A visit with Mrs. Vega's class!

¡Hola niños y niñas! I had another exciting week in Reynolds School with Mrs. Vega's class.  They get to do a lot of fun things in first grade.  This week they have been getting ready for their show called Passport to Learning.  All year long they have been learning about different cultures and noticing the how those countries are similar or different than the United States of America.   The class has been researching facts about different countries and singing songs.  They even sing a song in Spanish called ¡Canta! and they wrote their own verse for the song.

The class has been reading different versions of The Gingerbread Man and learning why the stories are different in other countries. They figured out it was because their culture influences the different versions of the Gingerbread Man. They even read The Gingerbread Baby, The Runaway Tortilla, and The Gingerbread Girl.  

I even got to play Math games on the computer and practice spelling words during Word Study. On Friday, Mrs. Vega gives the class "Ketchup & Pickle Time." Students who are not finished with their work need to "catch up" on the work they missed, while others are "picking" something to do.  You will see that I was drawing on my whiteboard during Pickle Time.

I hope you enjoyed reading this entry.  I had a blast and I hope Rocket is having a blast, too! ¡Hasta luego!
