4th/5th/6th Grade: January 13, 2016

Over the next few weeks, we'll be learning and reviewing a lot of high frequency vocabulary words through silly stories.  As part of this unit, we'll also be learning the Spanish question words.

Ask your student:

• Who was the "amigo del día" in Spanish class today?  What is one thing you learned about him?  (Second semester is here and everyone will have a second turn to be "amigo del día."  This week, our "amigo del día" was a boy who has a trampoline in his backyard.)  
• What was the silly story about in Spanish?  Could you understand most of it?  (It was about a boy with a long name who works and Meijer and says "hola" to everyone.)

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.
