From the immersion director
We have an excellent opportunity to host Betsy Sneller at Zeeland Christian on Dec. 11 at 7:00 for a presentation titled Learning about Learning Languages. Betsy is a graduate of Zeeland Christian (Mr. Sneller’s daughter!) who is also a postdoctoral research fellow at Georgetown University. She conducts research and speaks broadly on language acquisition. Please consider joining us in the media center for a time of interactive learning about how our children are actively acquiring their new language while also growing in their English proficiency. More detailed information will be sent as it is available.
Book it!
The Pizza Hut Book It reading calendar will be sent soon! Check your child’s communication folders. The program runs from October thru March.

Curriculum

Bible:

Joseph

– Bible Memory:

y, mientras estaban allí, se le cumplió el tiempo. Así que dio a luz a su hijo primogénito. Lo envolvió en pañales y lo acostó en un pesebre, porque no había lugar para ellos en la posada. En esa misma región había unos pastores que pasaban la noche en el campo, turnándose para cuidar sus rebaños. Sucedió que un ángel del Señor se les apareció. La gloria del Señor los envolvió en su luz, y se llenaron de temor. 10 Pero el ángel les dijo: «No tengan miedo. Miren que les traigo buenas noticias que serán motivo de mucha alegría para todo el pueblo. 11 Hoy les ha nacido en la Ciudad de David un Salvador, que es Cristo el Señor. 12 Esto les servirá de señal: Encontrarán a un niño envuelto en pañales y acostado en un pesebre».13 De repente apareció una multitud de ángeles del cielo, que alababan a Dios y decían: 14 «Gloria a Dios en las alturas,  y en la tierra paz a los que gozan de su buena voluntad».

Reading:

Bookbag was sent home last Friday. Please send them back on Monday.
Please, keep encouraging them to read at home daily.
Strategies:

  • I can use the pictures to help me
  • I can get my mouth ready for the first sound or syllable
  • I check that what I see matches what I say
  • I can find parts (syllables) that I already know in words to help me
  • If it’s a long word or a word I don’t know, I can put my finger under each syllable to read syllable by syllable and then go back and re-read the WHOLE word
  • Does it make sense? Does it look right?  (if it doesn’t go back and re-read)
  • I say the first sound and slide through all the sounds
  • I can say known words quickly and accurately

Books and book-bags should return to school on Monday.
