Week of November 1st. - November 5th.


 Hi Parents,
What a wonderful time we had last week. Thanks to you all for your cooperation and participation.
This week we are working with words that start with “m”, “p” and “s” so don’t forget that our children are allowed to bring something for show and tell which name in Spanish starts with those letters.
Our subject for this month is the parts of our body, the words to review are:
Las pestañas = the eyelashes
El talón = the heel
Los párpados = the eyelids
Las cejas – the eyebrows
El corazón = the heart
Los pulmones – the lungs
Los intestinos = the intestines
El estómago – the stomach
El cerebro – the brain
El pavo = the turkey
Ensayar = rehearse
Our rehearsals for the Thanksgiving show already started. We are so excited! You will receive more detailed information on how they need to be dressed, etc in a note that we will leave in your child’s cubbies. Details about the party will be shown in the November News.

Have a great weekend!
Miss Iris & Miss Claudia
