Spanish
May, 2022
Note from your teacher
Hola familias,
Summer is fast approaching and we have started the last units in Spanish for this year!
In kindergarten, we are in Unit 4 about family, pets and the house. In first grade, we have started Unit 3 about community and community helpers. In second grade, we are learning about the Tropical Rainforest in unit 3. In third and fourth grade, we are learning about the restaurant and we are working on a restaurant project. In fifth grade, we are finishing Unit 2 about health and soon we are going to start Unit 3 about traveling.
During literacy week, all students engaged in different literacy activities in Spanish, including literacy centers, puzzles with rhyming words, games, and more. Also, mystery readers from fifth grade came to second grade to read. It was exciting to see students interacting in literacy activities in fun and different ways!
We look forward to continue learning and practicing Spanish with your child(ren) as we approach the last weeks of this school year!
Saludos,
Señora Quesada & Señora Mitchell
