Buenos Días queridas familias,

          This week we began our class with a short book - El Pez Arco Iris ( The Rainbow Fish). Each scholar took turns reading a page to the rest of the class in order to continue to improve word recognition and pronunciation skills.

          Next we used a set of flash cards. Initially showing the picture of familiar everyday items along with the name of the item. Once that was done, it was time for the memory test. We looked only at the picture, and the students were expected to remember the name of the item. A couple of kids decided to add the "hang man" option to the activity, adding a body part whenever the majority of students could not produce the right answer. A measure of their success was evident by the fact that the last body part was only drawn in when we got to the last of fifty cards.

          After gaining some new vocabulary words, scholars were challenged to construct sentences either in their binders or, by using a collection of magnetic words made available to them. Some of the resulting sentences were rather whimsical. One student insisted on saving her sentence until her father arrived at the end of class. It read: Ella Habla Español - (She Speaks Spanish).

Hasta el próximo Miércoles,

Señor Lobo
