2nd and 3rd Grade: September 5, 2018

Today in Spanish class, we continued talking about the word "hay," but we began learning more new words.  Next week, we'll use those new words to read a story together in class.  We continued learning our beginning of class routine (days of the week, months, weather vocabulary), and reviewed the numbers 1-10. 

Ask your student:

• What pretend food did you eat in class?  (We all pretended to eat "sopa" - soup.  Sometimes it was "caliente" - hot, sometimes it was "fría"-cold).

Vocabulary:
Words in bold are new this week, others are review

• el plato - the plate
• la sopa - the soup
• caliente - hot
• fría - cold
• prueba - he/she tries
• da un paseo - he/she takes a walk
• viven - they live
• los osos - the bears
• el papá - the dad
• la mamá - the mom
• el bebé - the baby 
• hay - there is/there are
• estrella - star 
• grande - big
• mediano/mediana - medium
• pequeño/pequeña - small
• ¿Cuántos? - How many?
• ¿Cuántos hay? - How many are there?

Song of the Week
Each week, we'll listen to and sing along with a fun song in Spanish.  It's a fun way to get us all up and moving while learning more!  If possible, I'll post a link to the song here so you can listen at home as well!

• Bebé Tiburón (Baby Shark). 
• Note for YouTube Link:  I cannot control/predict the advertisements that YouTube will play before a song.  Please be aware of this and watch videos with your child so that you can monitor ads.

Homework:
Occasionally, I will post links to videos, songs, or other resources for you to watch with your child over the week.  This is not required homework, but it is an opportunity to provide exposure to Spanish during the week.

• New vocabulary game coming soon!  (Link will be working by Thursday morning)
• Some weeks, we will use the website, Quia, for practice activities.  This week, play this short game to practice the word "hay."  CLICK HERE  
• A few notes about Quia...
• If the game is not loading for you, it may be because you don't have the most up to date version of Adobe Flash.  If you get a message that the game can not load, you can click on "HTML Version."  The graphics aren't as fancy, but the content is the same.
• Our older (4th-6th Grade) students each have a unique Quia username and password...one of your older siblings/children may have that.  However, for 2nd and 3rd grade, students do NOT need to log in to play Quia games.  Just follow the link and begin the game.
