2/3 Grade: November 13, 2013

Today in class, we started a new unit:  Feliz Cumpleaños/Happy Birthday.  During this unit, we'll be learning some birthday related vocabulary.  We'll also be learning about the similarities and differences between birthday celebrations in Michigan and Mexico.  For more information about our new unit, click:  Feliz Cumpleaños.

Ask your student:

• If you went to a birthday party in Mexico, how would you greet everyone?  (In Mexico, you greet people with two kisses on the cheeks.  In Michigan, you shake hands, or you give a hug.)

Today's vocabulary:

• el cumple/el cumpleaños - the birthday
• celebra - he/she celebrates
• la fiesta - the party
• dan besos - they give kisses

Homework:

• Sing along with our new song, a traditional birthday song from Spain:  Feliz, feliz en tu día.
• Practice our Bible verse:  Genesis 1:1.  Be ready to say the verse by November 20.  CLICK HERE.
