In the Kindergarten Language Immersion program one of our goals is to foster appreciation and respect for diverse languages and cultures. This week we read "Miguel and the Amazing Alebrijes" which teaches students what alebrijes are. Alebrijes are colorful sculptures of fantastical creatures usually made out of papier-mâché with designs including intricate dots, flowers, flames, and geometric shapes in bright colors. After reading the students created their own alebrijes.

Please review the matrix below with your student for the expected behaviors during dismissal.
