Grade 6 continued presenting their projects on Barcelona.  I am so very pleased with our sixth graders.  Almost all of the students presented their work entirely in Spanish.  Students received a  informational sheet on Cordoba, our next Spanish city.  They may begin working on their presentations, but the project on Cordoba is not due until Oct. 1. The homeowork this week is to compose sentences using the irregular verb, poder.  It means to be able to do.  Students copied the conjugations in the present tense. with the various subjects.  They need to use a verb in the infinitive form to complete their sentences.  For example:  Yo puedo cantar muchas canciones.  I can seing many songs.  Mi hermana puede caminar a la escuela.  My sister can walk to school.  It is important that the students complete this assignment.  I asked them to write at least ten sentences, but encouraged them to write more.  Last week, a student wrote 100 sentences with the verbs tener, estar and ser!  I will look at all of them to make sure they are correct. What can I say? I told students they may write as many as they wish.

Grade 5  Students had completed their presentations, so we devoted the period to the verb, poder.  Fifth graders also have to compose ten sentences using various forms of the verb poder, which means  to be able to do.   The students also took home a copy of the information about Cordoba and may begin working on their project on this beautiful Spanish city which was once the richest city in the world.

                                        Have a great weekend of football!
