Your Language Connection:

On the last day of camp, the children present their parents with a sampling of what they have learned at camp. This past week, they sang “Los Pollitos” and “Los Vocales”. They made maracas and received pictures from Señora Wimer to remember Spanish Camp. The audience was large, but the children were not shy and gave us quite a performance.

The next camp coming up will be the Spanish Immersion Camp for ages 8 and older. They will be visiting 5 different Hispanic countries, and learning about and preparing food from those countries. Then there is the Chinese camp for ages 4 – 8, where they will be learning a variety of things about the Chinese culture and some useful phrases and vocabulary.

Check in regularly to see the exciting things happening at language camp!

Yummy, yummy in my tummy

Just kidding! It may look like we’re hungry, but we’re just practicing for our presentation tomorrow. I guess you’ll just have to wait and find out who’s really hungry.

We made instruments today that we use in our presentations. We made them to remind us about the parrandas, where the people march around with instruments and make noise. Sorry madre and padre, these instruments do make a lot of noise!

This week’s theme is classroom objects and commands. The children had time to read some “libros” together and enjoyed telling the others what to do – in Spanish. They learned the vocabulary quickly and won the game against Señora. They are working on making a memory game they will bring home to play, so keep an eye out for it.
