Welcome to our world of discovery and learning!

Welcome to our daily blog! We use it to share daily updates on our classroom, reflections on our learning with children, and photographs. Extended family, friends, neighbors, educators, etc, are also encouraged to follow the blog!
One of the wonderful aspects of blogging is that it allows real-time interaction between home and school. Is your child talking about what we are doing in school? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you interested (or even an expert!) in something we are studying? Leave us a comment and let us know! Are you planning an outing with your child to extend the classroom learning? Leave us a comment and invite other families along!
We also have a section call, "Learn More About..." When we write each post, we tag it with relevant topics. And so if you wanted to see what we have been doing with, for instance, science, you would click on that tag, and see all the posts about science.

Español con las Lechuzas y los Búhos: Los Números: 1-6

¡Bienvenidos familia, amigas, y amigos! During la clase de Español, it was Tamara’s turn to choose our destination to a Spanish speaking country. After our traditional morning greeting in Spanish, she suggested we head to Venezuela.

Las Lechuzas y Los Búhos are asked in Spanish how we will get there:
¿Comó vamos a viajar? (How will we travel?)

And, a few suggestions are mentioned....
en carro (by car)
en tren (by train)
en bote (by boat)
en bicicleta (by bicycle)

But, Las Lechuzas y Los Búhos are catching on and know that our mode of transportation is by plane as they all responded, “en avión!”  So, off we went en avión to our destination. Upon our return, we settled into this Spanish speaking country and gathered in a círculo.

Next, we practiced saying the numbers 1 through 6 in Spanish. Using a jumbo die, each Lechuza y Búho got the chance to roll it and everyone was encouraged to clap and count in Spanish the amount the numbered rolled represented.
uno - one
dos – two
tres - three
cuatro – four
cinco - five
seis – six










Afterwards, we played a most enjoyable game of the “Swatter Game.” What a fruitful and fun way to help us reinforce learning!  










 We finished our class with our traditional ¡Adios. Hasta luego! song and Tamara squeezing la vaca. ¡Gracias, Tamara!

¡Hasta nuestro proximo viaje!

Paz,
Alicia
