This week we reviewed body parts and started working on possession phrases in Spanish. This can be a difficult skill to get used to because the 'apostrophe -s' construction that we use in English to demonstrate possession does not exist in Spanish. Instead, the phrases are set up to communicate who something belongs to. For example: the expression "Anna's hair" in English, is el pelo de Anna (the hair of Anna) in Spanish.
We practiced putting these phrases together by identifying specific body parts of well-known characters (Olaf's nose, SpongeBob's eyes, Goofy's feet, etc). To practice at home, have your child identify body parts of different characters and/or people in Spanish. For example; while looking at a picture your child could say body parts for you to find, such as el pelo de Moana or las manos de Mickey. You could also do the same with pictures of family members or even actual people! Here are some words to help you practice: el pelo = hair las orejas = ears los ojos = eyes la boca = mouth la nariz = nose los brazos = arms las manos = hands las piernas = legs los pies = feet

This week we finished our story about the missing zapatos!
We met a total of three friends along the way who had some very interesting (and humorous) characteristics. Have your child tell you what the sentences below mean and which characters they matched in the story: Sus pies son grandes. Su nariz es grande. Sus manos son pequeños. Luckily the story had a happy ending and there was quite an entertaining surprise for our classmate at the end. Be sure to ask your child to tell you about it! This week we started a new story. The main character is a student in class who lives in Spain, is kind, and has really big feet! She is very excited to celebrate Three Kings Day tomorrow, because it means presents from the 3 Kings. However, as she gets ready the night before she realizes that there is one very important thing missing. Oh, the drama! Be sure to have your child fill you in on what's happening!
