Estimados Padres,
This week in Spanish we focused on two opposite words- big and little. We also reviewed the Spanish word for "happy"- contento. We sang "If you're happy and you know it" in Spanish (Si tu estas contento). We reviewed some commands such as "clap," "stomp" and "shout hurray!"
Today I introduced the Spanish ABC song, which is called "El Abecedario." We will be singing it each week. The tune is different than the English ABC song and with the older children I discussed how there are extra letters in the Spanish ABCs.
We did a craft today with happy face stickers. The children had to sort them into the right column for grande (big) and pequeno (little). When they were done, I worked with them individually on their counting and also had them say the colors in Spanish.
Focus Words:
Contento (happy)
Grande (big) gron-day
Pequeno (little) pay-kane-yo
Estoy contento (I'm happy)
At Home Practice Idea:
Ask your child to name you animals that are "grande" (big).
Ask your child to name you animals that are "pequeno" (small/little).
*You could also hold up photos of animals or objects and ask "Es grande o pequeno?" (Is it big or little).
Next week (March 7th) will be our final class for the Winter Session. Payment of $72 will be due for the Spring Session. Checks can be made to "Best Amigos Preschool Spanish."
We will conclude the Spring with a Spanish recital in May. I will get you the dates of your school's recital as soon as I have confirmed with each school director.
Hasta la proxima semana!
Senora Mellor
