Homework this week

Hola,

We have a lot going on this week! Most classes are ending their units this week, so there is a lot going on! Find your child's grade to get an update and the assigned homework as well.

3rd grade: Third grade did such a fantastic job this unit! Last Friday, they created "surrealist" paintings after learning about the artist Salvador Dali and surrealism in art. Their theme was nature and they did a great job creating artwork that really resembled this period as well incorporating their vocabulary. Today they briefly presented them in class and I will hang them up for all to see! The rest of this week, we will be reviewing what we have learned in this unit and on Thursday and Friday, they will have their unit exam. I sent home homework packets (due Friday) that had a little vocabulary review, but also told them what to focus on while they study. Please make sure your student is studying these things. A great idea is to make flashcards, or you can quiz them. Another idea is to have them teach you the words. I think they all will do a great job!

4th grade: Fourth grade is doing fantastic so far! We have not finished the unit yet, but will be having the test on Tuesday, as I announced last week. This is not a unit test, but will help them be prepared for their unit test. The focus is on the house, the rooms, the furniture and answering questions. Then, students will be learning about daily routine in Ecuador. Homework packets will be due Friday.

5th grade: Today was the best day in 5th grade! EVERY ONE participated and spoke in Spanish and ALL were enthusiastic about learning! Because of their fantastic behavior, all students earned 10 pesos! We are continuing to practice body parts and students will have their unit exam on Thursday and Friday. Also, I am trying to arrange a field trip so I will keep you updated as I get more details!

6th and 7th grade: Sixth and seventh grades have a lot going on! They are currently finishing up their adventure stories, which are due Friday (tomorrow is the last day to work on them during class). Then, we will review and they, too, will have their unit exam Thursday and Friday. They also have a small homework packet (due Friday) that will help prepare them for this upcoming exam. Many of our students in these grades have NOT been turning in homework. I am accepting them late with a point penalty, but I plan on making phone calls and sending emails later this week if students continue to not turn in their homework.

As always, I still have tutoring on Tuesdays from 3:40 to 4:20. Please feel free to contact me if you would like your child to join! It's not too late! :)

Thank you all again for all of your support!
