2nd and 3rd Grade: October 23, 2019

We continued talking about pets this week and read a story about a girl who was trying to decide which pet she should get.


Ask your student:
  • What happened with the cat and the fish in the Spanish story?  (The cat wanted to eat the fish.  When he jumped into the fish tank, the fish bit him on the ear!)
  • What were the most surprising pets in the story you read in Spanish class last week? (One of Maria's cousins had a pet bat!  Another cousin had pet bears...we think that part was just a joke.)

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 
  • Mi Mascota, Mi Amigo (My Pet, My Friend)
    • YouTube Link 

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.
