                  Bible Verse:
                  This semester, our (HC)2 group will be memorizing a passage from Matthew 25.  In 2nd and 3rd grade, we will also be memorizing part of Matthew 25:40 in Spanish.

                  • Audio version 
                  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.
                  • NUMBER Practice:   During the second semester, we practice numbers 1-100.  Use thes games below to practice and review at home.
                  • Previous Assignment (great review during this whole unit):  play this short game to practice the word "hay."  CLICK HERE  
                    • A few notes about Quia...
                      • If the game is not loading for you, it may be because you don't have the most up to date version of Adobe Flash.  If you get a message that the game can not load, you can click on "HTML Version."  The graphics aren't as fancy, but the content is the same.
                      • Our older (4th-6th Grade) students each have a unique Quia username and password...one of your older siblings/children may have that.  However, for 2nd and 3rd grade, students do NOT need to log in to play Quia games.  Just follow the link and begin the game.
