Dear Parents,
          Sixth grade will take a test on numbers in Spanish from thirty-nine to one hundred.  They need to know how to write these numbers. Since we studied the numbers from one to thirty last year, they really only need to learn:  cuarenta, cincuenta, sesenta, setenta, ochenta, noventa, cien.  40,  50, 60, 70, 80, 90  and 100.  The other numbers are combinations of these words with the numbers: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve.  EX:  41- cuarenta y uno.  57- cincuenta y siete.  95-noventa y cinco.   Y means "and."  So, the homework is to study those seven words, which is not a lot for our amazing sixth graders.   I know they can do it!
