1st Grade: February 12, 2020

Today in Spanish class, we read a Valentine's themed book.

Ask your student:
  • Who was the estrellita in class today?  (Each week, students will take turns being the estrellita - star - in Spanish class.  They get to sit in a special chair and be a special helper in the class. ) 
  • What was the story about in Spanish class?  (Animals were giving each other gifts for Valentine's day.)  
Vocabulary:
Words in bold are new this week, others are review
  • los conejos - the rabbits
  • los ratones - the mice
  • los osos - the bears
  • los cerdos - the pigs
  • los gatos - the cats
  • los pingüinos - the penguins
  • el chocolate - the chocolate
  • el chocolate caliente - the hot chocolate
  • la carta - the letter
  • el globo - the balloon
  • la rosa - the rose
  • el regalo - the present
  • le - to him/to her
  • da - he/she gives
  • Feliz Día del Amor y la Amistad - Happy Day of Love and Friendship (what Valentine's Day is called in many Spanish speaking countries)
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!

Bible Verse
This semester, our (HC)2 group will be memorizing a passage from Jeremiah 17.  In Spanish class, we will also be memorizing verse 7 in Spanish.  
  • Bendito quien que confía en el Señor.  Jeremías 17:7
  • Audio Version (Coming next week) 
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. 

  • Watch this video (featuring Pedro!) to practice weather vocabulary words.  Each week, we'll work on a Spanish weather report. 
  • Me llamo, Me llamo (Song to practice ¿Cómo te llamas? What's your name?)
    • Note for YouTube Links:  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.
