This week we have really started working on communicating activities that we do and how often we do them. This requires some verb conjugation in Spanish, which is not a difficult task, but does take some getting used to.
In order to use verbs in Spanish, the endings need to be changed in order to match the subject of the sentence. For example, the word bailar means to dance. However, if I want to say I dance, the word changes to Yo bailo. Like I said, it's not difficult but it usually take a bit of practice before it becomes a habit. I have been really impressed so far with the kids' understanding of this new skill and we have been able to do some fun activities this week! For a little bit of extra practice at home, have your child combine some of the words below to share how often they do certain activities. Don't let them forget to use the -o ending on those verbs! bailar nunca cantar no nadar a veces jugar.... muchas veces mirar.... todos los días correr siempre leer por la mañana pintar por la tarde hablar por la noche comer

This week the students worked on finishing their graphic novel pages to retell the Batman story. The kids did such a great job retelling the story! They were so creative with the sentences they wrote and also with the illustrations - so many of their pages cracked me up!
Once everyone was finished, I was able to take pages from each part of the story that students had created and put them together to retell the entire story. Here are a few examples of their work: This week we have been working on 'dissecting' the Batman story that we heard before break. We talked about how every story we've had in Spanish class has had the same 6 parts:
1) Main Character Introduction 2) Problem 3) Place 1 4) Place 2 5) Place 3 6) Solution Then, we worked together to recreate sentences from the story. Ask your child to share a sentence or two from each part of the story with you! After recreating the story as a class, each student was assigned to a different part of the story and worked to re-create it 'graphic novel style'. The kids are having a great time re-creating the story with both sentences and illustrations. I will post some pictures of our finished products next week! |
