Feliz Navidad!  As part of our culture unit teachings, grades Pre-K to 5^th have been making Mexican ornaments to decorate the hall and the door.  Our room, hall and door are very festive and colorful with simple hand made decorations.  We will also be watching a short movie on the legend of the Christmas Flower (poinsettia).

Pre-K:  We have finished our colors and have made the transition to numbers.

Kindergarten:  We are now on our letter “K” in phonics and they are doing great sounding out the letters of our mini-book pictures.

1^st Grade:   We are learning about body parts, so we know that pie is for (foot) not for (yummy pie).  We are working hard sounding each letter out and breaking into syllables to read them out and they are doing a fantastic job.

2^nd Grade:  Feelings!  Oh, we can certainly express our feelings in Spanish.  We are reading sentences and trying to translate them from Spanish to English.

3^rd Grade:  We have been concentrating on the Lord’s Prayer and they sound great!  We are also developing descriptive sentences with each insect, which is no easy task when you have to remember the gender and number before determining the adjectives.

4^th Grade:  Studying the different forms of the verb IR = to go (voy, vas and va).  We have finished the workbook exercises and most of us are ready for a test next week.

5^th Grade:  Studying AR verbs and using them in answering the questions pertaining to what we do in each class.

6^th Grade:  Using adjectives correctly in describing in a sentence and paragraph form.

7^th Grade:  Learning the difference between the verbs SER and ESTAR (to be), the rules on how to use them as well as when to use them.

8^th Grade:  Reviewing the verbs SER and ESTAR and writing a paragraph using both forms of the verb as well as verbs in present progressive form.  We are pretending that it is Christmas and describing where we are and what we are doing as well as each member of our families.

Y MUY FELIZ ANO NUEVO!
