¡Hola!
The students have taken home a study-sheet with a list of many of the "places" vocabulary words on it. This is for them to study from. I'd also like to remind the students once more that the complete list of vocabulary for the evaluation is on this blog and that the question that will be asked on the evaluation is:
¿En qué edificio vives? In what building do you live?
Answer Examples: Vivo en el rascacielos./Vivo en el cine./Vivo en el museo.
The answer should contain "Vivo en/I live in" followed by the name of the place you choose to pretend you live in.
Again - ¡Buena suerte! Good luck!

THIRD & FOURTH GRADES UPDATE: 1/21/2010
THIRD GRADE UPDATE AND QUIZ INFO:
The students have been learning the Spanish names for their classes and have been introduced to many new verbs in the "I" form. They've written these words in their notebooks and will be practicing asking and answering about what they do in their classes. THERE WILL BE A MATCHING QUIZ ON ALL OF THE VERBS ON THEIR SECOND MEETING DAY WITH ME NEXT WEEK. HENSLER: WED. 1/27, WOLFRATH: TH. 1/28, LADUKE: FRI. 1/29

Corro-I run
Camino-I walk
Escribo-I write

Salto-I jump
Bailo-I dance
Old Verbs:
Juego-I play
Hablo-I talk
Como-I eat
FOURTH GRADE UPDATE AND QUIZ INFO:
The fourth graders have finished their Three King's Day translation and writing activity. In this activity they used bilingual dictionaries to find the meanings of topics they were asked to discuss. After deciding on their answers, they again used the dictionaries to write down their ideas. The goal was for them to write material and non-material gifts that they wished for themselves and others in the new year. The students are now playing a game of classroom "T-Ball" in which they are asked and answer questions about where they live. (Their answers can be a little silly, since not everyone lives at the movies or in the library!) THERE WILL BE A MATCHING QUIZ ON THESE WORDS NEXT WEEK. THEY'LL ALSO BE ASKED TO WRITE THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION: ¿EN QUé EDIFICIO VIVES?(IN WHAT BUILDING DO YOU LIVE?)
HUGHES-WED, 1/27, TUCKER-TH. 1/28, LEMON & LEE-FRIDAY 1/29.
Places Vocabulary:
Los apartamentos-the apartments
El museo-the museum
La biblioteca-the library
El restaurante-the restaurant
El hospital-the hospital
El estadio-the stadium
El centro comercial- the mall
¡Hasta luego! Sra. Starr

The fouth grade has also discussed "Three King's Day," and have pretended to be a child from Puerto Rico by symbolically filling a shoe box with grass for the King's camels, and waiting until the next moring to find three gifts from theM. Our class gifts have been three wonderful books which the students have explored and presented to the class.
The fourth graders are currently working on a translation activity where they look up four Spanish sentences which represent the Three King's gifts they themselves would ask for, for themselves, friends, classmates, parents and the world. After figuring out the sentence meanings, they've discussed what gifts they would choose, and are now writing their answers in Spanish.
IMPORTANT DEADLINE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 19TH., SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION SHEETS ARE DUE. THESE TELL ME WHETHER OR NOT YOUR CHILD HAS READ THE INTRODUCTION TO THEIR STORY TO YOU. THANK YOU FOR GETTING THESE IN TO ME BY THE DUE DATE.

THANK YOU:
"Gracias a todos por sus bellos regalos y cariñosos sentimientos!"(Thanks to all of you for your beautiful gifts and affectionate wishes!)These were all so appreciated.
The gift cards went towards a new home printer and I have a special place in my heart(and tummy!) for all the candies, cookies, doughnuts, books, decorations and hand-made gifts the children gave me.
A GIFT FROM SPAIN:
A special thank you also goes out to Señorita Eva San Hipolito Bermejo and her fifth grade English class in Madrid, Spain. She and her students have sent our children a holiday card and a wonderful book of skits for our Spanish classroom. They've also been inspired by our blog to create a blog of their own. ¡Felicitaciones!(Congratulations!)
