Kindergarten: September 5, 2018

Today in Spanish class, we started our first unit by reading a short story in Spanish!

Ask your student:
  • Who was the "estrellita" today?  What does that mean?  (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!)
  • What does "Hola, hola, caracola" mean? (It means "Hello, hello, snail."  It's sort of like saying "See you later, alligator" in English.  It doesn't make sense, but it's fun to say because it rhymes.)
  • What was your story about in Spanish class?  (It was about a fox named Olivia who sees birds in a tree.  Each bird is a different color.  At the end of the story, there are so many birds in the tree that the branch breaks!)
Vocabulary:
Words in bold are new this week, others are review
  • ve - he/she sees

  • se levanta - he/she stands up
  • se sienta - he/she sits down
  • camina - he/she walks

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!

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?)
    • 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.
