4th Grade: March 6, 2019

Today in class, students asked yes and no questions (in Spanish!) to solve a mystery!  Next week, we'll use their clues and drawings for a whole class activity.

Ask your student:
  • Do you remember the person you drew?  What features did he/she have? 
Vocabulary
Words in bold are new this week, others are review.
  • las pecas - the freckles
  • las gafas - the glasses  (note:  some countries use the word "anteojos")
  • el pelo - the hair
  • el cabello - the hair (used in some Spanish speaking countries.  In class, we'll use "el pelo.")
  • el pelo rubio - blonde hair
  • el pelo castaño - brown hair
  • el pelo negro - black hair
  • el pelo rojo - red hair
  • el pelo canoso - gray hair 
  • calvo - bald
  • tiene-he/she has
  • tengo - I have
  • tienes - you have
  • ojos azules - blue eyes
  • ojos verdes - green eyes
  • ojos grises - gray eyes
  • ojos castaños - brown eyes

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:
  • Bible Memory:  
    This semester, our (HC)2 group will be memorizing Psalm 23 in English.  In 2nd-6th grade, we will also be memorizing the passage in Spanish.  Everyone will memorize the first verse, but I'll post an audio version of the entire Psalm for students who want a challenge in Spanish!
  • 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.
