I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend!  I can't believe it's going to be December this week.  The quarter is ending way too fast.  :)  This week's updates are below.

Week of November 7-11, 2016

Good morning!  Here are the updates for this week.

3rd Grade:  We have been working on our community vocabulary and different sounds in the Spanish language.  They were given ten minutes in class to complete Workbook pages 22 and 23, and they should have 22-24 completed for Thursday.  In class on Thursday, we will go over and practice clothing items with colors.  They will have time to complete WB page 25 in class, but if they do not, please make sure it's completed by Monday.

4th Grade:  We had to change some things around because I had to give them their classroom spelling bee quizzes on Thursday.  We completed that, and then I gave them their project instructions.  I told them it was due on Friday, instead of Tuesday, forgetting that we do not have school on Friday.  Please make sure they complete it by Tuesday, 11/15.  I will not be at school that day, as my sister is getting married up in Utah, but it will be collected.

5th Grade:  We finished up talking about rooms and activities around the house, and today we learned about La Alhambra, in Granada, Spain.  We watched a video about the different rooms, patios, and architecture.  They should have WB page 23C and all of WB p 24 completed by Tuesday, 11/15.

I will be out of town for my sister's wedding on Tuesday, 11/15.  The fourth and fifth graders will have an independent assignment to work on during Spanish class.  We will pick back up with the curriculum on Friday.  My absence will not affect the third graders at all.

Thank you, have a great week, and as always, let me know if you have any questions!

Week of October 31-November 4, 2016

3rd grade:

On Monday, we learned about Day of the Dead, and the students were able to work on coloring a sugar skull and other Day of the Dead pictures.  We will be starting our new vocabulary on Thursday by learning about different locations around our communities and the people that work in them.  The new quizlet can be found here.  Workbook pages 22-24 should be completed by next Thursday.  We will work on them in class, but if they aren't completed in class, they should be completed during Lyceum or for homework.

4th grade:

I was ill on Friday afternoon, so the students were given some information and activities about Paraguay, which is the country we are learning about right now.  Today, we will be learning about the Day of the Dead.  On Friday, we will dedicate that class period to working on the Town Design project.  It will be due next Tuesday, when we will begin our new vocabulary, which is clothing and colors.  I will put up the new quizlet once we start.

5th grade:

Today we learned about the Day of the Dead.  The students were able to work on their clothing store project while watching a video.  The project is due this Friday.  It was assigned last Friday, so hopefully they have been working on it.  On Friday, we will begin our new vocabulary by learning about activities we do in each room of our home.  For example, we prepare food in the kitchen (preparar la comida en la cocina.)  We will also learn about the sounds "que" and "qui," and discuss La Alhambra, which is a famous location in Granada, Spain.  The new quizlet can be found here.  Workbook pages 22-23 will be due next Tuesday, November 8.
