4th, 5th, 6th Grade: November 11, 2015

This week, we learned all about two more "amigos del día." (Friend of the day).  We practiced learning our Bible memory verse (Psalm 100) in Spanish.  We also learned some new vocabulary words for our Bible story unit.  We almost have all of the vocabulary words we need, to talk about Mary and Martha in Spanish.

Ask your student:
  • Who were the "amig@s del día" in Spanish class today?  What is one thing you learned about each of them?  (This week, we had two amigos del día.  One girl who enjoys painting, and a boy who likes Legos.)
  • What does it mean when Señora Brouwer types something with the @ sign?  (It could be a "o" or an "a."  It's a abbreviation that native Spanish speakers use.  Instead of saying amigo (friend who's a boy) and amiga (friend who's a girl) they write "amig@" to be both.)
  • What do "the man," "the shoulder," and "hunger" all have in common?  (They all sound similar in Spanish!  The man = el hombre; the shoulder = el hombro; the hunger = el hambre...try saying it 3 times!)
This week's vocabulary:
  • Amigo del Día
    • Each week, we'll learn more about our classmates!  On the blog, I'll only list the words we learned in class that week.  However, I'm keeping a list of all of our Amigo del Día vocabulary.  Click HERE to view the entire list.
