4th/5th/6th Grade: April 27, 2016

Today in class, we finished talking about Joan Miró.  Students got to draw their own Miró inspired masterpieces and describe them (in Spanish!) to a classmate.  Based on the Spanish description, the classmate had to try to draw a replica of the drawing without having seen it.

Ask your student:

• Who were the amigos del día in class today?  What did you learn about them?  (Today, we had two amigos del día:  a girl who has several pets and a boy who likes Harry Potter books.)
• What did your Miró inspired drawing look like?  What was it supposed to be?           

This week's vocabulary:

• el garabato - the scribble
• una línea - a line
• horizontal - horizontal
• vertical - vertical 
• diagonal - diagonal
• un punto - a dot
• un cuadrado - a square
• un rectángulo - a rectangle
