I don't know how many of you have heard of Dr. Jean, but if you haven't, your children LOVE her! The class and I listened to some new songs of hers today during circle time to wake ourselves up and feel a little more at ease about being in school. Ask you children about the Peanut Butter song. Oh my goodness, they were so funny dancing and singing!
We also started our Spanish class today, and we learned so much! Your kids are picking it up a lot faster than I am! In the near future our Spanish teacher will be speaking 90% in Spanish to our class. We learned three colors, numbers 1-10, and some vocal commands (stand up, sit down, raise your hand, listen, and look) today. I love watching the students open themselves up to other cultures. They are our further. It is important for them to know and understand that people are different. I was so pleased to see that none of the class giggled at Ms. Judy when she began to speak. I read today that learning a foreign language can improve your memory skill resulting from reading, learning and memorizing. It will also open up your mind to be more acceptable to other people’s differences. I am excited to see what all they (we) learn!
