1st Grade: October 11, 2017

This week, we learned about another animal in Spanish.  Each week, as we learn more vocabulary words, we're able to say more about each of the animals in Spanish!

This week, we played "Pasa Pedro" (Pass Pedro...it's like Hot Potato).  When the music stopped, Señora Brouwer would hold up an animal.  Whoever had Pedro had to say what the animal was in Spanish or say something about it (color, action verb) in Spanish.  We had a lot of fun!

Ask your student:
  • What animals do you that can canta?  (In class, we talked about frogs, birds, and roosters.)
  • What does a rooster say in Spanish?  (Instead of cocka-doodle-doo, they say quiquirriqui!)

      • Watch this video to practice our weather vocabulary words.
      • Watch THIS VIDEO to practice the animal action verbs (there is a new verb in there that we'll learn next week!)
