1st Grade: October 15, 2014

This week in Spanish class, we continued our new unit all about farm animals.  We'll be learning the names of farm animals in Spanish.  We'll also learn how to say thing that the animals do (all in Spanish of course!)  For more information about our new unit, click here:  Farm Animals.

Ask your student:

• What were the four animals you learned about in class today?  Do you remember how to say their names in Spanish?  (la oveja - the sheep, el gallo - the rooster, la rana - the frog, el cerdo - the pig) 
• How can you remember the word sheep/la oveja?  (The sheep=la oveja...it sounds like "Obey-ha."  Jesus says that we are his sheep and He is our shepherd, so we remember that sheep have to obey their shepherd.)

Today's vocabulary:

• salta - he/she jumps
• come - he/she eats
• canta - he/she sings
• dice - he/she says
• la rana - the frog
• la oveja - the sheep 
• el gallo - the rooster
• el cerdo - the pig

Homework:

• Listen our our song ¿Quién es el rey de la selva? 
• Animal Actions Video with Pedro (Click HERE to watch!)
• Practice our Bible memory verse:  Psalm 24:1
