This Week/Esta Semana Pre-K-1st


Week of December 14th

The last story for the semester is La Princesa y el Sapo, The Princess and the Frog. The frog retrieves a special ball for the princess and in return she has to play, feed him and be his friend- amiga.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas break! ¡Feliz Navidad!

Week of December 7th


We are finishing with "The Three Little Pigs" and singing "El Lobo," the song and game about a wolf that we learned when we read "The Little Red Riding Hood." The song is about a wolf getting dressed, so we will review clothing as we play and add a couple of winter ones.

Week of November 16th
 
Our story this week is "Rapunzel."  Again there will be lots of opposites to talk about. The princess will be very high up in the tower without stairs, and she must let down her long hair for any visitors to come up. Our stretches will take us high up to the tower, down low to the ground and our arms will show how long Rapunzel's hair is.
