¡Bienvenidos a Kinder!
Welcome to our AM and PM Kindergarten Blog
In only a few short weeks, your child has begun to understand some simple commands and classroom vocabulary in our Spanish bilingual program. Language learning in Kindergarten starts orally... as it does at home. When your child was an infant, what did they learn first? To read, to write, to speak or to understand language? It seems silly to imagine an infant sitting and reading a book, doesn't it?
When learning a second, or third, or fourth language, the initial stage of acquiring that language is through listening. Gradually, the learner begins to speak and use language that has become familiar and routine. The later stages of language learning involve reading and writing. Over time, the learner continues this same cycle as their grammar and vocabulary bank expands. This early in the year, your child may not yet feel comfortable sharing some of their Spanish knowledge with you. To help stimulate your conversation with your child about what they are learning, here are some common words and phrases that they will hear throughout their day in Kindergarten. Hola... Adiós Hello... Good-bye Buenos días Good morning Buenas tardes Good afternoon ¡Nos vemos! We´ll see each other later! Vamos a ... comer, sentar, correr, caminar, jugar... We are going to... eat, sit, run, walk, play... Ahora Now ¡Ven acá! Come here! Sentados, sentados, todos sentados... Sit down, sit down, everyone sit down (song) Todos a la alfombra, for favor. Everyone to the carpet, please. ¡Zapatos en las manos! Shoes in your hands! ¡Limpiamos! Let´s clean up! ¡A recoger! Time to tidy up!
