Happy Three Kings Day! Children in Spain went to bed last night anticipating the arrival of the Three Kings at their house and awoke in the morning to treats in their shoes and plenty of gifts. My third grade students made paper shoes before vacation and we set them out in the classrooms yesterday in hopes of getting a treat from the Three Kings. Surprisingly, the The Kings made a pit stop along their travels through Spain to little Hopkinton, RI to give the students a pencil and an eraser. They also left a little note for each class. It says" We are happy that you are learning about Three Kings Day in school. So we gave you some small treats as gifts. Please don't tell the children in Spain! Normally we don't give gifts to students in the U.S." Below is a picture of the letter that Mr. Fanning's class got and the shoes in Mrs. Bliven's room. So cool! First Grade students at Hope Valley just finished creating their own "Zones of Regulation Chart" in Spanish. The zones are a way for students to understand and express how they are feeling and try to do something about it if they need to change the way they are feeling. The blue zone is under the weather, slow moving, tired, etc. The green zone is ready to learn. The yellow zone is just a little excited or silly. The red zone is out of control. Students categorized feelings that they have learned in Spanish into each of the zones. Below is a sample of one chart. Have a good weekend!
