martes, el quince de septiembre del dos mil nueve

Español Uno (1):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Discuss class jobs.

2. Discuss the significance of this week throughout much of Latin America. This week commemorates the independence days of many Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Chile & México.

3. Listen to our new song of the week: “Cielito lindo.” Quick discussion about mariachi music. Nice job catching the first missing word: corazones.

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

5. Take quick grammar notes, organizing mainly what we’ve already discovered.

In ALL Spanish classes, you will see “T charts” that organize verbs. They are always organized in the following way.

………….MIRAR……………..
MIRO…………..….MIRAMOS
MIRAS………………….
MIRA…………..….MIRAN….

.………TO LOOK……..………
I LOOK…………..WE LOOK
YOU LOOK…………….
S/HE LOOKS….…THEY LOOK

Core concept: What do those bold endings communicate to us in Spanish? 1. WHO 2. WHEN

6. Cut out our numbers to prepare for a number-learning activity tomorrow.

Homework: Come prepared with your cut-up numbers. Study your picture dictionary. Practice your gestures. Sing our song.
