Monday, September 28.

K-4  continued their work identifying classroom objects.
we then began working on clothing. Children were asked to name the picture of clothing they had in their hands.  It was so much fun.  Everyone wanted a card so they could be asked to name what they had.

K-5 also named classroom objects.  I added about six more than the K-4 had to name.  We then began to work on clothing as well.  We reviewed greetings and weather terms.  Please ask you child how to say, It's cold, It's hot, or it's raining.  I would love to receive feedback from you on how they answer.  Students also made two autumn trees for their teachers. The instructions were entirely in Spanish.

Grade 1 named all of their classroom objects from last week so we quickly went right to the clothing unit.  I asked children to please bring five or ten pictures from a magazine or the newspaper insert showing different articles of clothing.  They may also draw the articles and cut them out. We are making a book next week.

Grade 2 identified articles of clothing and had to give a sentences using the verb tener and an article of clothing.  We will be having a mini-fashion show in class next week to practice the new vocabulary.

Grade 3 took their test on the days of the week.  The were assigned a sheet with clothing vocabulary to study for next week's test.

Grade 4  Students were given a funny dialogue to read about a monster. They will continue learning the dialogue next week.  They also reviewed the alphabet in Spanish. Some students have the alphabet memorized.  It is important that the students in fourth grade learn the alphabet since we will be reading and  writing more in Spanish in the months to come.  Students  also received a list of terms listing the continents in Spanish and terms needed to learn about maps and globes in Spanish.  Using interdisciplinary activities in this manner helps the children apply what they learn in Spanish to lessons they receive in their regular classroom.  It also reinforces material and helps children to retain  information.

    Have a great weekend!
