We quickly covered how to tell time: es la una (it is one o'clock), son las dos (it is two o'clock), son las tres (it is three o'clock), and so on. We learned new adjectives such as grande (big), pequeño (small) and bonito (beautiful), as well as some new names for animals: el burro (donkey), el camello (camel), el caballo (horse), el lobo (wolf) and el dragón (dragon).
Next week we will continue with introductions and greetings: Buenos días (Good morning/Good day/Hello), buenas tardes (Good afternoon/Good evening), buenas noches (Good evening/Good night), ¿Cómo estás? (How are you?), etc.
Please go over pages 1 and 3 in our book (Rose Thomas) and watch the two videos below in preparation for class. You will notice that in the video by Sr. Howard he uses new words and expressions such as enfermo (sick) or Me duele (It hurst) followed by body parts (eg. Me duele el brazo: my arm hurts, etc.). They also use ¿Por qué? (Why).
It is important you come prepared so we can put a puppet show together during class. We will have a dragon (el dragón), a butterfly (la mariposa), a witch (la bruja), a boy (el niño) and maybe a few more characters. ¡Hasta el martes! See you on Tuesday!
