Today in class, we continued learning all about Costa Rica!  Today we talked about the weather and typical clothes.

Ask your student:

• Do you remember when kids in Costa Rica have a long vacation?  (Most schools in Costa Rica take vacation from Christmas through February.)
• Do you remember what a chonete is?  (It's a typical hat in Costa Rica.  It has a brim to keep the sun off of your face and neck.)

Today's vocabulary:

• el invierno - the winter
• el verano - the summer
• hace calor - it's hot
• llueve - it rains
• la ropa - the clothes
• el chonete - a typical hat from Costa Rica

Homework:

• Sing along with our new song:  Tengo paz como un río
• This week, we talked about seasons and weather in Costa Rica.  Listen to THIS SONG a few times to practice some of those words.
