miércoles, el diez de septiembre del dos mil ocho

Español Uno (1):

Announcements:

1. Our págame system starts today!
2. Listening evaluations begin tomorrow!

Today's Learning Objectives:

1. Listen to our song of the week, "¿Dónde estás, Yolanda?"

Discussion of our observations about Spanish writing: 1) Questions start with an upside-down question mark. 2) Spanish has "accent marks" that let us know how to say the word. Wherever there's an accent mark, the word gets "umpf" exactly where the accent mark is.

Students do a word search as the teacher tells them, for example, "Busquen 'eyes' " and students find that word in our song and say "ojos."

2. Continue reading more of our story "Ana, la astronauta enferma."

Some new words come up in our reading today. The following list is in order of appearance:

--tiene = s/he has
--la pared = the wall
--el suéter = the sweater
--otra idea = another idea

Homework: None.
