Brrr! Even with the colder temperatures and snow we have been going outside and releasing energy. Keep positive thoughts that Spring is around the corner:)
This week Betsy showed the kids how to make guacamole dip out of avocados, lime juice and salt. The students then spread it onto corn chips. It was a big hit. Thank You Betsy!
Karen came in on Monday and did a wool craft with the students. She will be coming back next Monday to work with students who did not have a chance to do it.
We have a new collage work out on the art shelf with beans and foam shapes. There is a boat scale and sand wheel out on the shelf now as well. Today I worked with a few students on telling time. We made a clock out of the line on the floor by adding numbers and 'hands'. Students have been learning how to make 'God's Eyes' or "Eye of God". In many of the Pueblos of New Mexico Ojos de Dios have traditionally been created for celebration or blessing, presented as a gift or designed to bless a home. https://en.m.wikipedia.org
Thank you Bonnie for coming in today and reading Dr. Seuss books in honor of his birthday.

Estimados Padres,
February was a great month. The kids enjoyed the Valentine’s Day Celebration.
We reviewed colors and numbers with different activities. Also, they enjoyed the book “Ratones” (mice), where they had to help me to count them in Spanish and recognize the Spanish colors of them.
After Valentine’s Day, we started the unit “ La comida” (food). We talked about favorite foods, favorite drinks, and favorite fruits and vegetables.
Also, they have enjoyed the song “Chocolate bate bate” and the book: “La Oruga muy Hambrienta” (The very hungry caterpillar)
Next month, we are going to start with the unit “La ropa” (clothing).
If you have any comments or questions, please don’t hesitate to write me at: [email protected].
