2nd and 3rd Grade: October 9, 2019

PET PHOTO REQUEST:  Parents of 2nd and 3rd Grade students, as part of our Mascotas (Pets) unit, I would like to create a slide show with pictures of the students' pets!  We started talking about the slide show in class this week.  There were so many great pictures that we weren't able to finish.  If you'd still like to send a picture, please send it to me this week.  (ambrouwer@hollandchristian.org)

Today in Spanish class, we continued talking about our pets in Spanish!

Ask your student:
  • What did you learn about your classmates and their pets?  Do more classmates have cats or dogs?  (We used the posters we created last week to fill in a bar graph.  Students brought these graphs home.  We also began talking about our pet slide show!)

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.
