2nd Grade: September 23, 2015

This week, we learned all about the sense of touch and different textures.  We played a guessing game to review the texture vocabulary words.  We also practiced the Bible Memory verse, and we took a few minutes at the end of class to review the numbers 1-30.

Ask your student:

• What was the game you played in Spanish class?  Do you remember what object you touched?  (Play at home!  Señora Brouwer had a special "mystery box," but you can use a paper bag.  Put an object inside and describe it in Spanish.  Is it suave (smooth) or áspero (bumpy)?  Is it blando (soft and squishy) or duro (hard)?)
• When you played the number game at the end of class, do you remember what Señora Brouwer's favorite number was?  Why is it her favorite number?  (14 is her favorite number because the number 14 is in her birthdate, her son's birthdate, and her daughter's birthdate!)
