More books!!

This week we read these books in class (k and 1st). They are great books for Spanish class because many children are already familiar with them and they are repetitive, they follow a pattern so that by the 3rd page or so they are participating in the story. Oso Pardo stresses animals and colors. Buenas noches, luna stresses greeting and familiar objects. The "problem" is...many wanted to go to sleep afterward...

Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15 till October 15 we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. We have talked about the movements of independence in class: how the conquistadors conquered the New World and how the Spanish King ruled over the colonies. Mexico is the first country to declare its independence from Spain. The fifth graders are completing a scavenger hunt due on the first day of class after October 18th. Please, assist your child with this project if he/she needs help. For a description of the project, click here.
