May vocabulary
by Paula Fortini on 05/02/17
This month the children will be learning about the Mexican flag (bandera) for cinco de mayo, and reviewing many words we learned this year. We will also be giving them some longer phrases to put with the words they already know. Te amo (I love you), se llama (her/his name is). Some verbs we are adding so they can begin more complete thoughts are: Jump (saltar), run (correr), fly (volar), swim (nadar), walk (caminar).
March and April Lessons
by Paula Fortini on 03/21/17
This month we will be continue to practice spring (primavera)words, action words and circus activities. We will be doing some Spring and bunny (conejo) activities and learning about animals as the children start spending more time outside.
Some of the art projects you may see come home are a leprechaun (duende), shamrock (trebol) and a rabbit (conejo). Even if your family doesn't celebrate Easter these are common words for children so we use the opportunity to learn them this month. We are working with the children on remembering that the color word goes after the shape. We don't explain it this way to the kids but for you, in essence the noun comes first then the adjective. For example we don't say green circle we say circulo verde. The kids learn this easily because they think it's funny.

February Lessons
by Paula Fortini on 02/24/16
Some of the art projects you may see come home are a snowman (hombre de nieve), a toothbrush. Most schools have dentistas come to school in early febrero so we are preparing them for that visit by making a toothbrush (cepillo). You should see a heart (corazon) come home too. We are learning the I love you song (te amo) and family words to go in that song.

September lessons
by Paula Fortini on 09/01/15
This month the children will be learning clothing words, school supply
words, community helpers and Halloween vocabulary. We will be working on
our clothing song. Some of the projects you will see coming home are: a spider (arana) and a house that the cartero (mail carrier) brings mail to.
Even though it is only septiembre we will be focusing on Halloween words since the kids love these.
As you shop with your child you may want to go
down the decoration aisle and see which words your child can name. Don't
forget to print your
vocabulary from our parent page so you can
practice at home.
Please remember not all our schools do the same lessons on the same week. All our teachers are trained to adapt the lessons to make sure we are meeting the review needs of the children in that group. Some groups move more quickly through our lessons and others need more review time.
If you have any questions about your child's progress or we can be of any assistance just email or call us
