Ask your student:
- What do you remember about Alberto's story? (He was a cow who had a problem. He didn't want to be a cow. He wanted to be a dragon. He made a lot of origami dragons and signed his name "El Dragón." A silly story, but it's one we can tell using only Spanish and it focuses on the Super Seven verbs.)

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!

- A few notes about homework
- In 4th 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!
