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.
