4th Grade: September 27, 2017

In class this week, we did not learn any new vocabulary words.  Instead, we took time to use the words we've been learning to read a short story in small groups and come up with creative endings to the story.

Ask your student:
  • Who was today's "amigo del día"?  (This week's amigo del día was a boy bees because he's allergic to them.)  
  • What was your group's story about?  How did you finish the story?  (Each group had a story about a man who worked in a restaurant.  Their endings were funny, creative, and all in Spanish!)
Vocabulary:
Words in bold are new this week, others are review.
  • está en - he/she is located in
  • pone - he/she puts
  • otro - other/another
  • tiene - he/she has
    • NOTE:  Our 4th grade students had some great questions and we talked a bit about some differences between Spanish and English.  In questions and sentences with a "no" or "not" we say "have" in English, but they still use "tiene" in Spanish.  
      • Example:  Ana does not have a tomato = Ana no tiene un tomate.
      • Example:  Does Francisco have a cat?  = ¿Tiene Francisco un gato?
  • es - he/she it is
  • el hombre - the man
  • trabaja - he/she works
  • le dice - he/she says to him/her
  • se llama - he/she is called (named)
  • hay - there is/there are
Homework:
Please email me if you need your Quia username and/or password.
  • Quia Vocabulary/Language practice:  
    • Since we didn't learn any new vocabulary this week, our assignments will focus on our (HC)2 memory verse in Spanish.  I'll also link the practice activities under Bible Memory so that you can continue to practice throughout the semester.
      • Quizlet:  Online flashcards to practice the key vocabulary
      • Quia:  Battleship style "fill in the blanks" practice
      • Quia:  Put the phrases in order
      • Quia:  Put the phases in order to reveal a secret photo
      • Quia Assignment (worth 2 stickers!  All based on the Bible verse)
  • Bible Memory:  This semester, we'll be memorizing 2 Corinthians 13:11 as an (HC)2 group.  We will practice memorizing this verse in Spanish.
    • Previous Assignments:  Did you miss last week's assignment?  If you were absent, you may still complete it for 2 stickers each.  If you weren't absent, but didn't get to the assignment, you may still complete the assignments for one sticker each.
