Hola a todos,   

 
I hope all the special moms, aunts and grandmas have a wonderful day with their 
loved ones!  
 
After lots of excitement, we are having a relatively quiet week in Kinder. As part of 
our FOSS Science curriculum, we are now hosting and learning about goldflish, 
guppies and snails! We still have a few more critters to come!  
 
La contraseña secreta (secret password) to come into the classroom this week will 
be ​ ​“Necesito ayuda” (I need help).  
 
A peek at our  In ​Spanish Language Arts​, we will continue to practice 
week  words with vowel “i” as well as build on our prior knowledge 
of words and sentences with vowels “a” and “e.” P ​ lease 
remember how critical your nightly reading at home with 
your child is (in English or Spanish).Thank you!   
 
Palabras con poder: puedo, ver, las, nos, dan (repaso) 
 
In ​Math​, we will continue to explore addition and subtraction 
concepts in our small group rotations.  
 
In ​Social Emotional learning​, as part of our Open Circle 
curriculum, we will talk about “grateful thinking.” We are so 
lucky to have so much to be grateful for!  

Incorporating  Many card and board games can easily be adapted to be 
more Spanish at  played in Spanish. Some classroom favorites are: Uno, 
home  Monopoly, and Go Fish (a pescar).
