Kindergarten students have already started learning so much! They know how to say (and sing) about their name (me llamo = my name is), their friends (amigos), and hi and bye (hola and adios!). They also know that Yo puedo means I can. Last week, we drew self portraits and wrote our names on the bottom. We talked about how Frida Kahlo was an artist in Mexico who drew self portraits. Some students recognized her name and character from the movie Coco.
First graders are working on learning new feelings including happy, sad, hungry, thirsty, angry, sleepy, sick, and bored. Ask your child ¿Cómo estás? and see what they say! Second graders have been working on calendar words - days of the week, months, seasons, and numbers. We are learning to count into the 60s this year. See how high your child can count now! Third grade has started one of my favorite units... animals! They are learning about different animals and their habitats. Fourth grade is soon starting to read an actual book called El Capibara con Botas. Ask your child what they know about the strange animal named the Cabybara!
