Hello Families!

It was so nice this week to see a majority of our students back in school! I really miss the students when they are gone and worry about them too. That being said, I hope you are all well.

ASL 2: This week in ASL 2 students created sentences with points of interest for the following countries and will need to sign them by no later than tomorrow. The countries this week include the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany and Poland. This week students are also working on Lesson 49 and should sign it no later than Monday, but preferably by Friday of this week. Next week we will tackle lesson 50!

ASL 1: This week ASL 1 students had receptive fingerspelling practice on the ASL University website on Monday. They are also working on the practice sentences for Lesson 19. By the end of this week students should have about 380 signs in their ASL vocabulary. Wow! Great job students! Next week we will complete Lesson 20.

Spanish 2: This week in Spanish 2 students completed a Duolingo assignment on Monday and began an assignment on e to ie stem changing verbs. We also went into culinary to make masa and filling for the tamales that we will eat on Día de Candelaria. The masa is vegetarian and we will make two types of filling for the tamales, one vegetarian and the other is made with ham and is muy sabroso (tasty). Students also read with students from the culinary class and taught them about the Latin American holidays and traditions surrounding Christmas. Las Posadas kicks off the holiday season, followed by La Noche Buena, La Navidad, Día de Los Tres Reyes Magos on January 6th and Día de Candelaria on February 2nd.  Next week we will make atole and arroz con gandules and celebrate El Día de Candelaria, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ, or Candlemas!

Special thanks to our culinary teacher Señor Ramos for collaborating with me to give our students a well rounded education that includes the food traditions of Latin American countries!

Have a great rest of the week and a great weekend!
