Dear Parents and Grandparents,
Tomorrow the K-4 and K-5 classes will continue learning how to respond to basic questions in Spanish.  The students can already tell their age, name, how they feel, what day it is and name parts of the body.  The children also listen to a story every Monday in Spanish and English.  When possible, I like to read only the Spanish text and indicate the meaning of the word by using the picture clues.  We will continue with counting in Spanish to twenty as well.  K-5 is also learning the months of the year and the four seasons.

Grade 1 is going to continue with the months of the year and the four seasons.  I want to teach them a poem about the months of the year and the number of days each month has.


Grade 2 will learn to tell time to the half hour in Spanish.  They will also learn the poem about the months of the year and how many days each month has. 
Treinta dias tiene septiembre, abril, junio, y noviembre
Febrero tiene veintiocho,
Y los demas, treinta y uno.

Grades 3, 4 and 5 will correct their homework activity about telling time in Spanish.  Then, children are gong to learn to associate a time with an activity. Ex. Me levanto a las seis de la manana. Me como mi desayuno a las siete.  Llego a la escuela a las ocho.  I wake up at six in the morning. I eat my breakfast at seven. I arrive at school at eight o'clock.

Grade 5 is also going to receive information about their project, which will be due on December 2.  It is the same project the sixth graders did.  I will provide information to students in class tomorrow.
They do NOT have to work on the project during Thanksgiving week.  They may complete project this week and save it for December 2. 

Grade 6 is going to continue working on describing personality traits of their friends.  Their project for the week will be to make a book about their best friend in Spanish.  This will be similar to their clothing books that they produced last year.  They may use any material, paint, magazine pictures, drawings, crayons,  cloth, yarn, etc.  They will receive complete direction in class tomorrow.  They do NOT have to work on project during Thanksgiving week.  Since we have class on Mondays, they may complete project this week and enjoy their vacation with their families next week.

I wish all of you a very blessed Thanksgiving Day.  Thank you for your interest and support in our Spanish program.
