2nd Grade: November 18, 2015

Today in class, we continued learning all about Peru.  All in Spanish, we went looking for condors ("Goin' on a Bear Hunt" style).  We also continued reviewing numbers 30-49.

Ask your student:
  • In Spanish class you had to use your imagination to go searching for something.  What was it?  (We went to Peru to search for a condor.  When we found one, we ran away.) 
This week's vocabulary:

Homework:
  • Some students wanted a copy of our Condor Hunt chant.  Here's the link (with an English translation, too!)
  • Bible Memory Verse! 
    • Canten al Señor con alegría, toda la tierra.  
    • Con alegría adoren al Señor; ¡con gritos de alegría vengan a su presencia!  
    • Reconozcan que Señor es Dios; él nos hizo y somos suyos;  ¡somos pueblo suyo y ovejas de su prado!  
    • Entren por sus puertas con acción de gracias; vengan a sus atrios con himnos de alabanza. ¡Denle gracias, bendigan su nombre!
    • Salmos 100:1-4 (cien, versículos uno a cuatro)
    • Audio version 
    • Listen to the Seasons Song.  This song is about the seasons in Michigan.  How would the song be different if we were singing it in Peru?  (Hmmm...my Spanish Songs Blog seems to be having technical difficulties.  Here's a LINK to the song on YouTube.)
