents, coolers, etc. Hopefully you have gotten a request from your teacher for volunteers. Thank you to all those who have responded. I really hope it will be a fun day for all!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sra. Hamilton
