5th and 6th Grade: September 11, 2019

Today in Spanish class, we continued our silly story from last week.

Ask your student:
  • What do you remember about the silly story from Spanish class?  (It was a crazy ending!  There were several other Robo-Monkeys in Australia!  We had a lot of fun practicing Super 7 verbs!)

  • verde - green

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! 
  • 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.
  • El Señor es mi Fortaleza  (Students are learning this song in English with Mrs. Walters!)
    • YouTube Link

Homework:
  • This week's assignment
    • Language Practice:
      • Quizlet Vocabulary Practice (Check out these flashcards!  There are options to hear the words, practice flash card style, and even play a few matching games.  Find an activity that works best for you!)
      • Assignment (worth 2 stickers) 
  • Bible Memory Verse (ongoing, first semester)  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   
  •  A few notes about homework
    • In 5th and 6th grade, there will be a Spanish homework assignment nearly every week.  In general, I will use online activities for our homework assignments.  These assignments will give students one extra opportunity during the week to practice Spanish.  Taking advantage of the extra practice helps language learning to "stick" more. 
  • Online assignments:
    • Students are allowed to practice and "redo" assignments as often as they like.  Practice is how we learn.
    • For each assignment completed, students will earn 2 "sellos o pegatinas" (stamps or stickers).  At the end of the year, they will be able to trade their stamps and stickers for small prizes. 
    • Let me know if you have any questions!
