4/5/6: October 2, 2013

Today, we finished up our unit about Chile and we celebrated with a ramada.  We watched a short video of traditional cueca dancers and we played a mini version of the game rayuela.

Ask your student:

• What is a ramada?  (It's an independence day party.  People eat empanadas, play traditional games, and dance the traditional dance of Chile:  la cueca.)
• How do you play rayuela?  (You try to throw a stone as close as you can to a line drawn on the ground, or over a target filled with mud.  In class we played a mini version with nickles)

Today's vocabulary:

• la ramada - Chilean independence day party
• la cueca - the traditional dance of Chile
• rayuela - a traditional Chilean game.  
• comen - they eat
• bailan - they dance
• juegan - they play

Homework:

• Sing along with our song:  Eres digno de alabar (Worthy of Praise)
• Review weather and seasons by listening to this song.
• Our final unit assignment was handed out in class.  If you misplaced it, you can print off another copy HERE.
