Language Arts:
Our theme last week was on being ourselves and playing. We spent a lot of time in developing vocabulary and basic reading, especially focusing on t and d syllables. This week was on growing and changing. Our main selection focused on different stages of life and what children could do then. We practiced past tense constructions and used those to say what children could or could not do at different stages of their life. For phonetics we practiced l and s syllables. We have been working hard on emphasizing syllables to more easily read Spanish words.

Spelling words come from the letter and syllable combinations we are studying for the week as well as sight words. This coming week will be b and n combinations. When children learn to read Spanish they focus on syllable chunks rather than separate letters. na (nah) ba (bah) ne (nay) be (bay) ni (nee) bi (bee) no (no) bo (boh) nu (new) bu (boo)

(TEST WILL BE DECEMBER 6.) Spelling Words: nube (new bay) NOUN: cloud bota (boh - tah) NOUN: boot mano (mah - no) NOUN: hand bate (bah - tay) NOUN: (baseball) bat nido (nee - thoh) NOUN: nest Sight Words: va (bah) VERB: [he/she/it] goes van (bahn) VERB: [they] go dentro (den - troh) PREP: inside muy (moo/ee) ADV: very bien (bee - en) ADV: well, good
