4th Grade: November 14, 2018

Today in class, talked a little bit about needs and wants.  In Spanish, the word "he/she needs" is "necesita" which sounds a lot like "necessity" in English.  We talked about things that we are thankful for and learned how to name those in Spanish.

After Thanksgiving, we'll begin a short Christmas unit, and we'll jump back in with the Market Day vocabulary after Christmas.

Ask your student:
  • What are some things you're thankful for? (We shared ideas as a class and learned a lot of new words in Spanish!  They had some great ideas, and we learned that there isn't an easy way to translate "laser tag" in Spanish!)

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 T-Rex (Baby T-Rex)
  • El Bugi de la Selva (The Jungle Boogie) ~ Just for fun!
  • 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.
