Students in the monolingual PK-4 classes enjoyed nice cool weather and a wonderful field trip experience together! Students took a walk on the wild side as they explored the zoo, learned new facts, fed animals, rode the carousel, ate lunch picnic-style, observed animals eating and interacting in their habitats, and enjoyed an experiential learning opportunity! 
Classes pictured are Mrs. Esparza, Ms. Ortiz, and Mrs. Olguin’s students.
Kindergarteners enjoyed a visit from San Antonio Firefighters yesterday on “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” Day! Mrs. Fuentes, Mrs. J. Ramos, and Mrs. Castaño’s classes are pictured as they enjoyed being read to and learning about their careers as firefighters!
Seleste Balderas, a PK-4 student in Mrs. Esparza’s class, is part of an Escaramuza team called, “Las Tejanitas”. Escaramuza is a female horse rider. According to her mom, girls ages 3-7 begin in the “Escaramuza de caballito de Palo” or female rider of a stick horse. They train to ride side-saddle when they get older. Seleste’s team rides their stick horses in choreographed synchronized moves to music. Las Tejanitas had the opportunity to perform at the SA Stock Show & Rodeo this weekend. According to mom, “Escaramuza charra is the only female sport in the Mexican rodeos (charrería).”
