New Classroom Aula Nueva

This week grades 3 through 10 have been doing standardize testing. Sixth grade shares a wall with us. Fifth and Fourth grades are on our other sides. The walls in this building are not sound proof. So we had to have class in the library. "At first it was hard for me to focus" said Josue, "but then I got used to it." Esta semana tercero hasta segundo de bachillerato estuvieron tomando examenes. Sexto grado comparte una pared con nostoros. Quinto y cuarto estan a los otros lados. Las paredes en este edificio pasan mucho sonido. Por eso tuvimos que coger clase en la biblioteca. "Al principio fue dificil concentrar," dijo Josue, "pero despues me acostumbre."

We're Busy! Estamos ocupados!

Last week a dentist came one one of the work teams. He taught us all how to brush our teeth and gave us all fluoride. Yuck!

La semana pasada vino un dentista con uno de los equipos de trabajo. El nos enseno como cepillar los dientes y nos dio florida. Aqueoroso
With the other work team we interviewed some of the people and made a book about them.

Con otro equipo, entrevistamos algunos de las personas y hicimos un libro sobre ellos.
Today we learned and practiced measuring long distances with our yard sticks.

You are Loved! Tu Eres Amado!



Today we got some love from California. Grades 1 - 6 recieved buttons that said "You are Loved." In Second grade we talked about how much people can love us like our families & our friends, but how God's love is so much bigger than that. We learned how God the Father loves us so much that he sent his ONLY son Jesus to die for us! That love is bigger than any human love!

Hoy recibimos amor de California. Primer hasta sexto grado recibieron butones que dicen "Eres amado." En segundo grado hablamos de como las personas nos pueden amar, como nuestras familias y amigos, pero el amor de Dios es mucho mas grande que eso. Aprendimos como Dios el Padre, nos ama tanto que mando a su UNICO hijo Jesus para morir para nosotros! Ese amor es mucho mas grande que cualquier amor humano!
