Little Venice
Time has flown by! It has been a while since we’ve shared what we’ve learned in our Spanish class. Having been introduced to Spanish vocabulary names of clothing and parts of our face, we have also taken a brief trip to Little Venice a.k.a. Venezuela, where we’re drawn to the white beaches and warm climate, especially during this Spring weather. As we learn more on how to use Spanish articles, we’ll continue to explore Spanish verbs that end with ar, such as to work, to speak/talk, to dance, and to listen.

We have done so much this last month and we are preparing to do so much more for our upcoming celebration in mayo. In all the grades we have been learning about the natives of Latin America. We have been discussing about the Mayan, Aztecs and Incas. We are moving on to discuss about Mexico and how it grew and became the beautiful country that it has become. We will discuss some of its influential people and the battle that took place in Puebla and that will lead into our grand FIESTA Cinco de Mayo.
11- Students are working hard in preparing for their regents. Students are heavily concentrated in studying and sharpening their skills that have acquired in their time in español.

In 7th grade we are continuing to work on conjugating verbs. Please help your child to study as this is an area that needs to be developed more. We are practicing to read aloud in Español; to help us put all our learned vocabulary into structured sentences. We had a wonderful delicious party to finish our unit on foods and markets. Thank you to all the parents that helped their child in creating these wonderful platters. YUMMY.

The sounds of singing and music could be heard and the smells of delicious food filled the hallways and classrooms of our school. What an awesome night it was! On Thursday, March 24th the school was filled with over 1,500 adults and children. One parent described it as a “huge party”! Students proudly explained their projects as eager listeners tasted, smelled, and watched.
The students and staff worked very hard and I believe this year was the very best Annual Academic Fair we have ever had. Pre-K focused on plants and they even grew their very own. One Kindergarten studied the planets and the Solar System and even made costumes and performed a play. The other Kindergarten focused on the book “A La Casa de la Mama Provie”. Were she goes door to door to gather food for her recipe. The Kindergartners made recipes and then cooked the dish. First Grade learned about community helpers and chose one to focus on.
Third through Twelfth grades chose their own projects from a variety of subjects such as: Science, History, English, Sports, Math, Bible, etc… Projects ranged from animal dissections to a car made out of recyclables to delicious cupcakes made from scratch. A big thank you goes out to everyone involved from staff to students to parents for making this event a HUGE success!

Wonders Under The Sea
The PreK-K Afterschool students have been talking about sea creatures with their letters of the alphabet. They listened to a story about a Dolphin entitled Guru Dennis Dolphin: Communicate Kindness by Dr. Michael J. Tudor. The children also looked at beautiful photos in a book entitled Oceans published by National Geographic Kids written by Johnna Rizzo. National Geographic has wonderful resources for children. nationalgeographic.com/books. After coloring pictures of sea creatures we put them on the Bulletin Board.

March is all about choices
We’re also talking about making healthy choices when we eat during our Healthy Foods Literacy Day. God put so many yummy fruits and vegetables here for us to eat. We’re having fun reading books, watching videos, and making projects that will help us choose the foods that make our bodies strong!

Can you decide to be like Saint Patrick and use your life to spread the Gospel? Maybe we can’t travel an entire nation yet, but we can tell the friends and family we have around us about Jesus, just like Saint Patrick did!
