What a fun and busy week we had! We not only con
tinued learning about community workers but we also celebrated Earth Day!
We learned all about the different people who work as part of grocery stores. There are truck drivers, people to stock the shelves, people who work in the produce section and meat departments, and the people who work at the cash register.
We joined the rest of the school in an Earth Day celebration of ….gardening! We became jardineros for a day. We all worked together to clear our school garden of rocks and woodchips. We used our gardening tools and pulled a lot of weeds and grass / pasto. We also completed Earth Day projects in class (during the rainy Thursday and Friday classes.)
Letras y Números
This week we introduced the letter Y. The letter Y has the letter name: i griega. It makes two distinct sounds in Spanish: /ē/ as in bee and /y/ as in yellow. In some Spanish speaking countries you will also hear this sound as /j/ as in Jack.
It is very typical for young children to form the letter Y incorrectly. As with all letters, this letter is formed from t
he top down. The common error occurs here: The short part is on the left and the long part is on the right.
We continued to work with the number 15, quince, all week. They are doing a great job counting and matching groups of objects to the correct number.
We also had a few older siblings join us for Bring Your Child to Work Day. They were very helpful and fun to have in the classroom with us!
