Hola a los padres y amigos de los caballos sumamentes! Hi parents and friends of the Mighty Mustangs! Spanish Enrichment continues with our daily songs that you are hopefully hearing around your home regularly about greetings, numbers, colors, and parts of the class. This week, we learned how to say parts of our bodies and played Simon Says and partner games to have fun with our new words. Our phrase of the week is: "Chido!" Ask your child to use it sometime this weekend and teach you something way cool and new! Join us in celebrating October as Hispanic Heritage Month with some of our events:
Tuesday, October 22, 12-1pm, Ballet Folklorico (traditional Mexican dancing) Performance
Friday, November 1 Dia de los muertos (see arts & crafts your children bring home and stop by Driggs City Hall the evening of November 1 and/or all daySaturday, November 2 for Dia de los muertos celebrations put on by the Hispanic Resource Center!)

Hola a todas partes de la familia de los Caballos Mestenos Sumamentes! Hello to all family members of the Mighty Mustangs! This past week, we reviewing our songs from the past four weeks, learning how to count in Spanish, and celebrating Harvest and Grandparents' Days with farm and family vocabulary. We also enjoyed learning our colors in Spanish and our new phrase of the week, "Orale!" Ask your child what it means and encourage them to continue using our phrases from the past month of Spanish:  "Por favor," "Gracias," "De nada," "No se," "Mira!" and "Ven aqui!" We hope you've learned something new, too!

 

Hola padres, abuelos, y otra familia de los Caballos Sumamentes! 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!

Hola a los padres de los caballos mestenos sumamentes! Hello to the parents of the Mighty Mustangs! 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 "books" in Spanish? Your child sees it everyday, so ask him or her to tell you!

Bienvenidos a la clase de espanol, Primero y Segundo Niveles!

Our 1st and 2nd grade 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 making up actions to remember our important words. Ask your child about our words of the week: How do we say "please," "thank you," and "you're welcome" in Spanish? Practice with your child by asking: how do we say, "Good morning!" and "Good afternoon!" in Spanish? Disfrutalo in learning our actions and how to greet one another in a new language!

Saludos,
