4/5/6: September 25, 2013

Today, we spent some time talking about Chile's flag and their national food (empanadas).  We played a short matching game in Spanish to review everything we have learned so far.  Finally, we practiced reading in Spanish!  We read some short paragraphs in Spanish to review what we've talked about so far.

Ask your student:

• What is Chile's flag like?  (See if they can answer in Spanish!  Hay tres colores:  rojo, azul, y blanco.  Tiene una estrella.  It has three colors:  red, blue, and white.  It has a star.)
• What is Chile's national food?  (It is the empanada.  It's like a "Hot Pocket."  It is meat or cheese wrapped up in bread.)

Today's vocabulary:

• la bandera - the flag
• la estrella - the star
• la empanada - the empanada (like a Hot Pocket)
• la carne - the meat
• el queso - the cheese
• el pan - the bread
• dentro de - inside of
