Buenos días
Buenas tardes
Buenas noches
Try practicing these at home during the appropriate time of
day. Your child should also have an introduction of him/herself in their
binder. Have them read it to you. They will be reading it to the class during
our next meeting.
We also touched on word gender, i.e. la niña, el
niño, and the Spanish pronunciation of vowels. To practice their
sound, they learned a song called La Mar Estaba Serena. It should be in their binders, and they
are assigned to teach it to their families to practice for our next class.
In addition, we had a look at the Spanish alphabet and pointed out differences compared to the English version. Namely the use of letters ch, ll, ñ, rr, the silent h sound as well as the double question and exclamation marks ¿? and ¡! and a brief mention of accents. Please review this in the beginning pages of the Cuaderno de Práctica your child brought home.

Your child also learned an important question I encourage
her/him to ask me, and you to them:
¿Qué quiere decir xxxxxxx?
Literally translating
to: What does xxxxxxx want to say? Or, what does xxxxxxx mean?
Saludos,
