Parents don't miss out on this fun opportunity to learn Spanish with your preschooler!  Through music, movement, storytelling, drama and art you and your child/ren can learn Spanish in a fun, low stress environment.  During each class teacher, parents and children will sing songs in Spanish followed by hands-on activities that put context to the new vocabulary from the song lyrics.


 


Students will receive great take-home materials.  The theme for this session will beLife on the farm.  On the first day of class children will receive a tote bawith a music CD of the songs that we will sing in class, a bilingual music activity booklet and a storybook (with CD) to listen to at home during the week, and a plush farm animal toy to play with.  Parents are encouraged to play the music and sing the songs though out the week with their child to reinforce what is learned in class.  The activity booklet contains all of the lyrics in both Spanish and English, as well as pictures to color and other fun activities that go along with each song.  By listening to the CD between classes, students will get maximum language reinforcement as well as be prepared for the next class.  The class is a great opportunity to brush up on your high school Spanish as well as sing, laugh and learn side-by-side with your child.

It would be nice if the comments section had "Thumbs up / Thumbs down" like the PressRead More Democrat.

Check with the San Rafael planning commission and get the low-down on why they turned down aRead More developer who submitted his plans to demolish and rebuild a mixed commercial/residential building at 2nd and B. That's directly across the street from SVDP, and a notorious loitering spot. It's currently a run-down box building that's long past its prime. The developer came in with a beautiful plan, and it was denied for, among other things, because it was not in keeping with the "Victorian era" of the others, and because the city was afraid people would store their bikes on the balconies. Take a look at it. It's the most run-down corner in the downtown area. A great way for a small town to thrive and achieve an identity, is to get people living there. The city makes it extremely difficult with their rigid design board, and archaic operations that remind me of private industry in the 70s. Oh, and then they approved Target - completely disregarding the data from our neighbors up north, as well as other small towns.

Tim, I am aware of many who want to increase the housing density downtown. I am also aware thereRead More has been objections particularly around the bus and future SMART station. It seems having commercial use at street level and housing above is favored by the city. It would definitely help bring people downtown. Other elements besides safety, includes maintenance, on going activities and marketing. I made reference to Healdsburg which is a good case study. They endorsed a study by urban planners around 1990. It took until 2000 when Hotel Healdsburg opened and then the downtown took off. They have one big asset and that is their city park which is where they have ongoing activities. Public Spaces such as this offer a sense of place and acts as a magnet. If you go two or three block away from the park, Healdsburg is just another sleepy little town of 11,000. Sure the wine country is a tourist attraction, but according to the County Visitor's Bureau Marin has 12 million visitors a year who enjoy our natural environment and 80% leave and go elsewhere in the evening.

Thank you all for your interest in this topic. Scott, are you aware of any new multifamily or mixedRead More use housing in downtown on the horizon? Someone in another article mentioned the need for greater density in the downtown area. It seems like greater density could make San Rafael a more attractive place to bring business. Maybe it's me being optimistic, but certain areas seem ripe for development which could be a catalyst for improving downtown. Just curious if others had any perspective of this issue.
