FOURTH GR UPDATE: 5/14/2010

Story Wrtiting (TPR Story-Telling):
The fourth graders have resumed writing their stories based on the situational drawings from earlier in the year (the boy with the mice). It's rewarding for me to observe the students as they look up words, help eachother out, and make corrections to their earlier drafts; adding both adjectives and location words to their stories. ¡Muy bien cuarto grado!/Well done Fourth Grade!

New Song (Lingo-Tech):
The students have been enjoying making up the dance moves to a new song by Mr. Uwe Kind. The song's called "Tengo dolores"/"I Have These Pains" and is about a patient's visit to the doctor. In the song they learn to name some new areas of the body and say where they are hurting.

I've borrowed some stethoscopes from the school nurse, and the students have enjoyed using these as they demonstrate the different areas of the body mentioned in the song.

¡Qué divertido!/How fun!
