Introductions

Talofa lava matua!
In class today, the children focused on introductions. Each child learned how to greet each other and state their names in Samoan. We went over the Samoan alphabet and numbers of  1-10. Our vocab today was:
Talofa - Hello
Tofa - Good bye
Tulou - excuse me
Faia'oga - Teacher
Fa'afetai - Thank You and Fa'amolemole - Please.
Our sentence for the day was:
O lo'u igoa o ___________.
(My name is __________.)

We learned a new song today, and the kids loved it! - It is called 'Le Aute ' see below. Please sing along with your child(ren).
 My assignment for the children this week is that when they get dropped off at school, to say "tofa" and when they get picked up from school, to say " talofa ". So, parents, please prompt your children to speak in Samoan this week by using Talofa and Tofa when dropping off and picking up children from school or other events ;)

We will be learning about family ties next lesson, so please have child come with a family picture next Saturday.







This is our song for the month :)
