Today in Spanish class, we started off talking about the calendar and weather.  Then, we continued our new unit:  La Mariposa Monarca (The Monarch Butterfly).  Today we focused on talking about the caterpillar and chrysalis stages:  la oruga, y la crisálida.

Ask your student:

• What color is Monarch caterpillar?  (Es amarillo, blanco, y negro. - It's yellow, white, and black.)
• Do you remember what a Monarch caterpillar does after she sheds her skin?  (She eats the skin - Come la piel.)

Today's vocabulary:

• la oruga - the caterpillar
• la crisálida - the chrysalis
• se quita - he/she takes off or sheds
• es - he/she is (physical characteristics)
• tiene - he/she has
• primero - first
• segundo - second
• tercero - third

Homework:

• Listen to our new song: "Si yo fuera mariposa."  (If I Were a Butterfly)
• Practice our Bible memory verse:  Psalm 24:1
• To review calendar/weather vocabulary at home, you can sing along with these songs...
• Weather, seasons, and months
