00:18 This Week in Spanish Class: Exploring Culture! …

This week, our students had the wonderful opportunity to learn about Las Posadas, a cherished tradition celebrated in many parts of Latin America during this season. Las Posadas is a festive nine-day celebration leading up to Christmas that brings families and communities together with songs, food, and joyful gatherings.
As part of our learning, we explored the cultural significance of piñatas, a vibrant and essential part of Posadas celebrations. Students discovered the history behind the piñatas and how it symbolizes fun, unity, and cultural tradition. And of course, we got hands-on by creating our very own piñatas!
These activities are a beautiful way for our students to connect with the rich traditions of Latino culture, fostering curiosity, appreciation, and joy.
Thank you for supporting your children in this cultural journey ¡Felices Posadas!

00:08 Venado (Reindeer) Shapes: A Fun Way to Learn Spanish!

Dear Families,

This week, our students worked on a special project combining shapes with creativity! Each student created a mini book featuring shapes like triángulo, círculo, cuadrado, and rectángulo—but this time, each shape had the face of a reindeer (venado).
The students brought their venado shape book home to practice and share what they’ve learned. Please encourage your child to tell you the names of the shapes in their book and how to pronounce them in Spanish.

Wishing you and your family a joyful winter break!

1:25 ¿Puedo ir al baño? Room 106

Dear Parents of Room 106,
I wanted to share a fun update with you all! We've been enjoying a catchy song in class called "¿Puedo ir al baño?" and it has quickly become one of the students' favorites. I introduced it with the purpose of helping them learn how to say "Maestra, ¿puedo ir al baño?" in a fun and engaging way. Not only have they picked up the lyrics, but they now sing it with so much enthusiasm every time they finish their work!
It’s amazing to see how much they love it. In fact, if we have just a few minutes left of class, the first thing they ask is, "Did we earn the baño song? Can we listen to it?" And I always say yes, because they truly enjoy singing it together!
If you listen to the video, you’ll hear how well they sing the lyrics—they’ve really mastered it! It’s wonderful to see them connecting with the language in such a playful and positive way.
Thank you for your continued support, and I’m excited to see them continue to learn and have fun with Spanish!

00:34 Celebrating Learning: Spanish and Sign Language Together!

Dear Families,
I’m thrilled to share that we have been continuing our journey of learning about family members, not only in Spanish but also in sign language! The students are excited and engaged as they explore these two beautiful languages simultaneously.
One of the highlights has been a song they’ve been practicing, which helps them remember the names of family members in both Spanish and sign language. They’ve worked so hard, and their enthusiasm is contagious!
During our Thanksgiving break, I encourage you to ask your child to show you how to say the names of family members in Spanish and sign language. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their learning and connect as a family.
Attached is a video showcasing how well they can sing and represent each family member using sign language. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do in class!
Thank you for your continued support, and I wish you all a safe and joyful Thanksgiving break.
