Kindergarten: February 13, 2019

This week, we reviewed family-related vocabulary with a Valentine themed story.

Ask your student:

• Who was the "estrellita" today?  (We're working our way through second turns.)
• What story did you read in Spanish class today?  Can you show me your book?  (We read a story about a mouse named Julieta who told everyone in her family that she loved them.  The was a silly surprise at the end!)  

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

• te amo - I love you
• la abuela - the grandma

• hay - there is/there are
• el perro - the dog
• el gato - the cat

• la mamá - the mom 
• el hermano - the brother

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!

• El Señor es mi pastor (Students are learning the same song in English with Mrs. Walters!) 
• 25 de diciembre
• La Virgen María tuvo un bebé
• Yo soy un pavo (I Am a Turkey)
• Otoño Llegó  (Fall Arrived)
• 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 Psalm 23 in English.  In Kindergarten, we will also be memorizing the first verse in Spanish.

• El Señor es mi pastor; nada me falta.  Salmos 23:1 (veintitrés, versículo uno).  
• 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. 

• 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.
