5th and 6th Grade: February 7, 2018

This week, we continued working with the book Eduardo la piñata.  In small groups, we prepared to retell the story next week.  (Each group will have props, stick puppets, and scenery.  They will retell the story, in Spanish, to at least one other group.)


Ask your student:
  • What props and puppets did you make for retelling the story?

Grammar Concept
Me gusta vs Me gustan
  • In Spanish you use "Me gusta" (I like) when what you like is either an action or a singular noun.
    • Examples:
    • Me gusta cantar.  = I like to sing.  (sing = action)
    • Me gusta la casa.  = I like the house.  (the house = singular)
    • Me gusta limpiar la casa.  = I like to clean the house.  (I like "to clean" = action)
    • Me gustar leer los libros.  = I like to read the books.  (I like "to read" = action...even though books is plural, the action comes first.)
  • In Spanish you use "Me gustan" (I like) when what you like is plural.
    • Examples:
    • Me gustan las piñatas. = I like the piñatas.  (piñatas = plural)
    • Me gustan los zapatos.  = I like the shoes.  (shoes = plural)
    • Me gustan los zorros.   = I like the foxes.  (foxes = plural)
