5TH Graders -  Try the following with your homework

Next week we will turn our attention to possessive form of nouns in Spanish.  You may have some fun with your homework sentences by showing to whom the classroom object belongs . You do NOT have to change your sentences if they are already completed.  Just try to add one or more sentences-- You decide how much practice you want to do--to your list. 

Here are examples:   La mochila de Miss Linda es verde.  (Miss Linda's backpack is green).
                                    Las tijeras de mi hermana son negras.  ( My sister's scissors are black).

Just add "de" after the object and before the person to whom it belongs to show ownership.

The literal translation would be:  The backpack of Miss Linda is green.  The scissors of my sister  are black.  Notice that scissors is plural so the color word, adjective, needs an "s."

Have fun using your family members' names if you like. EX:  El papel de Elizabeth es rosado.
                                        La mochila de mi abuelo es blanca con azul. 

We will talk more about this on Monday.  Gracias,
                                                                    Srta. Linda  
* If your homework is done and you really do not want to try the above, that is fine.  I understand.  I would love to see a few attempts at using the possessive  form. It is so easy in Spanish.  Really!
