Dear Parents of 5th and 6th graders,
                                We worked on new vocabulary this week.  Students were given a quiz (oral) on their understanding of the lsit I distributed to them last week.  Students need to reviw those words for next week.
Our new homework assignment is a short dialogue students need to present this Friday, September 19th.  They are working with a partner to learn their lines.  I prefer that the students present the dialogue without reading it if possible.  As I mentioned, the dialogue is very short.  We will be working on creating our own short dialogues to present in the future.
Students are grasping the concept of verb conjugations in the present tense.  I have introduced some verbs in the past tense, but I want to concentrate on the present indicative tense for a few more weeks.  We will cover the past tense this semester! 
I will be at Open House next week.  We are preparing a table with student authored books.  Please stop by and take a look at books students in Grades 1,2, 3, and 4 have written. 
                                                      Thank you for your interest in our foreign language program.
                                                                       Miss Linda
