We have been learning the basic Spanish alphabet and how to pronounce every letter correctly. To enhance our learning the students have been creating a booklet of the alphabet with corresponding pictures that will help them to remember the sounds. We have also been learning new vocabulary words in order to have more knowledge for conversational Spanish.

We made colorful and beautiful butterflies out of our feet! And we made shape hats for the tops of our heads. We also started learning about plants and seeds. Come back in May to learn if our seeds grow!

We have now started at the beginning of the alphabet and will learn to write the letters A-N by June. We continue to write our first names, and have even written words, just like big kids! We will learn the numbers 17-20 by the end of May.

Just before Easter vacation, instead of having a party, the class had a sharing snack. The children brought in snacks they like to share with their classmates. Yes, on this day, chocolate was allowed! We had lots of yummy things to eat.
Miss Holden
In Bible time we learned what Easter is really about. Jesus died for our sins on the cross, and that He is alive today! We memorized I Cor. 15:3 & 4, which tells the whole Easter Story. We have also been learning a song about David and Goliath for a chapel service in May.

April started out with a bang in Pre-K 4, with a class trip to Chuck E. Cheese. We had so much fun! We drove cars, played games, rode the horse, won tickets and got prizes with those tickets. We climbed thru a tunnel high in the air. And we enjoyed all that noise that Chuck is famous for. Our trip ended with a lunch of pizza and fruit punch.
Miss Holden
We had a great time tracing our numbers with popcorn kernels and creating fun, silly
poems that would help the students gain number recognition.

“Spring is here, and we are all excited”. Children were able to learn about the different parts of a bird – beak, wings, etc. We also had a great time making our beautiful bright colored flowers. In chapel we are named the Sunbeams. Our slogan is “The Sunbeams Are Blooming!” Children traced flowers and decorated them with tissue paper and pictures of themselves

The students have been learning about how our economy works. What a time to learn about the free market economy, as we are in a time period of a recession. The class continues to participate in the Stock Market Game online, one of our teams has even entered the top 10% of all the teams playing which is extremely impressive, maybe the students should be in charge of our stocks instead of Wall Street. We are now entering a chapter known as Factors of Production. This chapter should interest any student who wants to go into business as we discuss all the aspects, which businesses have to understand to be successful. Hopefully this class has the next Bill Gates.

For the past two weeks we have been discussing one of the largest conflicts in human history, World War II. For me this has been exciting as World War II history has always fascinated me since I found out my grandfather fought for Canada in World War II. We have gone over the causes and the major events of this time period and the rise of totalitarian governments across Europe. Next week the students will read an excerpt discussing the pros and cons of dropping the atomic bomb. Afterwards the class will debate whether or not the United States should have dropped the atomic bomb on Japan in World War II. The Regents is less than two months away, so we are getting ready to review for the Regents soon.
