jueves, el diez de septiembre del dos mil nueve

Español Uno (1):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Do our “para empezar” warm-up. How well can you hear our new Spanish words in your head as I gesture them? How accurately can you write them?

2. Listen to our new song of the week: “¿Dónde estás, Yolanda?”

3. Practice our basic questions, as well as receive a new handout of basic questions.

New questions (on new handout):

----¿Qué día es hoy?.....(What day is today?)
--------Hoy es (lunes / martes / miércoles / etc.)…….(Today is (Mon./Tue./Wed./etc.))

----¿Qué día es mañana?.....(What day is tomorrow?)
--------Mañana es……...(Tomorrow is….)

----¿Qué día fue ayer?....(What day was yesterday?)
--------Ayer fue……..(Yesterday was….)

***Cultural notes: The week begins on Monday in the Spanish-speaking world, as opposed to Sunday in the English-speaking world.

***Days of the week are not capitalized in Spanish.

4. Practice our gestures and our “No lo sé” song.

5. Finish reading “¡Jason no entiende!”

Homework: Offically there is nothing due. However, it is a great idea to start studying our picture dictionary phrases & our new song.

Today’s Agenda:

1. Do our “para empezar” warm-up. How well can you hear our new Spanish words in your head as I gesture them? How accurately can you write them?

2. Listen to our new song of the week: “¿Dónde estás, Yolanda?” Nice job catching the remaining missing words: mi, me, guapa, día, ver.
