For Fifth and Sixth Grade: 
 On Friday, Fifth and Sixth grades were given a new homework assignment for next Friday. They need to compose sentences telling what various family members eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  They copied down the model sentences and we did examples of what they are expected to write.  We learned the names for family members last year, but here is a list they can use:   mama- Mom, Papa-dad, hermano- brother,  hermana- sister, abuelo, grandpa, abuela-grandma, primo- cousin, boy,  prima- cousin, girl, tia-aunt, tio-uncle. 

EX: Mi mama come pan y fruta para el desayuno.  Mom eats bread and fruit for breakfast.
        Mi papa come ensalada para el almuerzo.    Dad eats salad for lunch.
         Mi hermano come pollo y papas para la cena.  My brother eats chicken and potatoes for dinner.   Students were given a list of possible foods to use in their sentences.  They may also tell me what friends eat, for example,  Mi amiga Sarah come frambuesas para el desayuno.  Myfriend Sarah eats raspberries for breakfast.  The more practice sentences the students complete, the better, but I require at least ten to receive credit for the assignment. 
 Students who wish, may use other forms of the verbs they learned for "to eat," such as:
Nosotros comemos tomatos para el almuerzo.  We eat tomatoes for lunch. 
Ellos comen coliflor y zanahorias para la cena.  They eat coliflower and carrots for dinner.

ALL STUDENTS RECEIVED A LIST OF FORMS OF THE VERB TO EAT- COMER .
They must keep the hand-outs in their notebook for reference.  They also, as mentioned, received lists of foods in Spanish with their English translation.  I passed out EXTRA sheets of both hand-outs on Friday. 
Please contact me if you need clarification about the assignment.  Just leave a comment on the blog for me to read.
    Have a wonderful holiday.
