I will be available for extra help on Wednesday mornings instead of Tuesdays.
Wednesdays from 8;15 to 8;35. Please ask your child to let me know the day before if he/she will be coming.
Please have your son/daughter study his vocabulary every night for a 5 minutes.
They will have a vocabulary sheet with them, grades 4-8

I also suggest if the children have access to a tablet or borrow your phone, the 
following Apps are free, they are much fun and educational!!:

Duolingo
Spanish School Bus
Spanish First Words with Phonics
Kids Academy Talented and Gifted FlashApps
for the very young: Let's Learn Spanish

EN LA CLASE:

PreK 3- Children are being introduce to Spanish through songs and visuals
PreK 4- Children are learning: greetings, colors and numbers. They are also singing and learning some dances.

Kindergarten- Children are reveiwing the numbers and colors also greetings and adding some more vocabulary, things of the classroom as well as Thanksgiving words plus songs and dances. 

First grade- Learned a new song about Christ. Reviewing from last year and adding some new vocabulary, songs and dances. We are now learning words about The Community and learning a new song; La Escuela
We will be learning vocabulary about Thanksgiving, and songs

in sentences. We just finished our bingo cards La Loteria, will be playing a few games to re-enforce the vocabulary. Children will be doing an activity in" Doy Gracias a Dios por:"

Fourth grade-Students have been reviewing what they learned last year in addition to the weather and the date. Quiz this week on that. Will be doing activity "Dar Gracias"

How to order some food plus: cuanto cuesta? (prices of items) Plus activity on El Dia de Gracias.

Sixth grade to eight have been enjoying Musica Miercoles y Baile Viernes!!!...and I have a great time watching and dancing with them. I think it is an important part of learning a language to be exposed to what the youth in Spanish speaking countries are listening to and dancing to. 

Sixth grade-. We are done with the review unit. New chapter in process.

Seventh grade- 
We are continuing in Chapter, re-enforcing the present tense of verbs er-ir. When to use me gusta, me gustan. Me encanta, me encantan.


Eight grade- 
The actual chapter we are in is re-enforcing the uses of Ser and Estar and making sentences plural.

SEVENTH AND EIGHT GRADE NEWS:
TRIMESTER EXAM FOR BOTH GRADES WILL BE ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30 during Spanish period. I will be giving study guides this week.
We had a brief meeting about the Spanish National Exam. A letter will be going to the student's parents Monday.
