Senorita Bejarano
Many of Senorita Bejarano’s students enjoyed seeing their teacher sing and play in the Mariachi band over the weekend.
They were excited to see how talented she is and what she does outside of classroom teaching.
3rd Grade Field Trip
The 3rd graders all went to Old Pueblo and completed the archeological dig. They learned so much on this field trip.
Talent Show
The students did such a great job at the talent show. Huge shout out to Ms. Erin and Mrs. Bacalia for supporting the Talent Show.

Family Engagement
A huge success!
Thank you everyone who participated in and came to the Talent Show on Friday! We had over 65 students perform on stage or via video. Students did an amazing job on their performances. A special thank you to Ms. Erin from CARE, our awesome parent volunteers & student volunteers who helped behind the scenes, and the incredible 3rd Grade Girl Scout Troop who did all the stage changes!

Spanish Corner
¡Hola amigos!
Creating a routine is a wonderful technique that will help your family learn Spanish. For starters, keeping a language routine to a simple activity will help build a foundation for Spanish to be a part of your family's habits. Yoga is perfect for this!
Here are some resources for Spanish yoga exercises to do together:
Parent & Child Yoga Poses in Spanish
Sun Salutation - Saludo al Sol
Learning Spanish as a family is the best way to learn the language -
¡Hasta la próxima semana!
