¡Feliz día de accion de gracias amigos!

Hola Amigos,

In Noviembre we are learning a lot.  In kindergarten we are reading and saying our verbs Gustar/to like into complete sentences.  Some of our new words are el perro/dog, el gato/cat, el coche/car, bicicleta/bike, pelota/ball, pastel/cake, and the use of the new verb Tomar/to take.  This month we will try to put our vocabulary into written format. First graders are learning how to use YO/I and Tú/you and understanding how to say he and she in Spanish. él and ella are both he and she.  Second and third graders are speaking in complete sentences and understanding the correct use of the verb Llevar/to bring.  In fourth grade we are continuing to work on our verbs in the singular and plural form.  We have been working on the verb GUSTAR/to like.  Gracias amigos and hasta pronto :)

Hola amigos

We are learning tons and enjoying learning Spanish. Ask your child about our good bye song and how we can tell the year/2015 in Spanish.  Hoy es....

We are also discussing a few celebrations that are celebrated in Mexico. Mr. Boland will be creating a cool project with the 4th graders, while we discuss the meaning behind The Day of the Dead and what it looks like in Mexico.    The students enjoyed listening to the story in Spanish.  

In the rest of the classes we are still practicing our old vocabulary and adding new words to our everyday Spanish language. 

Hasta pronto Amigos :)

¡Hola amigos!

Hola Amigos,

En el mes de enero/January we are learning tons!  In kindergarten we are reading and saying our verbs comer(to eat) into complete sentences. In both kindergarten and first grade we are forming sentences using comer, mirar(to see) and jugar(to play), ir(to go), querer(to want) and tener(to have).  We have done well with putting our vocabulary into complete sentences.  Some examples of the vocabulary we use in kindergarten and first grade are la televisión, el pastel grande, la casa, la escuela, mis amigos. We are writing in our Spanish workbooks and enjoying every minute of it. In second grade, we are also continuing to plug our vocabulary words into sentence format using some verbs like comer/to eat, comprar/to buy, jugar/to play, beber/to drink and ir/to go.  Third graders are gaining an understanding of the verb necesitar/to need and when to use por la tarde/la noche y por el día.  In fourth grade we continue to work on using all of our verbs in the singular and plural format with minimal help.  All classes are 30 minutes long this year and we meet twice a week...making our learning a fun educational experience.  Please practice practice your Español :) Feel free to log into Tumblebooks and listen to the stories in the full complete Spanish version for that extra comprehension practice.

Adiós,
Señora M
