This week we read Where the Wild Things Are in Spanish. When we finished reading we made masks from the book. Ask your children about some of the words they learned from the story. Here are some of the words and expressions: rey (ray) –king ; basta ya (bahs tah yah) – enough already.

</strong>We played the game I spy in Spanish. Ask your child to show you how to play I spy in Spanish. Veo, veo (veh oh, veh oh) – I spy ; que ves (kay vehs) – what do you see? Una cosita (ooh nah co see tah) something. Que cosita es? (kay coh see tah ehs) what is it?

We read Hogar en el aire in class. This story was about a person who took care of pigeons. These pigeons lived in an abandoned skyscraper in New York. After reading this story, we designed our own skyscrapers and identified the geometry in the architecture of the skyscraper. Ask your child about the vocabulary from the story.

In 3rd grade, we read about Diego Rivera. Now we’re painting our own Diego Rivera mural in class.

Enjoy your break!
