We practiced again, this time in teams. Thanks to the practice, the game was faster, words came out easily, and by the end, some families were reunited, for the fun of our students.

So, if practice could be carried on at home, all the better !

After reviewing our new words about family members, the class played our card game so that they could use new sentences :
Yo quiero ...
Yo tengo ... b
and it took us the whole time to enjoy discovering the game.

Next week will be more fun  !

Writing is one thing, speaking is another.
So in prevision for a game we'll play next week, we reviewed some words that the whole will use in sentences when playing that card game.
Because it involves family members, we learned them and using them at home will help your child to memorize those basic words:
el hijo / la hija, el padre/la madre, el abuelo/la abuela,
the trick being to grasp the concept of masculine/feminine.

We'll put that in practice next week !

I gathered the kids around an image to help them develop what we saw last week. This time, we were looking at a little town with many characters in it.
It was the opportunity to introduce some verbs in order to create sentences like:
Yo veo tres globos negros en la ciudad.

It might be time for you to help your child develop that base with some basic Spanish books that you can find in our Public Library downtown.

The objective of this part of the year is to have our students be able to build their own little sentences. The first step is the acquisition of vocabulary, and we used our classroom environment to start with. Then we tried to tell where things were around us.
So we ended the hour with sentences like:
La television esta entre el pizarron blanco y la ventana,
which will be our first block for longer sentences.
