Hola padres! What an exciting week! We started the week off learning the fruits in Spanish and putting together a little book about fruits at the market. We talked about how people buy and eat fruit differently in Spanish speaking countries than we do here. I hope they share the book with you and are able to tell you about it.
We also started our study on the country of Chile this week. What an interesting country! Its geography and placement in South America really make it unique. It is also called the country of poets and I'm sure your scholar would love to tell you why!
This week in PE we also started our highly anticipated unit on dodgeball. We started early in the week with making sure we knew proper throwing form by stepping with the correct foot as we threw. Today, our dodgeball games began. I hope to emphasize with the scholars that the dodgeballs are soft and they they shouldn't hurt too badly when they get hit as long as its not in the head or face. Emotions run high during this unit, so I am hoping to temper that with lots of discussion on being a good sport and following the rules and being honest and humble. I am hoping they can show me what great scholars of virtue they can be. Already, I have seen displays of good sportsmanship and I am so glad to finally be giving them the unit they have so deperately wanted since the first day of school!
Please stay tuned as our unit of jump rope will soon follow as we look to the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser. I will be posting here when your scholar will jump in their class competition which will decide the top boy and girl who will jump in the K-1 competition on Thursday, March 12th. Class competitions will be held during their normal PE time slot on either Monday or Thursday. The schedule will also be posted in the Friday flash, will be given to your scholars' teacher to be put in their weekly newsletter and I will also leave a schedule with the ladies in the office so that all parents should be fully aware of when theirs scholar is competing for top jumper in their class. If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
