After presenting their wonderful Flamenco Drawings to the class, the students enjoyed singing the Señor Huesos (Mr. Bones) song and doing a coloring activity in preparation for the Fall Festival celebrations. Thereafter, I read “A Gift for Abuelita” to them, which is the touching story of the loving relationship between a little Mexican girl and her grandmother. In the story Rosita braids a beautiful bracelet to be presented to her grandmother on the Day of the Dead, which is a traditional children's holiday in Mexico. The students then wrote a paragraph about the story, and returned to writing more sentences with the rooms of the house vocabulary.
I’m now helping the children to learn words that describe a table's place-setting. They’ve been doing this by practicing the commands: "Pon" (Place/Put) and "Quita" (Remove/Take away)combined with the new vocabulary. The students have been asking each other to place and remove the objects using real plastic utensils, napkins and plates. I've enjoyed listening to each of my students as I've evaluated their understanding and pronunciation during their activity.
SELF EVALUATION:
These are the words which I’d like to see your child practicing at home for their self evaluation this week (Mrs. Hensler’s class: Wednesday, 11/18, Mr. Wolfrath's class: Thursday, 11/19, Mrs. LaDuke's class: Friday, 11/20.):
Pon (Place/Put)
Quita (Remove/Take away)
El tenedor – the fork
El cuchillo – the knife
La cuchara – the spoon
La servilleta – the napkin
El vaso – the glass
El plato – the plate
