Dear Fifth and Sixth Grade Parents:
                           Homework for fifth and sixth graders is to label parts of the body, at least twenty, using the figure of an animal, human, funny cartoon character, or a picture from a magazine.  The figure can be drawn or painted on a poster or on a plain 8 and one-half by 11 piece of paper.  The object is to review the parts of the body in Spanish.  I did a quick check on this vocabulary skill last week and students were not sure of basic vocabulary introduced last year.  Some of the parts should include: la cara- face, los ojos-eyes, la boca-mouth, las orejas-ears, la cabeza, head, el cuello-neck, la pierna-leg, los pies-feet, el codo-elbow, el pelo-hair, el estomago-stomach, los brazos-arms, los dedos-fingers, los dientes-teeth.
I hope some students make a poster so I can use their work as a visual for other classes.
