Ethnic Festival-May 1st

District 97 will be celebrating the Ethnic Festival next Saturday, May 1st. Students from Kindergarten and first grade will be singing La Canción del Sapo. Click here for a video of the song.

Había un sapo, sapo, sapo
que nadaba en el río, río, río,
con su traje verde, verde, verde
se moría de frío, frío, frío.
La señora sapa, sapa, sapa
me contó
que tenía un amigo
que eras tu.

Spring is here!!

La oruga muy hambrienta has visited our class and eaten a lot of our frutas y comidas. Once it turned into a butterfly we followed up with El Autobús Mágico. The children already had the skills to understand the story and answer questions about it.
