4th, 5th, 6th Grade: September 2, 2015

Today in Spanish class, we started off by drawing pictures.  The students filled their papers with drawings and symbols to represent things that are important to them.  Each week, we'll look at one student's poster and learn about him or her...all in Spanish!  After that, we spent a little time talking about cognates and how they can help us understand Spanish.  We were even able to read (and understand!) a few advertisements in Spanish using cognates to help us.

Ask your student:

• What is a cognate? (It's a word that looks and/or sounds the same in both English and Spanish)
• Who was this week's "amigo del día"?  Whose drawing did you look at?  What did you learn about that person?  (This week, we looked at Pedro's poster.  Pedro is Señora Brouwer's stuffed mouse.  He likes to eat cheese.)

This week's vocabulary:

• ¿Qué te gusta hacer? - What do you like to do?
• Me gusta - I like
• comer - to eat
• queso - cheese
• le gusta - he/she likes 

Homework:

• This year, we will be using a website called "Quia" for our homework assignments.  Parents should have received an email with username and password information.  Students, if you were here last year, your username and password is the same as last year.  If you did not receive an email with log in information, please email me and I can get you that information.  (ambrouwer@hollandchristian.org)
