martes, el dos de febrero del dos mil diez

Español Uno (1):

Announcement: Classes shortened to 41 minutes due to Stanford testing.

Today’s Agenda:

1. Discuss our new words for “this/these/that/those/that (far away)/those (far away).”

this—este/esta
these—estos/estas
that—ese/esa
those—esos/esas
that (far away)—aquel/aquella
those (far away)—aquellos/aquellas

We have a very helpful refrain to help us remember the differences between the similar-sounding words “this/these/that/those”:

“This” & “these” have t’s; “that” & “those” don’t.

2. Begin to read our first story in the past. While “Ana, la astronauta enferma” is a familiar story, remember that our focus is on hearing repetitions of our new & very important words in the past!!!

Homework: None officially, though do consider making flashcards for our chapter 6 vocabulary.
