The RAINBOW Connection
Spanish classes are competing in a coloring contest. The contest goes along with what we are studying- el arco iris (the rainbow). Besides the rainbow coloring contest, I also traced each student’s hand and had the students decorate them. I will be putting them together into a bulletin board RAINBOWthat you will be able to see at conferences. All the students did a really good job and we have been having fun with the colors of the rainbow.
SHA Christmas Program
Our annual music program is coming up on December 10th. I am excited to say that the program this year will be celebrating the tradition called Las Posadas. Las Posadas is a reenactment story of Joseph and Mary’s pilgrimage to find a place to stay in Bethlehem before the birth of Jesus. This production will be a collaboration of the music and the Spanish programs here at Sacred Heart. If you would like to learn more about Las Posadas before the program, click on one of the links following this paragraph. Each contains information about this traditional nine day Christian Latin American celebration during the Christmas holiday season. Press and hold control and then left click to connect to the link.
About Mrs. Lowery
Hi! My name is Lisa Lowery and I am a new addition to the Sacred Heart Elementary team. I have been given the pleasure of teaching Spanish and computers. I graduated from Aquinas College with a Spanish major and a Health, Physical Education and Recreation minor. Prior to Sacred Heart, I taught bilingual middle school for three years in Grand Rapids Public Schools. I also did my student teaching here at Sacred Heart and had a great experience. My husband, John Lowery, teaches computers and business at the high school level here at Sacred Heart.
I am really looking forward to being with your students this year to help them explore both the Spanish language and culture, and to explore the technology they will have available for their use. Both of the classes I teach will be in the recently added classrooms! It will be a very fun year for all of us!
