¡Feliz Día de Martin Luther King Jr! It's a good day to remember all that people like Martin Luther King Jr. have done to make our country a more equal and just one.
As Ustedes are enjoying su fin de semana extendido (your long weekend), I wanted to remind 5th and 6th graders about their prueba (quiz) on miércoles (Wednesday). Remember to look over the following things:
- El verbo ser: how to say I am, you informal are, he/she is, you formal are, we are, they are, you all are in Spanish.
- Important preguntas (questions) we learned using ser:
¿Quién eres? (who are you?)
¿De dónde eres? (where are you from?) Make sure you also know tu ciudad
(city), estado (state) y país (country) - los Estados Unidos!
¿Cómo eres? (what are you like?)
***Remember also that these questions change their meaning when we change the verb:
¿Quién es Señora Greaves? (who is Señora Greaves?)
¿De dónde es Señora Greaves? (where is Señora Greaves from?)
¿Cómo es Señora Greaves? (what is Señora Greaves like?)
- Descripciones: describing words on the ¿Quién es? Descripciones handout (the one with all of the faces on it). Know how to describe someone (tall or short? Pretty or handsome? Blond, brunette, or red-head? Funny or serious?)
- ¿Por qué es importante hablar español?: Why speak Spanish? Look back at the Spanish: A Global Language reading that we had, especially at the three reasons we wrote on the side (one of the 3 most spoken languages on Earth, US is the 5th largest Spanish-speaking country, US has a Spanish-speaking past).
- Día de los Reyes: What is it? When is it? What does it celebrate? What do people do on that day?
- Países (countries) en Sudamérica: know how to identify them on a map.
Aquí hay a few games for you to practice with!
