FOURTH GRADE UPDATE 9/23

The students have been learning about the Definite Articles el, la, los, and las and when these are used. They've also learned that certain nouns that describe occupations, some animals, and family members, change their endings to masculine(-o) or feminine(-a). Not all the nouns(person, place, or thing) do this, and there are always exceptions to the rule! To learn about the endings, the fourth graders have completed two written assignments, and had a lot of fun competing in the "Palabras Locas" game. In the game, they match el, la, los, and las as quickly as they can to earn a point against another team.
UPCOMING QUIZ: The students will be quizzed on the definite articles next week. I'll have the days posted for you as soon as I hear from their classroom teachers.
NOW: The kids have started learning about the prepositions of location, and will be writing sentences using the magnetic Symtalk cards.
