4th Grade: December 12, 2018

Today in class, we continued talking about a New Year's Eve tradition in Spain!

Ask your student:
  • Were you able to eat all 12 grapes at the right time? (We watched a video from last year's New Year's Eve broadcast and tried to eat our grapes just like they do in Spain!  If you want to try it as a family, click HERE)
Vocabulary
Words in bold are new this week, others are review.
  • el reloj - the clock

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!
  • Tiburones de Navidad (Christmas Sharks)
  • 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.

Homework:
Please email me if you need your Quia username and/or password.
  • Quia Vocabulary/Language practice:
    • No assignment, Feliz Navidad :)
  • 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.  
  • 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.
