1st Grade: September 11, 2019

Today in Spanish class, we continued our first unit.  Over the next few weeks, we'll be reviewing colors and learning body parts with some interesting "amigos imaginarios" (imaginary friends).  

Ask your student:
  • Who was the estrellita in class today?  What does that mean?  (Each week, students will take turns being the estrellita - star - in Spanish class.  They get to sit in a special chair and be a special helper in the class.) 
  • What game did you play at the end of Spanish class today?  (There was a picture of 5 silly creatures on the screen.  Señora Brouwer described one of the silly creatures in Spanish, and students had to tap the right one with a fly swatter.)
Vocabulary:
Words in bold are new this week, others are review
  • amarillo - yellow
  • verde - green
  • azul - blue
  • rosado - pink
  • la critura - the creature
    • amigo imaginario - imaginary friend
  • el superhéroe - the superhero

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! 

Bible Verse
This semester, our (HC)2 group will be memorizing a passage from Philippians 4.  In Spanish class, we will also be memorizing verse 4 in Spanish.
  • Alégrense siempre en el Señor.  Insisto: alégrense.  Filipenses 4:4
  • 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.

  • Watch this video (featuring Pedro!) to practice weather vocabulary words.  Each week, we'll work on a Spanish weather report. 
  • Me llamo, Me llamo (Song to practice ¿Cómo te llamas? What's your name?)
    • 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.
