Creativity was flowing this week as the children built and played with all of the 3-dimensional containers we collected. They made towers and castles, cities and bridges, swimming pools and schools. They planned and compromised, revised and adjusted, and stacked and balanced. It was a treat to listen to them sharing their ideas and then working together to create so many structures. Thanks to all of you who sent in cubes, cylinders, and cones! (My apologies for some not-so-great photos, but I wanted to share this experience with you.)

Finally, I want to thank all of you for sharing with me with your most prized possessions this year. It has truly been a treat for me to spend my days with so many energetic, enthusiastic five and six-year olds. They came to school happy and excited to learn, and they learned so much! Remember the first day, when most of your children only knew how to say hola, and some of them could count to 10? Now some of them can count to 100! They've learned the words for colors, animal names, shapes, foods, clothing, and a lot of songs! They learned the letter names and sounds, and how to combine the sounds to read syllables and words. They learned how to count, add, and subtract. And in the last month, many of them have made great leaps in their spoken Spanish. I see it all coming together.
And now it is time for them to move on to first grade, where they will learn more words, more numbers, and a lot more Spanish. Keep encouraging your child to participate in class and to try to speak Spanish every day next year. You'll be amazed at what they can learn!
My wish for all of you is a safe and happy summer, filled with family time, more learning, and a lot of fun. Thank you again for a wonderful year!
