Hola, padres! We have wrapped up another fun week in Kinder Spanish today! We started the week out discussing food we liked by learning that "me gusta" means you like something, while "no me gusta" means you don't like something. The kids enjoyed picking our cards with pictures of food on them and putting them on the white board expressing weather they liked that food or not.
The rest of the week we concentrated on Christmas traditions in Spanish speaking countries. I read two books to them this week which helped me explain the legend of the Poinsettia and why it is now considered a Christmas flower and another book that explained Las Posadas or the tradition of a town getting together to reenact Mary and Joseph looking for shelter before the baby Jesus was born. Both books were written by Tomie DePaola and have vivid pictures and captivating stories. The kids did a great job sitting through the stories even the one written in Spanish that I translated for them. We had fun picking out words that we had studied and learned these last few weeks.
I will only see each class one more time next week before the end of the semester. Please know how much I have enjoyed spending each afternoon with them. Their excitement, energy and smiles have really brought me so much joy each day. Thank you for allowing me to share this time with them.
Conferences will be held the week of January 7th. I realize there is no schedule for Kinder Spanish conferences. If for some reason you would like to meet with me, please email me at ahamilton@archwaytrivium.org and I can set one up with you as I will be around school that week. Have a wonderful holiday break and I look forward to resuming class with the Kinders in January!
Sincerely,
Sra. Hamilton
