Dear Holy Cross Spanish K-3 Families,
The students amazed me with how prepared they were to resettle into their routine after having missed two weeks of Spanish! Students in K-2 learned animal words which include the following:
el gato - cat
el perro - dog
el pez - fish
el pez dorado - goldfish
la culebra - snake
el caballo - horse
la vaca - cow
la abeja - bee
la mariposa - butterfly
el pato - duck
el ganso - goose
la oveja - sheep
el gallo - rooster
el oso - bear
la rana - frog
la tortuga - tortoise
el hámster - hamster
los ratones - mice
los pájaros - birds
el cerdo - pig
Please feel free to review words with your child. Making flash cards for review generally works very well.
Spanish 3 students worked on reviewing family relationships and translating sentences from Spanish to English. In addition, Spanish 3 students were granted an extension on the Mi familia assignment. It is now due on Wednesday, March 3rd. Rubrics will go home with students this week.
All students should continue to work on the Glory Be and Hail Mary from now through the end of the school year. Spanish 3 students especially should work on these because they will be moving on to also learning the Our Father during the final quarter. Feel free to contact me at Holy Cross on Wednesdays or by e-mail at tlewis@holycrossweb.com should you ever have questions or concerns.
I welcome communications from you at any time and look forward to continuing to work with your child throughout the remainder of the school year. I am blessed to have such loving students in all grades that are well-disciplined and always eager to learn. Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Sra. Lewis
