Our learning goal today is:
to recognize examples of cognates and loan words
Coming up this week we will have a reading task and a writing task to finish up with Capítulo 1A.
Hace sol. Hace fresco. Es un día hermoso en el otoño.
Today we will take a listening and reading comprehension assessment that targets our knowledge of the vocabulary. In this chapter we are learning how to say what we like to do. We've learned to say I like to....and I don't like to...
Here are some of the actividades that we are talking about in class:
Hola, estudiantes. Hoy vamos a estudiar y practicar el vocabulario. Today we are going to study and practice the vocabulary for Chapter 1A. Es un día de trabajar y tienen la oportunidad hacer preguntas. Today is a work day and you have the opportunity to ask questions. We are working from the Practice Books in class. Study the vocabulary tonight as we are having a quiz tomorrow. It will be an interpretive listening (do you understand what is being said in Spanish) and an interpretive reading (do you understand what you are reading in Spanish) that focuses on the vocabulary for this chapter. Tengan un buen día.
