  • Turned in Parent information letters (re: workbook & level appropriate)
  • Reviewed months of the year and some weather expressions with poems and songs: (1) En enero hace frío (period 2 only did this one)

(2) En enero nieva mucho = to the song, My Darling Clementine.

(per. 4 did both)

  • Practiced vowel sounds and learned a rhyme incorporating them.
  • Practiced plurals of nouns: Nouns ending with a consonant need “ES” , whereas nouns ending with a vowel need just the “S”.
