This week, we acted out "Las Posadas"--the Mexican tradition of remembering Mary and Joseph searching for a place to stay in Bethlehem.

Ask your student:

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

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 
  • El Coquí (The Coquí--a song about how the coquí sings at nighttime.  A lot of people in Puerto Rico consider the coquís their "lullaby.")

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.
