Buenos días familias.

We began this week’s class with a few lingering comments regarding Día de los Muertos. Each student was asked to write a sentence describing to whom their Ofrenda was dedicated. I hope some of you got to see the exhibit at the MAH in Santa Cruz. It was an amazingly colorful and joyous event to welcome the spirits of the departed.

Next in our class came the Calendario. We started with the names of the days of the week, pointing out their namesakes in our solar system. We than moved on to the names of the months and everyone was again asked to write a short sentence telling the class the date of their birth as well as their current age.

                                         
                                              Los días de la semana.

Los meses del año.

We’ll continue working on the calendar and clock next week, as well as a timeline of our planet earth.

Speaking of calendars, please check your child’s binder for the school yearly schedule which features a few Wednesday breaks including the upcoming November 27^th.

For the last part of the class, the students insisted on a quick hand of Escoba del Quince, which as I mentioned previously, is a card game involving addition and careful strategy. The children seem to really enjoy it…

Hasta el próximo Miércoles,

Señor Lobo
