Vocab 1.3 all levels

¡Hola!

We finished the first test and all of the tests have been given back to the students.  We started the next chapter this week.  We'll spend a few class periods on these words and then be moving onto Vocab 1.4 pretty soon.  I recommend the students spend time this week studying the new words with the flashcards that we cut out last class period and/or getting on quizlet.   Also, you can check their Spanish folders to double check they have their current Vocab list glued into their spiral notebook, and that they have their flashcards from this vocab cut out.  3rd grade cards are red, 4th are green, and 5th are blue.  I have started giving students notes in class for them to write down in their spiral, so you can also look in their spiral to see what notes they took in class.

Homework for each grade level:

• 3rd grade:  Workbook (WB) p. 11,12, 13 Due Mon. Oct. 2   They will have some class time to start the homework today.  (They also have notes in their spiral that will help them with it. They can also come see me during Lyceum for help with it.)
• 4th grade: Workbook (WB) p. 11, 12, 13  Due Thurs. Oct. 5
• 5th grade: Because of the 1/2 days this Fri. and next Fri. I won't be seeing the students as much. WB p. 11 Due Tues. Oct. 3 

First Test on Greetings and Family

¡Hola!

Vocabulary 1.2

¡Hola!
We learned about other cultures this past week:  3rd grade - Peru, 4th - Nicaragua and 5th - Bolivia. You can ask your child what they found interesting about that country.  We have begun a new chapter on the family. The students have made a family tree and they are going to be cutting up matching cards of the new vocabulary for homework this weekend and hopefully they will also practice matching them this weekend.  Next week they'll be completing the workbook pages for "semana 2".  I continue to encourage them to get on Quizlet to practice their new vocabulary.  https://quizlet.com/ACCSpanish345/classes.  I am hoping to have an assessment of the first two chapters sometime the week of Sept. 18-22.

Gracias,
Sra. Watne
