3rd and 4th Grade: November 12, 2014

Today in class we began a new unit:  Las Islas.  In this 4 week unit, we'll be learning all about the Dominican Republic and contrasting it with what we know about Mackinac Island.  Today, we started by learning some key vocabulary words and doing a listening activity.

Ask your student:

• What does "Hay un lago grande y dos islas pequeñas" mean?  What would you draw on this picture?  
  
  (This was similar to the listening activity we did in class.  Students would listen to a description and draw what I described.  In this case, they would draw a large lake and two small islands.)
• 
  

Today's vocabulary:

• hay - there is/there are
• está en - he/she/it is located in
• es - he/she/it is
• tiene - he/she/it has
• la isla - the island
• el país - the country
• el mar - the sea
• el lago - the lake
