Grange Hall PTA update

The Grange Hall PTA is trying to go green by limiting the amount of paperwork they send home. ¡Bravo!  They have started a new website and you can get e-mail updates by signing up on the website.  Go to http://worknotes.com/VA/GrangeHall/PTA/newsflash1.aspx to sign up for yourself.  And look for Spanish newsletters and vocabulary lists to be posted here next year, instead of getting them in your child's Tuesday folders.

Los Alimentos

This week 3rd graders are working on learning food vocabulary.  They are making small posters of each food group.  Here are a few examples.


They will be using much of these words in the upcoming weeks to talk about their likes and dislikes and to practice ordering in a restaurant.   

La Pirinola

3rd graders got to play La Pirinola last week as part of their intensive number review this year.  It is a fun dreidel-like toy that when it lands you have to follow the directions on the side that lands up.  Learning to say the numbers in Spanish and think in Spanish was a challenge.


Los Planetas

Here are a couple of foldables the 4th graders have completed in learning about the planets and ordinal numbers in Spanish.

Los Planetas

Grange Hall 4th graders are learning about the planets in Spanish class.  To help them remember the names of all of the planets in Spanish I have been showing this old video from the 80's.  I explain to them that the planets are not in order and it is a bit out of date (including Pluto as a planet) but they thoroughly enjoy the catchy tune and saying the names of the planets.
