Week of September 12th.

K-4  We had so much fun learning Spanish today.  Using one of our puppets, students expressed likes and dislikes concerning foods.  We also learned several terms of endearment in Spanish.  I can conduct most of the class in Spanish since the children understand our routine in class.  This is going to be a very productive year!

K-5  Students made leaf rubbings.  All of the instructions were given in Spanish and a model leaf rubbing was available.  After the students completed the project and produced their product, they described their leaves in Spanish to the class.

Grade 1  Grade 1 also made leaf rubbings.  The activity was very successful!  Students described their leaf rubbings in Spanish for their classmates.

Grade 2  Students received a new dialogue about weekend activities.   We recited the  conversation several times in class. There are new vocabulary  words in the dialogue. All students took the copy of the dialogue home to practice.  Our second graders are doing very well in developing literacy skills in Spanish.  New students do NOT have to practice the dialogue.  I will work with them next week.

Grade 3  Students practiced a new dialogue in class and worked with a partner reciting it.  Students took the copy home to practice. I would like the students to recite the lines at home to develop fluency.

Grade 4  We did not meet due to a presentation at the library, however;  students saw me when they were having lunch and asked what the homework was,  I told them that since we had not met, there was no homework, but since they were so interested, I brought a copy of the dialogue to their classroom for them to take home.  They were so happy!  I am so proud of our fourth graders. So, there homework is to practice the new dialogue and present it (reading their lines) next week.

Grade 5 students continued with their presentations about South American countries and cultures.  They received a copy of a new dialogue.  They will need to practice the dialogue as homework.  Note:  NEW STUDENTS do not have to study the dialogue.  I will work with them next week.  Please call me if you have any questions about what is expected of your child. 601-428-1704.

Grade 6  I collected the student's books which was a homework assignment.  Students received a dialogue to practice at home.  Students who did not complete the first homework assignment, the autobiography, must turn their work in before the next marking period.  Note:  Students will NOT be given extra time to complete future assignments.  Several students did not submit their second homework assignment and will be graded accordingly for the missing work.

Have a wonderful weekend!
