MAY AND JUNE 2012
THIRD GRADE: We truly enjoyed learning many new vocabulary in Spanish during this year. Basically, most of the lessons were an introduction of the text book they will be using in 4th grade. During May & June, we are finishing with vocabulary on the people in our school and places in our school. Parents are encouraged to continue to review this vocabulary with the children during the summer. Thank you for your support.
FOURTH GRADE: We completed the textbook, "Hola". At the present time,
the children are working at completing the 50/50 project (50 questions and 50 answers). This project will prepare them for their last test. Also, the children are making pinatas. Pinatas are very popular in 4th grade. The pinatas can be made with a partner or individually. The Pinatas are due on the day of our Fiesta.
FIFTH GRADE: We completed the textbook, "Que tal". The children worked very hard and are ready for Spanish 6th. All fifth graders received a test review packet for their last test on June 8th. Our Fiesta will be on June 11th.
SIXTH GRADE: The children worked very hard in sixth grade. Our book, "Adelante", was great. We learned about Spanish-speaking countries, the cities/town, asking for directions around the city, going to a bank and restaurant, names of different places around the city, buying gifts, different occupations, money in Hispanic countries, and many important verbs. Our final will be June 11th. Our Fiesta will be on June 13th....
