<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Champagne & Limousines'; font-size: large;">I have felt my parties have been a little cray, cray in the past so this year I wanted to have a little bit more control over what my firsties would be doing durin' party time. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Champagne & Limousines'; font-size: large;">I have never done stations because I felt that was way to much work for an hour long party.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Pineapple Delight'; font-size: 20pt;">First Week Of Summer School</span></b><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Pineapple Delight'; font-size: 20pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">YAY! We
made it through our first week of summer school… only 12 more days to
go!!!! I can do this! I just
wanted to share a quick post about what we’ve been doing through out our 4day
week. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">I feel very </span><span style="color: #ff0080; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">LUCKY</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"> to be apart of our
“Bilingual Program” being a Dual Teacher and all! Last year our district added
two ESL teachers to their Bilingual Summer School Program to model after our
current Dual Language Program. I was hired last summer and just loved it! I get
to work with my future Spanish students and start building a relationship with
them…how cool is that! </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">It’s a little different in that we only have our Spanish
kiddos but they still get instruction in English one day and Spanish the next
day. It’s a great program and it prepares them for the coming year. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">My partner, Mrs. Zamora had her group make the same craftivities but in Spanish of course!</span><br />
