viernes, el once de septiembre del dos mil nueve

Español Uno (1):

Today’s Agenda:

1. Use some basic knowledge about Spanish phonetics (particularly the vowel sounds—a, e, i, o, u) to spell new words. Nice job spelling with such accuracy…isn’t Spanish logical?

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

3. Practice our basic questions.

4. Illustrate selected scenes from our “¡Jason no entiende!” story.

5. Practice retelling the story aloud with a partner. Listen to some brave volunteers share their versions aloud. Impressive!

6. Practice writing the story.

Homework: (1st hour only): Read the story “¡Jason no entiende!” (in ENGLISH) to an adult and get a signature for Monday. (2nd hour): You will be assigned to do this on Monday evening, but feel free to do this over the weekend if you would like.
