FOURTH GRADE UPDATE (4/22)
PIÑATA PARTIES & ADJECTIVES HOMEWORK:
Congratulations to the fourth grade classes who handed in their adjectives homework on time.
It was great showing you the dance moves for the song "El cuerpo Señor."
Did you know that this song was created by world-famous language teacher and pop-star "Etiénne?"
Etiénne is from Canada and teaches kids both Spanish and French. This motivated language teacher travels around the world teaching cool dance moves and songs to kids of all ages and natinalities.
Boy, you kids can really hit a Piñata!
SPEAKING QUIZZES:
The fourth grade did a terrific job answering the questions I assigned to them for their recent speaking quiz.
Our Spanish students' comprehension is excellent and their accents are near-native.
Awesome!
FIRE VOCABULARY:
The students have worked very hard at learning the fire vocabulary. They've done this by writing the words and completing enjoyable word-searches.
Here's the vocabulary they've learned:
el bombero - the fireman
la ambulancia - the ambulance
la boca de incendios - the fire hydrant
el extintor de incendios - the fire extinguisher
la alarma de bomberos - the fire alarm
ayuda - help
auxilio - help
socorro - help
ayudame - help me
fuego - fire
incendio - fire
FIRE EMERGENCY SKITS:
After discussing an imaginary emergency scenario, the fourth graders have been hard at work using their imaginations and acting skills to create Spanish skits to perform in front of the class.
The kids are now practicing their lines and starting to use the props available in the Spanish room. The performances take place in restaurants, parks, and hotel rooms, and include such interesting characters as martians, talking cows, parrots and mariachi entertainers!
TECHNOLOGY ASSIGNMENT:
The students have completed this assignment and have become quite savvy at using our Spanish blog.

THIRD GRADE UPDATE: APRIL 19
After reviewing the clock on the hour and learning the clock on the half hour by playing "Clock Baseball," the third graders learned the enjoyable song: "Una pera y dos bananas (One Pear and Two Bananas)."
I have the kind permission of Mr. Uwe Kind, the author of many catchy Spanish songs, to put his lyrics on our blog. Please ask your child to sing it for you and maybe you'll be singing it soon too!
The students are now learning the names for the extended family by role playing different family members.
Here's a list of the family names:
La familia - The Family
la mamá - the mom
el papá - the dad
la hija - the daughter
el hijo - the son
la abuela - the grandmother
el abuelo - the grandfather
el tío - the uncle
la tía - the aunt
la prima - the cousin (girl)
el primo - the cousin (boy)
Lázaro, the puppet, has again appeared on the scene and is teaching the students how to say the name's of their family members. Here's a couple of examples:
Mi padre se llama Anthony. (My dad's name is Anthony.)
Mis padres se llaman Susan y Anthony. (My parents names are Susan and Anthony.)
The students have been also been having a lot of fun learning the names of Lázaro's many brothers(hermanos) and sisters(hermanas). His brother's names are Timoteo and Tomás, and his sister's names are Teresa, Tatiana, Tomasina, Tania and Tuti!
Hasta luego/See you later,
Sra. Starr
