We had fun acting out Los 3 Cerditos (The 3 Little Pigs). The kids did a great job of using new Spanish vocabulary during the play. We painted pumpkins and played with puzzles. We wrote the numbers to 20 and learned to count using the red and white beads on the rekenreks. The kids also enjoyed a walk through the woods to look at the leaves, the snow, and the lake.
This week we started focusing on the sounds and syllables of the letters d, l, n, and t. We will continue to do so this week. New vocabulary:
el dinosaurio (dinosaur) el dado (dice) el dedo (finger)
dos (2) diez (10) doce (12)
el dragón (dragon)
el león - lion el lobo - wolf el limón - lemon
la luna - moon el libro - book
el niño - boy la niña - girl los niños - children
nadar - to swim el nido - nest nada - nothing
la nariz - nose la nube - cloud nueve - nine
la nieve - snow la noche - night números - numbers
un tren (a train) un tigre (a tiger) un tambor ( a drum)
triángulo (triangle) una tortuga (a turtle)
tres (3) trece (13)
Starting November 16, students in Cohort A and Cohort B will begin coming to school for a full day (7:45 am - 2:15 pm). Students in Cohort C will become students of the Distance Learning Academy (DLA). The school district formed the DLA as a result of feedback from parents and staff.
I was notified on Friday that I will be the PSI kindergarten & first grade teacher for the DLA. This means that I will not be teaching cohorts A & B after November 16. Your children will be assigned to one of the other three kindergarten classrooms. I realize that this is not ideal for your children, and I will do what I can to help make their, and your, transitions go smoothly. As I have more information, I will share it with you.
