K-4  Students reviewed all basic questions and answers.  They can answer about fifteen questions in complete sentences.  The children also respond well to tag questions on a variety of subjects.  The classes sang all of their songs including two new songs, including one naming family members. 

K-5  The children reviewed greetings, weather terms, numbers, days of the week, months of the year and basic questions about themselves.  We will be discussing likes and dislikes in Spanish next week. 

Grade 1  Students completed their books about cold weather. The book is entitled Rosa tiene frio.  I gave the books to the classroom teachers to distribute to each child.  Please ask your child to share the book with you.  

Grade 2  Students made a bilingual book about winter.  They finished the books in one class period.  I am very proud of them.   Each child took their book home with them.  Please ask your child to present their book to you. 

Grade 3  Children have a homework assignment which is due on February 1, our next class. 
They will use their posters or computer-generated assignment from last week to write complete sentences about themselves.  The homework last week was to write adjectives in Spanish which describe themselves--inteligente, generoso, respetuoso, etc.  They copy the adjectives from their poster or laptop and insert them in the model sentence:  Yo soy inteligente, respetuoso, y generoso.  Yo soy timido, activo y amable. etc.  They should write at least five sentences using three adjectives in each sentence.  They do NOT need to make a poster of their sentences.  the sentences should be written on notebook paper or in their Spanish notebooks.  

Grade 4  Students presented their personality projects.  They also have a homework assignment which is to record in Spanish the meals they eat for one week.  All students  copied a model sentence and the names of the days of the week.  EX:   El lunes, me comi pan con cereal, una ensalada, carne con papa, y pastel de fresa. 

El martes, me comi yogur, huevos, fruta, sopa de pollo, pescado frito y papas.
