Please note that photo retakes have been rescheduled from October 17 & 18 to November 2 & 3. Please let your child's teacher know that you would like retakes. Class photos will also be taken at this time. All class photos and K-5 retakes will be taken on November 2, with the exception of the Tuesday/Thursday Kindergarten class who will have their class photos and retakes on November 3.
This week, we continued working in our 5 Senses Thankful Books. We drew something we are thankful for the taste of, as well as the smell of.
In math, we rotated through various math centers, practicing pattern-making with colours, numeral recognition in Spanish, as well as counting the number of letters in our names.
We are continuing to practice identifying the face parts in Spanish.
Ojos - eyes
Nariz - nose
Boca - mouth
Dientes - teeth
Orejas - ears
We are listening to and learning the song 5 calabazas
During snack time, we watch Spanish videos. One of our favourites to watch is Salsa. So far, we have watched episodes from Season One up to episode 12. If you are looking for a way to support your child at home, please have them review these episodes. Repetition is key when learning a new language.
