Week of October 23

Grades K-3 and 4 are learning several new songs.  The songs are designed to help children acquire new vocabulary.  Please ask your child to sing the songs for you.  They know, "Calabaza" quite well.  The children have learned songs for family members, days of the week, numbers,  animals .and weather.  I read a story in Spanish to the class.

K-5  Children are also learning new songs to acquire targeted vocabulary.  We talked about their costumes in Spanish. I read a story in Spanish to the class.

Grade 1 We reviewed our nature vocabulary and Spanish expressions.

Grade 2  Grade 2 took their Spanish expressions test.  Everyone was engaged so I am hoping for excellent results.  This group of children is so studious!  They love taking tests.

Grade 3  Students worked with their vocabulary   flashcards. I would like them to study their flashcards in order to master new vocabulary.

Grade 4  Students worked on an activity sheet to learn the use of the two forms of "you" in Spanish.  I would like them to study the sheet, which  we corrected in class,  and try to create sentences in Spanish with each of the eighteen items on the list.  They did an awesome job with this activity.

Grade 5  Students worked on an activity sheet to learn the use of informal and formal pronouns to express the two forms of 'you" in Spanish.  Each student gave examples orally in class.  We will compose a dialogue next week using the activity sheet.

Grade 6  Students read their dialogues and completed a sheet to learn how to correctly use the two forms of "you" in Spanish.  Several students composed dialogues which reflect a very advanced knowledge of Spanish grammar.  I am proud of all of the students.

See you at Eaglefest!
