Marhaba!
The
Arabic language students continue to work diligently as we are ending
the month of February. Students can name many things in the classroom
and can communicate with me using short phrases and familiar vocabulary
that we have been studying since the beginning of the year. This month,
our focus is on describing things around us by colors, size and shapes.
By the end of next month students will create their first Arabic book
about "Things in The Classroom".
Students
continue to be enthusiastic about learning Arabic. They love to greet
me with a smile in the hall with "Marhaba" and "Keef Alhal?" They love
to sing in Arabic and the fun does not stop here!
As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me by email: basuni@aaps.k12.mi.us

Hola!
February flew by and we are well into our next units in Spanish!
Kindergarten through second grade learned clothing words, and we are
now working on a numbers book that reviews our color words, number
words, fruit vocabulary, and clothing vocabulary!
Third
grade finished up their weather unit and made great posters about the
weather in each season! We are now working on description words and
being able to say what we, and others, look like.
Fourth grade finished up their family unit by making family trees! We are now working on body part vocabulary.
After
our school locations and directions unit in fifth grade, we moved onto
sports and hobbies. The students are learning the vocabulary and
culture behind some of the most popular sports. We will also learn how
to share our likes and dislikes about these sports and hobbies.
I
traveled to Mexico over winter break and enjoyed the chance to practice
my Spanish! I was also able to take several pictures and bring back a
few artifacts that I will be sharing as we continue to learn the
language and the culture of Spanish-speaking countries.
I am excited for the remainder of the year and the rest of the learning we will be doing!
Questions, comments, or concerns, please email me!
