Grades 5 and 6 shared their homework assignment from last week. Each student who came to class with their homework had the opportunity to read and perfect their pronunciation of Spanish by sharing their original sentences. Twenty sentences were required, but three 5th graders wrote many many more sentences. i am so proud of them.
6th Grade: Sixth graders who came to class with their homework assignment made a bilingual book to share with a younger sibling , or other family member. Students then read the book to the class in order to practice their presentation. Please ask you child to share the book with you. If your child does not have the book, they did not make one. Those students who did not complete homework worked on the missed assignment and also have an additional homework assignment which is due next week. The homework for ONLY those students who did not turn in homework on Wednesday is:
Write five sentences with each of the following subjects and verb forms: Yo tengo, Tu tienes, el or ella tiene, nosotros tenemos, ellos or ellas tienen. This means, I have, you have, he, or she has, we have, they have. ALL STUDENTS IN THE GROUP WHO DID NOT MAKE A BILINGUAL BOOK DURING CLASS WORKED WITH ME ON THIS AND BEGAN THE ASSIGNMENT BEFORE LEAVING CLASS. If you unsure if your child needs to do this missing assignment and the newly assigned homework, please do not hesitate to contact me. Students were given lists of nouns to use in the creation of their sentences. There is NO homework for students who handed in their homework from last week.
5th Grade: Miss Tuckers's class shared their homework. They worked on adding new subjects to the verb, "tener." All students completed their work in class and have no new homework assignment.
Miss Lisa's 5th Grade: Most students finished their work, but several students have a few sentences to complete for next week. They need to write five sentences each with Tu tienes________(a noun in Spanish.) Also: Nosotros tenemos_______(noun in Spanish), and Ellos or Ellas tienen______(noun). Students have picture dictionaires and language vocabulary cards to assist them with the remaining sentences.
Have a great weekend. Thank you for your interest and support in SJDS's Spanish Language Program.

Grade 2 Second grade read the little bilingual books they made last week. Ech child had a chance to read the story. I sent the books home so you can ask your child to share it with you.

K-4 classes played a game to learn to identify classroom objects in Spanish. They loved the game! We reviewed all of our songs and will be learning some carols for Christmas next week. The children also reviewed all basic questions and answers in Spanish.
K-5 K-5 also played the classroom object game and reviewed questions about themselves in Spanish. We will be singing some carols in Spanish next week.
Grade 1 Grade 1 began to learn a new dialogue in Spanish. Several parents asked to have a copy of the dialogue sent home so they can review it with their child. If you would like a copy of the dialogue, please contact me. The dialogue is about two children meeting on the playground and talking about school and leisure time. It is in Spanish with known vocabulary.
Grade 2 Children made a bilingual reading book. I plan to give the children a new story every week. Due to an error on my part in assembling the booklets, they will take the book home next week along with the second book. The book is called, "Que necesito?" "What Do I Need?"
Grade 3 played a game to review classroom objects and the verb "to have." "Tener. They need to write 10 to 20 sentences using the verb, "tener." Ex: Yo tengo el lapiz amarillo. Yo tengo la pluma de various colores. I have the yellow pencil. I have the mulicolored pen. They may use the following vocabulary: lapiz- pencil, pluma- pen, borrador- eraser, tijeras, scissors, pegadura, glue, regla, ruler, liga- rubberband, papel- paper. They may also add adjectives. Yo tengo el lapiz blanco con negro, etc.
Grade 4 Students also played a game to review classroom vocabulary. They need to write 10 to 20 sentences as explained above under "Grade 3." Grade 4, however, may also write sentences in the negative explaining what they "do not" have. EX: Yo no tengo el lapiz verde. Tengo el lapiz rojo.
They may also write sentences using the verb in the third person singular: Beau tiene el papel blanco. I do not have the green pencil. I have the red pencil. Beau has the white paper. All students copied a model sentence from the whiteboard. Here are some sentences to copy: Yo tengo las tijeras negras.
Yo tengo la liga. Yo tengo la pluma azul. Yo tengo la pegadura morada, Yo tengo el borrador rosado. Yo tengo el borrador y el lapiz.
Yo no tengo el lapiz rojo. Yo no tengo el borrador. Juan no tiene la liga. Susana no tiene el lapiz.
I don't have the red pencil. I don't have the eraser. Juan doesn't have the rubberband. Susan doesnt have the pencil.
Have a great week.
