January 29th.

K-4 and K-5 students learned the names for family members while learning a song about making tortillitas!  They love to sing and learn new songs.

Grade 1 and Grade 2 learned vocabulary related to St. Valentine's Day.  The activity involved Valentine's Day cards and learning to and from in Spanish as well as six words related to the holiday.

Grades 3 and 4 received rewards for completing their beautiful clothing books.  They need to read each page of their book at home and bring the book to class on Monday. We are going to present our work to Miss Stone.  The class received a sheet with errors that need to be addressed, but they do NOT need to redo their book.  Some children said they wanted to do so!  Awesome!

Grade 5 is working on a Valentine's Day project and learned terms associated to the holiday in Spanish.

Grade 6  continued to study for their oral exam.  They need to answer the questions  at home using the worksheet and the reference sheet I gave them last week.

Thank you for your interest in the Spanish program at SJDS.

Grades 1 and 2 are working on telling time to the hour in Spanish.  You may find your child calling out the time in Spanish this week
Grade 3 has a packet of activities to complete at their own pace. I asked the children to complete at least one activity for next week.
 Grade 4 has a homework assignment using the verb "tener" They need to write twenty-five sentences using the model completed in class: Yo tengo quince lapices. They are saying I have (a number from one to fifty-nine) and a plural noun.
 Grade 5 has no homework. They will continue working on conjugating verbs next week.
 Grade 6 needs to continue practicing their responses for an oral exam in the coming weeks.

All third and fourth graders have an assignment to submit on January 22nd.  They have two weeks to complete the assignment  because of MLK holiday on January 15th. 

The students need to create a book on clothing.  They may use any materials to create the book. It should be at least 12-16 pages.  They may do more---up to 20! 

They should draw or find pictures in magazines or flyers of models wearing different outfits.  Then, they need to describe IN SPANISH the clothing the people are wearing in the drawing or photo.  We have been studying clothing vocabulary for several weeks.  Actually, the lesson was a review of vocabulary and concepts previously learned.  Students have a model sentence to use as an example. 

Fifth graders have two  paragraphs to copy in Spanish.  They are learning to conjugate verbs.  We completed the paragraphs in class.

Sixth graders have a worksheet to complete and study for an oral exam.  I would like to begin the practice  oral exam next month so students have time to practice for the final oral exam in April.


Please call me if you have any questions.
