Week of October 18

K-4  The children are learning Spanish so quickly!  I asked individual children to be the teacher as we wrapped up our study of foods and utensils used to eat different foods.  It was amazing how well they were able to conduct the lesson, ask the questions, and give praise to one another--all in Spanish!  I appreciate your support for your child's study of a second language.  It makes a difference in a child's progress. 

K-5  K- 5 students also continued their study of expressing likes and dislikes in Spanish.  They also played the teacher and asked questions in Spanish. They took to the lesson like the proverbial duck to water!  Their confidence level is very high!  Thank you for your support of our foreign language program. 

Grade 1  First graders reviewed vocabulary associated with speaking about the months of the year, calendar information, and applying previously learned vocabulary  to new situations.  We used their homework as as visual to help them talk about foods and utensils.  I hope they are using some of the new vocabulary at the dinner table!  I want to thank Miss Connie for making sure the assignment was completed on time.    I kept the students' work in class, but please ask your child to name utensils in Spanish for you.  They also know the names of many foods. 

Grade 2  Second grade students have a new dialogue about football!  They colored an activity sheet with the Saints logo, the fleur de lis.  They paired up with a partner to recite a short dialogue about a school football team.  I allowed them to take their dialogue home to practice.  

Grade 3  Third grade also received the new football dialogue.  Students practiced in class with a partner.  I encourage students to practice the dialogue at home.  

Grade 4 did not meet due to a program in the gym. 

Grade 5  Students recited a new football dialogue in class.  They need to practice all of our dialogues at home.  It is very important that students keep all handouts and study them.  We do not have a textbook, so the handouts are essential to our study of Spanish.  Each dialogue emphasizes a new grammatical concept, verb tense, and theme-based vocabulary.

Grade 6  Students worked in groups reciting the football dialogue.  I checked their understanding of questions based on last week's autobiography composition.  I am so pleased with out sixth graders' progress in Spanish. For homework, students need to create a comic strip using their own dialogue or a dialogue copied from one of our handouts.  This is due on the 26th of October, our next class meeting. 

                                       Have s wonderful weekend.
