4th/5th/6th Grade: October 7, 2015

This week, we learned all about a new "amigo del día." (Friend of the day).  We practiced learning our Bible memory verse (Psalm 100) in Spanish.  This week, we added verse three.  Students reviewed the words we've been learning by writing a few sentences in Spanish. Finally, we learned some new vocabulary for our "Haz la maleta" (Pack your suitcase) unit.

Ask your student:

• Who was the "amigo del día" in Spanish class today?  What is one thing you learned about her?  (This week, our "amigo del día" was a girl and we learned that she enjoys art.)

This week's vocabulary:
