Today we read El chivo en la huerta (The Goat in the Garden).  Ask your child about the book and see if he or she can remember some of the words from the story.  El chivo (ehl chee voh)- goat, el torito (ehl toe ree toe) - little bull, la hormiguita (lah or mee gee tah) little ant.  After reading the story we counted the chili peppers using tally marks.  This week we will continue to focus on counting by 2's, 5's and 10's.
