September 2025

September has been so much fun. I have been especially excited about our Spanish immersion class! I have been hearing the children say the days of the week and numbers and I have been hearing them sing Spanish songs which is so cute to watch. This month our book of the month was The Kissing Hand, and our theme was all about me. We discussed our family’s traditions and what our dinners and outings look like. The children’s favorite share was when they brought a family picture. They loved being able to share who is in their family and the fun part is we got to say it in Spanish because of how much we have been hearing those Spanish words. 



We have been working on grace and courtesy like pushing in our chair, saying please and thank you, waiting our turn, introducing ourselves, and practicing when to use our inside and outside voices. It has been extra fun because as we work through the curriculum, we are also learning Spanish, and I love to see the children absorb all these Spanish words. I can now say “sillas” and the children know that I mean “chairs”, I can now say “mesas” and the children know I mean “table” with the context that I use it in. I love to see it. 

The children understand what we are saying with the expressions of our faces, the tone of our words, and our hand signals so I cannot wait to see their progress in a few months. 

This month was also extra special because it was Hispanic heritage month, so we got to learn about Frida Kahlo, and it was so cool to hear the children constantly talk about her and say her name. We have also introduced certain Spanish songs and the children love them. It’s so fun to see them embrace what they are learning and hear them talk about Spanish. 

Next month our book of the month will be “We’re going on a leaf hunt” and some special subjects will be fall/harvest and pumpkin lifecycle.

I want to say thank you to all of you for signing your child up to this Spanish immersion class. We have been having so much fun, and I see them absorbing lots of new vocabulary. I cannot wait to see their progress! 

Summer 2025

Summer has come to an end, and what an eventful season it was! We enjoyed countless water play days, and the kids were huge fans of the water slides. We were thrilled to have a magician visit us, along with some fascinating reptile friends. The Vista Sheriffs also stopped by to show off their patrol car, which was incredibly exciting for the children. These visits tied in perfectly with our “Community Helpers” theme week.



Our Fridays were extra sweet with popsicles, and the summer was packed with fun crafts, from bracelet making to creative science experiments and lively dance parties. One of our favorite projects was painting with balloons during Solar System Week—it was so much fun exploring different painting tools!

Summer wrapped up with an unforgettable Field Day, complete with a playground overflowing with foam. The kids had a blast diving and playing in the foam—it was a truly memorable way to end the season.

We are beyond excited to start the new school year, especially with our Spanish Immersion class! The children are already eager to use their Spanish, and their enthusiasm for the classroom is so rewarding. Thank you to all the parents for enrolling your children in this program. I am thrilled and proud of all the fun learning experiences we have planned ahead!
