In first grade we are finishing our portfolio pages for body parts and animals from the book "De la Cabeza a los pies" by Eric Carle. This month we will talk about "las golondrinas"(swallows) that are a sign for people in Spain that spring is coming. When the weather begins to warm up "las Golondrinas" (swallows) begin their migration north over Spain on their way to northern Europe where they spend the summer. Continuing our spring theme we will start "The Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and we will be focusing on days of the week and a few foods that the hungry caterpillar eats as he gets ready to turn into a butterfly.
In second and third grade we are finishing our portfolio pages on clothes. We will begin focusing on weather vocabulary in the month of April. "Hace calor" (It's hot), "Hace frío"(It's cold), "Hace sol" (It's sunny), "Está nublado"(It's cloudy), "Hace viento" (It's windy), "Está lloviendo"(It's raining), "Hace buen tiempo"(It's nice weather), "Hace mal tiempo"(It's bad weather), "Está nevando"(It's snowing), "Está tormentoso"(It's stormy), and "¿Qué tiempo hace?"(What's the weather like?). We will finish our culture units on El Salvador and Honduras. In 2nd and 3rd grades I've started to teach my students how to say "Yo fui..." (I went...). They're doing really well telling me where they went on the weekend. So proud of them!
