La primera unidad de segundo grado es "Bilingual and Proud", donde se espera que el estudiante desee llegar a ser un nino bilingue, capaz de dominar dos lenguajes. Habla con tu hijo(a) de los beneficios de ser bilingue aqui en Puerto Rico o en otros paises.
Empezamos tambien un diario o "journal" donde de vez en cuando los estudiantes contestaran una pregunta y escribiran lo que sienten. El "journal" sera una nota completa al final del semestre.
Estaremos repasando el calendario, los dias y los meses. Este jueves, 30 de agosto de 2012 habra un corto examen de los dias de la semana. Mrs. Ruiz

Padres de Kindergarten:
La primera unidad de Kindergarten es "About Me", se hablara de las razones por las que todos somos especiales, las partes del cuerpo, la familia y los colores.
Empezaremos por los colores... preguntale mucho :" What color is this?" para que practique todos los colores.
La libreta de ingles en kinder es la numero 3.... algunos estudiantes tienen dos libretas numero 3, por favor arreglar las libretas para que los estudiantes no se confundan.
Algunos no han traido todavia su foto, la foto se pegara al lado de una tarjeta con el nombre del estudiante en la pared para que el nino se le haga facil escribir su nombre y aprenderse el nombre de los demas.
