For our last YL 3 class of the trimester, we talked about the vernal equinox and how the tilt of the Earth’s axis contributes to the change in seasons here in Madrid. Spain and the U.S. are both located in the Northern Hemisphere; thus, both countries have recently welcomed Spring! To celebrate this season, the Young Learners made paper birds and 3-D flower ornaments.

The Young Learners 1 class has been learning about short vowels this trimester. In week 8, our main focus was practicing reading, writing and saying words that rhyme with ‘big’ and acting out and listening to words that have the short ‘u,’ like the words, ‘hug,’ ‘duck,’ ‘puddle,’ ‘gum,’ ‘rub,’ ‘tummy,’ etc. You can see two students giving each other a hug in the pictures. You can also see the book of rhyming words they made. Super job Young Learners 1!!
