Estimadas familias,
We began this class learning a new song to add to the student's repertoire. After a quick review of the names of body parts we previously learned. We recognized we left out a very important one: El Espíritu. Luckily, the famous Chilean poet/composer Violeta Parra found a way to include The Spirit in the big picture in her song: De Cuerpo Entero (Of the Body Whole).
As when we learned our previous song - La Mona Jacinta - we translated this one and then sang it together a few times to learn the melody. Please ask your child to practice these songs at home or in the car. They have the lyrics in their binders.
Our next class will be on February 12, a couple of days before El Día de San Valentín. The children decided to pick names out of a hat to determine which classmate they would bring a valentine for on Wednesday. They also agreed to include the name of the recipient while leaving the author anonymous. Please remind your child to bring a simple valentine gift.
We did get to try our likes and dislikes finally. We took turns saying - Me gusta ______, y me gustas tú, ( I like ______, and I like you) to pass it to the next person. Among my favorites were, mi familia and mi Papá. Of course we also looked at a few things we didn't like - No me gusta ______. Several students chose schoolmates they were not particularly fond of. Stand outs were Chocolate and mine: Sandía (Watermelon).
