Today we reviewed how adjectives in Spanish have genders just like the nouns and that they have to match the noun they define. Also, we learned how to ask what is it? and answer. (¿Qué es? Es un/una....). We also practiced using the words on page 19 from the student book. For example: ¿Qué es? Es un helado. Then, we practiced the same, but this time we answered by adding an adjective in the sentence. For example: ¿Qué es? Es un helado verde. We noticed how some colors do not change their ending regardless if the noun is masculine or feminine. For example verde, azul, rosa, naranja, marrón. We did page 18 (exercise 13) and page 19 (exercise 14 and 15) from the student book. If you want to hear the recording for exercises 9,10,13, 14 and 15 go to the following website: https://lolayleo.difusion.com/ scroll down until you see the book covers of all 3 books. Under the first book go to audios del libro en MP3 (first option under libro de alumno) and download it. The recordings related to the above exercises are #15,16,17,18 and 19 respectively.
​
​
Homework for next time.
Go to page 19 in the student book exercise 15. Pick 6 drawings. For each one in your journal write the question ¿Qué es?and answer it. Make sure in your answer you include the color. For Example: ¿Qué es? Es un helado rosa. Make sure you bring it to class next time so that I can correct it.

They used complete sentences in Spanish saying...This is my family. This is me. My name is .....I am ...years old. This is my mom. Her name is .... She is .....years old etc. Can't wait to see the rest of the projects come in and see the rest of our kiddos present. We also reviewed how to count by 10 to a 100 and practiced how to read numbers 0-100. We also learned the possesive case in Spanish to show that something belongs to someone. For example: Maria's dog is El perro de Maria.

We also learned how to form plurals in Spanish (page 28 student book). We also introduced ¿De dónde eres?=where are you from, ¿De dónde es?=where is he/she from.
