    De la Seora:This week was all about fall. We

    had a different fall theme each day and

    worked on our fall booklet in writing.

    The class is doing well with the

    dictated sentences and also in creating

    a few sentences of their own! Perhaps

    the highlight was today in experiencingpumpkins. We did pumpkin explorations

    to count seeds and lines on the pumpkin,

    and also guess whether the pumpkin

    would float or not. We practiced

    predicting and then revising our

    answers. They also got to decorate

    their pumpkins as a table group.

    Thanks too to our special reader

    to celebrate our star of the week! Theclass loved having Mr. McCarty come in

    and read.

    This coming week we will begin our Language Arts curriculum,

    Tesoros. Spelling words come from the letter and syllablecombinations we are studying for the week as well as sight

    words. This coming week will be m and p combinations.

    When children learn to read Spanish they focus on syllable

    chunks rather than separate letters.

    ma (mah) me (may) mi (me) mo (moe) mu (moo)

    pa (pah) pe (pay) pi (pee) po (poh) pu (poo)

    You can now find on my wiki a recording of me pronouncing the words to

    help your child practice spelling each one.

    sube (soo- bay) VERB: [he/she/it] goes up, climbs

    salta (sahl- tah) VERB: [he/she/it] jumpsbaja(bah- hah) VERB: [he/she/it] goes down

    ama(ah- mah) VERB: [he/she/it] loves, cares for
