I hope everyone is enjoying this unbelievably beautiful fall weather! The Oregon Ducks got the W in their first conference game, so if the Pats win today, we will be extra happy at my home this weekend :). This past week, students worked both independently and collaborately in Math rotations, started recording information in their Science notebooks, and experienced our formal Social Emotional Curriculum: Open Circle. Additionally, students learned almost half of the "key word/images" for our phonics curriculum: Estrellita (oso, avión, imán, uvas, estrella, mano, pez, sombrero, luna, tortuga, dedo, y ratón). After we introduce all of the key words, we will circle back and dive deeper into each sound and letter to create a solid foundation in their Spanish language skills. This week students will learn about the basics of "read to self", meet Gabriel Baldwin, our in house Mindfulness coach, and start learning more about fall and trees as part of our Science curriculum! Action Items/Reminders: 1. A permission slip for our upcoming field trip on Friday, October 4th to Honeypot Orchards will be going home with your child on Monday. Please return ASAP. We can invite two parents to join us as chaperones. If you would like to participate and have an up to date CORI form, please indicate so on the permission slip. Two parent names will be picked out of a hat - gracias! 2. Thank you to all parents who have signed up and confirmed their conference time! I will be sending home individual reminders as it gets closer to your conference. Do not forget to do and submit your "parent homework" prior to your conference! 3. Please continue the excellent communication about dismissal changes and absences! Be on the lookout: In an effort to bring more Spanish "home" with students to share with their families, students will be taking turns bring home some of our "mensajes de la mañana" and "preguntas del día" (matemáticas) on anchor chart paper. My hope is that students can take ownership of their learning by teaching you about some of the things we do together in class! Songs to practice at home: Here are some more songs that you can enjoy with your child at home: 1. Cabeza, hombros, rodillas y pies (x3) ojos, orejas, boca y nariz, cabeza, hombros, rodillas y pies! Ask your child how we make this silly/more challenging! 2. Yo me llamo (tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb) "Yo me llamo ___________ (your name)___________ (your name), _______________ (your name), yo me llamo __________,(your name) ¿Cómo te llamas tú? *This might be fun to sing around the dinner table with the whole family! 3. Buenos dias - Jose-Luis Orozco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-UXGWTEfEI This week's slideshow features playground fun, "choice time," Loker's Harvest Festival (thank you to Crosby's and Natalie's mom!), our first "persona misteriosa": Maya, and more! As things pick up speed, it may be harder to catch all these sweet moments, but we will continue to do our best!
