5th and 6th Grade: September 24, 2014

Today in class we continued our unit "Las Islas."  This week we talked about different things and places and different things to do on the islands.

**NOTE** Next week, we will be sampling (very small portions) two different Dominican foods in class.  I will link the recipes I'll be using.  If your student has any allergies or food sensitivities, please let me know ahead of time.

  • Mangú Recipe (Traditional mashed plantain breakfast)
  • Morir Soñando Recipe (Traditional orange juice and milk drink.  Several students mentioned that they don't drink dairy milk, so I'll make two versions: one following the recipe listed, the other version replacing the milk and sugar with canned coconut milk.)


Ask your student:

  • What is a favorite sport on Mackinac Island?  How about the DR?  (Golf is popular on Mackinac Island, baseball is a favorite in the DR.)

Today's vocabulary:
  • los carros - the cars
  • fuertes - forts
  • bicicletas - bicycles 
  • la escuela - the school 
  • dólares - dollars
  • pesos - pesos 
  • el hotel - the hotel 
  • golf - golf
  • béisbol - baseball
  • bucean - they snorkel 
  • hablan - they speak
  • usan - they use

Homework:
  • Listen and sing along with our song:  Digno de Alabar.
  • Practice our vocabulary with THESE Quia flashcards.
  • Practice our new vocabulary words with THIS Quia game.  (Battleship style game!)
  • Complete THIS Quia assignment.  (Worth 2 pegatinas) 
  • Begin practicing our Bible Memory Verse:  Galatians 5:22
    • En cambio, el fruto del Espíritu es amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, amabilidad, bondad, fidelidad, humilidad, y dominio propio.  Gálatas 5:22 (cinco, versículo veintidos)
    • Audio Version
    • Earn 4 stickers by saying the verse to me on or before Wednesday, October 29.
