1st Grade: September 30, 2015

This week, we started class again by talking about the weather.  For two weeks now, it has been beautifully sunny in the morning!  After that, we practiced the Bible memory verse.  We even added the second verse!  We learned about two more farm animals in Spanish, a few more action words, and we finished class by playing a game!

Ask your student:
  • What new animal did you learn about this week?  (This week we learned the phrase "el pez" = the fish and "el pájaro" = the bird)
  • What does a bird say in Spanish?  (They don't say "tweet tweet."  In Spanish, they say "pío, pío.")
  • What game did you play in Spanish class?  (There were two piles of cards.  One had animal words, the other pile had action words.  One student would choose an animal word and then hold up the correct animal.  The other student would choose an action word and act it out.  The class would have to say "sí" or "no."  For example, if we had "la rana" and "vuela"--the frog, and fly, we would say "NO," since frogs don't fly.)
