Spanish

Happy New Year 2025! We hope you are all staying healthy and doing well. We can hardly believe January is here! These weeks we continue finishing Unit 2 across all the grades. Students have been working diligently in their projects and it is wonderful to see how much more confident they are now presenting and talking with other classmates in Spanish! In kindergarten students are coloring a kite and they are saying the colors in Spanish; in first grade students are finishing the book project "Mi escuela Lowell," and they are presenting their project to the class. In second grade, students are presented their ideal schedule while using the sentence "en la mañana tengo____ (in the morning I have______); en la tarde tengo______(in the afternoon I have______). In third grade, students are working on a project called "All About Me." In fourth grade students are interviewing classmates and in fifth grade, students are creating a famous person to present it to the class .

In December, saw end of the year celebrations in Hispanic countries and they made paper lanterns after learning about "Noche de los Farolitos," a tradition celebrated in Colombia.

We are looking forward to continue learning and practicing Spanish with your child(ren)!

Have a great new year ahead!

Saludos,

Sra. Quesada & Sra. Mitchell
