3rd and 4th Grade: November 26, 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
  • bicicletas - bicycles 
  • la escuela - the school 
  • dólares - dollars
  • pesos - pesos 
  • el hotel - the hotel 
  • golf - golf
  • béisbol - baseball
  • hablan - they speak
  • usan - they use

Homework:
  • Practice our vocabulary with THESE Quia flashcards.
  • Practice our new vocabulary words with THIS Quia game.  (Battleship style game!)
  • New Bible Verse:  Psalm 56:3
    • Cuando siento miedo, pongo en ti mi confianza.  Salmo 56 versículo 3.
    • Audio Version (Coming soon)
    • By memorizing this verse and saying it to me on or before December 17, you will earn 4 stickers!
