Kindergarten: September 19, 2018

Today in Spanish class, we continued learning colors with our short story, Olivia y los Pájaros.

Ask your student:

• Who was the "estrellita" today?  (Each week, one student will be the estrellita=star in class.  That student will be my helper for the class and he/she gets to sit in a special chair.  Everyone will get a chance to be the estrellita!)
• How many birds did you put in a tree?  (We used the "pájaros" that students colored last week for a listening activity in class!).

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

• el árbol - the tree
• ve - he/she sees

• rojo - red

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!

• Basho and Friends:  Los Colores
• Los Colores (Just the first half of the song)
• ¿Quién es el rey de la selva?  (Who's the King of the Jungle?)

Bible Verse:
This semester, our (HC)2 group will be memorizing a passage from Matthew 25.  In Kindergarten, we will also be memorizing part of Matthew 25:40 in Spanish.

• Cada vez que ustedes hicieron algo por mis hermanos más humildes, también lo hicieron por mí.  Mateo 25:40 (veinticinco versículo cuarenta).
• Audio version coming soon!

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.

• Me llamo, Me llamo (Song to practice ¿Cómo te llamas? What's your name?)
• Los Colores (Bilingual song to practice the colors in Spanish)
• Note for YouTube Links:  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.
