Bienvenidos a la clase de espanol, Kindergarten!

Our Kindergarten class started off their year of Spanish with new songs, words, and activities. We enjoyed learning our "Buenos dias" and "Como te llamas?" songs and listening to our bilingual book of the week Pizcando el sol/Gathering the Sun about fruits, farms, and fieldwork. Ask your child about our words of the week: How do we say "please," "thank you," and "you're welcome" in Spanish? Disfrutalo!

Hola a los padres de los murcielagos negros!  Hello to the parents of the Black Bats! This past week, we had a wonderful time reviewing our "Buenos Dias" and "Como te llamas?" songs while also getting the chance to add a new song: "ABC de colibri" o "El alfbeto en espanol." We now know how letters sound in Spanish and that there are four more letters in the Spanish alphabet. We also outfitted the parts of our class with Spanish labels. Do you know how to say "door" or "table" in Spanish? Your child sees it everyday, so ask him or her to tell you!

Hola padres, abuelos, y otra familia de los Murcielagos Negros! We had a great week revisiting our "Buenos Dias," "Como te llamas?" and "ABC de Colibri" songs. We also learned a new song, "La Clase," that is helping us learn parts of our classrooms. Next week, we'll be learning counting in Spanish and trying to use the phrase "No se." Ask your child what the phrase means! Finally, we introduced a new book this week to prepare for Grandparents' Day and the Harvest Fest. We hope to see you all at our special day!
