Ask your student:
- Next week, you'll read a story in Spanish class. Do you have any guesses about the main characters or setting? (Based on the words we learned today, students might guess that the story will be about a monkey and a pirate...somewhere on an island or a boat!)
Words in bold are new this week, others are review
- la isla - the island
- una isla - an island
- el pirata - the pirate
- un pirate - a pirate
- el mono - the monkey
- un mono - a monkey
- el barco - the boat
- un barco - a boat
- (no) le gusta - he/she (doesn't) like
- no hay - there is not
- el plátano - the banana
- las papas fritas - the french fries
- ¿cómo estás? - how are you?
- Estoy triste - I'm sad
- Estoy enfermo/enferma - I'm sick
- Estoy contento/contenta - I'm happy
- Estoy enojado/enojada - I'm angry
- Estoy cansado/cansada - I'm tired

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:
Please email me if you need your Quia username and/or password.
A note about homework: - Quia Vocabulary/Language practice:
- Vocabulary Review (The vocabulary review does not earn stickers. However, it gives you extra practice with the vocabulary words so that you are able to complete the assignment listed next.)
- Assignment (worth 2 stickers)
- 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 August 29
- Flash Card Style
- Battleship Game Style
- Assignment (worth 2 stickers)
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.
- 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!
