3rd and 4th Grade: February 11, 2015

Today in class, we started a new unit.  We'll be talking about a Mexican tradition, but before we can learn about it, we had to learn how to say "-ing" verbs in Spanish.

Ask your student:

• What is the difference between these 2 Spanish verbs:  "habla" and "está hablando"? (Habla means s/he talks.  Está hablando means s/he IS talkING.) 

This week's vocabulary

• We focused on some "-ing" verbs
• está comiendo - he/she is eating
• está llorando - he/she is crying
• está saltando - he/she is jumping 
• está caminando - he/she is walking
• está jugando - he/she is playing
• está cantando - he/she is singing 
• está bailando - he/she is dancing
• está descansando - he/she is resting 

Homework:

• Sing along with our song:  Siempre que me muevo
• We watched THIS VIDEO from Sesame Street as an introduction to "ing" verbs in Spanish!
• Practice our verbs with this QUIA PRACTICE
• Complete QUIA ASSIGNMENT (worth 2 stickers)
