Español

We are having fun getting back into Spanish again. The first thing the kids remembered and wanted to play was Fuego en el Bosque - Fire in the Forest. We reviewed parts of animals and bodies, and played! I am also using more Spanish in general without translating.

Then, finally, the weather is dry enough to do what the students have been dying to do since Día de los Muertos when I had the younger classes: Calaveras de azúcar - Sugar skulls. We talked about the tradition, who we would be remembering while making the skulls (they are always so sweet, thoughtful and respectful regarding this topic), and discussed everything else that comes up, as always. This is a process as they have to dry before we decorate them. I hope they got home in one piece last week!

We brainstormed what the kids want to do as we approach summer: make tortillas, learn about what is in a Mexican Market, games, play…..so that is what we will do :)

As always, I’m open to thoughts and ideas. Muchas Gracias a todos.
