3rd Grade: September 16, 2015

In Spanish this week, we continued to learn pet vocabulary!  Through this unit, we will be practicing various forms of the verb "to have," and we will be learning the names for pets/animals in Spanish.  Based on what the students have told me, some of you have some very interesting pets!  In class, we also completed a short reading activity/logic puzzle where we matched descriptions to pictures.

Ask your student:

• Do you we have any "culebras" around our house?  (The word "culebra" means snake.  While most of you don't have snakes as pets, a lot of students told me you have snakes around your homes.)  

This week's vocabulary:

• Review
• tengo - I have
• tienes - you have
• tiene - he/she has
• la mascota - the pet
• el perro - the dog
• el gato - the cat
• New
• el pez - the fish
• la culebra - the snake
• el conejo - the rabbit

Homework:

• Quia Assignment!  When we have a Quia assignment, students will be able to earn two stickers for completing it.  (At the end of the year, stickers can be traded in for prizes!)  To complete the Quia assignment, your student will need his or her Quia username and password.  Quia sent out an email with this information, but if you didn't receive the email or can't find it, please email me and I can get you that information right away.

• If you were unable to complete last week's assignment, you may always complete it later and still earn a sticker!  
• LAST WEEK'S Quia Assignment!
• A note about assignments:  These are for students to practice.  Most questions Quia is able to grade automatically and give instant feedback.  Students may retry questions or the entire assignment as often as they want.  If a student is "stuck" with vocabulary, the vocabulary list above is a great resource.
• Bible Memory Verse!
• This year, all of the (HC)2 Students will be memorizing Psalm 100 during the first semester.  We will also be memorizing part of it in Spanish class!  This week, we started by learning just the first two verses in Spanish.  
• Canten al Señor con alegría, toda la tierra.  Con alegría adoren al Señor; ¡con gritos de alegría vengan a su presencia!  Salmos 100:1-2 (cien, versículo uno y dos)
