Aprendemos en casa: We learn at home


Language learning tip of the week…

Whether your child is in a Spanish Immersion school or not, you may want to continue language learning at home during weekends, vacations, and other out-of-school time.  One great way to encourage your child (and yourself) to use Spanish at home is to label household objects with their Spanish names.  The labels could even include a photo of the object with the word beneath it to help children associate a word's meaning with the print.  Here is a simple list to get you started.

Español
English
La nevera
Refrigerator
El fregadero
Sink (kitchen)
La mesa
Table
La silla
Chair
La cama
Bed
El lavamanos
Sink (bathroom)
El inodoro
Toilet
La ventana
Window
La puerta
Door

Let us know how it goes and stay tuned for more language learning tips from Pine Village Preschool!
