1st Grade: October 18, 2017

This week, we learned about a few more farm animals in Spanish, and made a guessing game.  Next week, we'll make a book of all the farm animals we learned about!

Ask your student:
  • How can you remember the word for "sheep" in Spanish?  (The first part of "oveja" sounds like "obey."  Sheep obey their shepherd.  Their Bible tells us that we are Jesus' sheep and He is our shepherd, so we obey Him.)
