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!
- Mono Bananas (Monkey and Bananas)~based on Bebé Tiburón, but uses some of our new vocabulary. (P.S. In Spanish, both "el plátano" and "la banana" mean "the banana.")
- 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:
Please email me if you need your Quia username and/or password.
A note about homework:
In 4th grade, there will be a Spanish homework assignment
nearly every week. In general, I will use the website Quia for our
homework assignments. These assignments will give students one extra
opportunity during the week to practice Spanish.- Quia Vocabulary/Language practice:
- Bible Memory: This semester, we will be memorizing Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 as an (HC)2 group. We will practice memorizing this verse in Spanish as well.
- Printed Version
- Audio Version (coming soon!)
- Online Games and Practice (coming in October!)
- 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.
- Week of September 5
- Vocabulary review
- (No new vocab this week, same activity as last week)
- Assignment (worth 2 stickers)
- Week of August 29
- Flash Card Style
- Battleship Game Style
- Assignment (worth 2 stickers)
A note about homework:
- You will need your Quia username and password to access the assignments. Each student should have received that information at Meet the Teacher Night or today in class. If you have misplaced the paper, please email me and I can get you that information as soon as possible.
- Students are allowed to practice and "redo" Quia assignments as often as they like. Practice is how we learn.
- For each assignment completed, students will earn 2 "sellos o pegatinas" (stamps or stickers). At the end of the year, they will be able to trade their stamps and stickers for small prizes.
- Let me know if you have any questions!
