Queridos padres,
We are in December and a week away from the Winter break. What we have accomplished after the Thanksgiving holiday is:
- Learning about the origins of the holiday, where it is celebrated, how Mexicans living in the U.S. may celebrate it.
- Lesson dedicated to “foods”. The children practiced the structures: “¿Te gusta el tomate? (Do you like the tomato? - Sí. Me gusta. (Yes. I do)/ Me encanta. (I love it)/ No. No me gusta. Prefiero la manzana. (No. I don't. I prefer apples)”
- I read the book Ketchup on your cereal? (Nick Sharratt) in Spanish to reinforce the vocabulary and sentence structures.
- We played the game of charades to continue practicing vocabulary and sentence structures.
- 5th and 6th graders (some 4th) also learned and practiced the Spanish definite article and the number and gender of Spanish nouns in sentences (we'll add gender and number in adjectives after the break). My goal with this lesson is to provide opportunities for children to learn how to form simple, grammatically correct sentences and understand simple written material.
Happy Holidays,
Señora Pepi (3rd - 6th grade teacher)
