3rd Grade: September 30, 2015

This week, we continued interviewing our classmates in Spanish about their pets!  After that, we learned a few action words to talk about what our pets do.

**On Wednesday, October 14, students will be able to bring a picture of their pet(s) to class.  Students can bring in an actual photograph, a drawing, or you can email me a digital picture that I will add to a slide show (ambrouwer@hollandchristian.org).  Students will introduce their pet to the class in Spanish.  If you don't have a pet, your student can choose to draw/find/email me a picture of their dream pet, a friend/family member's pet, or talk about a favorite animal instead.

Ask your student:

• What was Señora Brouwer's joke that she told the class?  (What did one fish say to the other fish?  NADA!!  In Spanish, "nada" means he/she swims, but it also means "nothing.")

This week's vocabulary:

• Review
• tengo - I have
• tienes - you have
• tiene - he/she has

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.
