Kindergarten: April 10, 2019

This week, we talked about signs of spring in Spanish!  We also sang some new songs that had fun actions to go along with them.  Check out the links below.

Ask your student:

• Who were the "estrellitas" today?  (Everyone has had a second turn!  Since we don't have enough weeks for everyone to have an individual third turn, we'll have two stars every week.)
• What did you talk about as signs of spring?  (In Michigan, we look forward to the robins returning.  In Spain, they look forward to the golondrinas -- swallows-- returning.) 

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

• el pájaro - the bird
• vuela - it flies
• hace frío - it's cold
• hace calor - it's hot
• la primavera - the spring
• el petirrojo - the robin
• la golondrina - the swallow

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!

• Alrededor 
• Un paso a la derecha
• Chocolate jumping game
• 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.
