3rd Grade: March 16, 2016

Today in class we continued vocabulary to describe people.  After learning a few new words, we became detectives and tried to catch "criminals" based on clues given in Spanish!
Ask your student:

• Do you know someone with a "barba" or "bigote"? (No one in our class has a barba or bigote!!  See the vocabulary list below.)
• If a witness told you:  "El criminal tiene ojos verdes y un bigote." Who would be the criminal? (Hint:  tiene=he has; ojos verdes=green eyes; un bigote=a mustache.)
