‘The sun shines in the east, the first rays of light end with the darkness of the night and the chirping of the birds warns us the last day of May has arrived.’ As it has happened fast in our school year!
This week, we finished the unit/La unidad “El Circo/The Circus”. Kiddos had a lot of fun with this unit as they enjoyed learning the circus vocabulary and pretending to be artists from the circus. They did a great job with this as well as all their fun projects. This week children added to their circus vocabulary while working with all our previous vocabulary: (circo y/o carpa/ circus, boleto/ticket, and payaso/clown, Pista/circus ring, Taquilla/ticket window, Palomitas/popcorns, Domador/tamer, Tigre/tiger, and Elefante/elephant, Jaula/ cage, Tren/ train, Trapecista/trapeze artist).
New vocabulary:
Foca/seal,
Caballo/horse,
Pelota/ball.
Kids had fun playing in the circus with hoops games and a circus memory game.
LETRA
This week kids learned the letter “Ch”. Be sure to point out the letter that we practice when you are reading. While in United States this is two separate letters, it’s one letter in Spanish. They do make the same sounds in both 
languages. Some examples:
Chicharo/peas,
Chocolate/chocolate,
Chile/chile,
Chivo/goat,
Chapulin/grasshopper or locust.
We did activities as, handwriting the letter Ch in the board, singing, letters games and letters recognition.
Números
This week we started working with the number 15. We had a fun time playing and using different items for sorting and counting. Sorting helps children see differences and similarities. We did activities such as counting and traced the number 15 (número quince) with play dough and other manipulatives.
La Figura y Color
We reviewed all the shapes we have learned this year; circle/circulo, square/cuadrado, triangle/triangulo, rectangle/rectangulo, oval/óvalo, heart/corazon, and star/Estrella and diamond/diamante. We also reviewed the colors that we’ve learned in our daily class routines: rojo/red, azul/blue, verde/green, amarillo/yellow, purpura/purple, cafe/brown, anaranjado o naranja/orange, pink/Rosado, and black/negro.
