Salutation and highlights of  week (Saludo y resumen de las actividades importantes de la semana):

Hello Sapitos Parents! The past week our Sapitos were very busy with many things and having a lot of fun. They learned about transportation vehicles.  Last Thursday, they went shopping at the “Sff! Supermarket” and found items with 60% and 80% clearance, WOW! It was a lucky day for everybody. They have also started with the rehearsal for our Holiday Party and they are working very hard to give a great performance that day.

Christmas is a tradition where everyone can appreciate and enjoy the 'miracles' that come from loving, sharing, thinking and caring. For this reason, our children will have a chance to recognize special person by creating a Christmas project. To honor cultural diversity, our Sapitos will complete cooking and art projects to further learn about the stories of both Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. They also will learn how things fly – either through nature (birds) or human engineering (airplanes)- to recognize the Wright Brothers’ First Flight Anniversary.

Song of the Month/Week (Cancion del mes/semana):

Make the line (Hacer la fila)
Uno tras del otro
Vamos a marchar
Hacienda una fila
Vamos todos vamos ya
Como un trencito
Chucu chucu chucu cha
Hacienda la fila
Aqui en Sff (x2)

Poem of the week 2/Poesia 2
El cocinero mezcla los sabores
Tiene su cocina de ricos olores
El veterinario cura perros y pajaritos
Siempre esta rodeado de animalitos
Pinceles, pomos y telar usa el pintor
Hizo un cuadro de mucho color.

Riddles/Adivinanza
Con canciones y con cuentos
Me gusta ensenar
En la escuela a los niños
De Spanish for fun.

Respuesta: La maestra

Twister/Trabalengua

Erre con rr carril
Rapido corren los carros
Rapido el ferrocarril
