Vacation-Merry Christmas

Vacation-Merry Christmas

So far, we have been to Laguna Beach, the skateboard park (two times), and the mall. Our visit with Grandma has been filled with lots of baking, cooking and eating. 

 Holiday Dance Recital

Laguna Beach

We will try to do some fun activities in the next two weeks and some studying. It's been great to have a break from their extra-curricular activities!

Kindergarten Frequency words in English

English Words

Much to my amazement, he already knows the fist 10 words from the English word list.  The only word which gave him some difficulty was the word /the/.

During vacation, we will work on  all 50 of the English words, review the Spanish words, numbers and writing. He said he has trouble with spelling and reading in English.

These are the first 10 words in English:

School Work

Despite the Christmas festivities, the students still did alot of work and studied hard.  Progress reports were given out fo the midterm.  Jedadiah did really well in all areas!

Breakfast with Santa Claus

The week ended with a breakfast with Santa Claus.  Again the Multi-purpose room was crowded with parents, students and siblings enjoying pancakes or pozole, which I chose. It was incredible.  The students could wear the pj's to school, so everyone looked cozy and comfortable.
I can see areas where I can help out next year with organization.  It was a fun morning!

Christmas Program

Christmas Program

All five kindergarten classes performed Christmas songs on Thursday night.  The Multi-Purpose room was standing room only, as all of the parents gathered to watch their children.

The Dual Immersion students (both classes) started the program singing two songs, Cascabel and Mamacita, Donde  Esta Santa Claus.  After their performance, each of the English classes sang their songs and the finale was all five classes singing Feliz Navidad together.  It was great fun watching the kids sing and do their best!

Sra. Oliver was there with her new one-month old baby daughter.  The kids were so excited to see Sra. Oliver and her family. 

Gifts to Classmates

Gifts to Classmates

Thank God, Jedadiah was able to give a small goodie bag to all 23 of his classmates.  He was so happy to give a Christmas gift to his friends at school.  On Thursday evening, he gave out presents to all 6 of the kindergarten teachers and Mrs. Willis.  I love to see his radiating face when he is passing out the gifts. Giving is one of his gifts.
