Weather In the Classroom
haʔɬ sləx̌il,
Hello families and friends, welcome to the new school year. This year we will be in the classroom full on immersion speaking only Lushootseed. We will also be in four classrooms this year rather than two classrooms. I will be teaching along with a co-teacher in the Elk room, Wolf, room, Deer room, and the Cougar room on the preschool side at Betty J. Taylor Early Learning Academy.
This year we will be working on weather terms and days of the week while working on a calendar routine in the classrooms. One of the songs that we have been singing is “ʔəsčal tiʔəʔ sləx̌il,” which translates to “How is the day?” In the context of the song it is being used to ask about the weather using five basic terms – sunny, cloudy. raining, snowing, and windy. The other song that will be taught in the classroom will be our “datilič st̕ilib” which goes through all the days of the week in Lushootseed to the tune of Oh My Darling, Clementine
t̕igʷicid.
Thank you.
September Unit
