3rd Grade: September 23, 2015

We started Spanish class this week by reviewing the pet words we've learned so far.  We learned a few more pet words in Spanish.  Then, we practiced speaking Spanish by interviewing our classmates in Spanish about their pets!  We'll finish the interviews to start class next week.

Ask your student:

• How many classmates did you interview in class?  Do you remember if they have any pets?  (Most students were able to interview 2-3 classmates.)  

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
• el pez - the fish
• la culebra - the snake
• el conejo - the rabbit
• New
• la tortuga - the turtle
• el hámster - the hamster
• el pájaro - the bird

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.  
• VOCABULARY PRACTICE (This is not an "assignment," but it is a way for students to practice the vocabulary before attempting the assignment.)
• CLICK HERE for this week's Quia Assignment (Worth 2 pegatinas!)
• If you were unable to complete previous assignments, you may always complete them later and still earn a sticker! 
• September 16 Quia Assignment
• September 9 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!
• 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)
